It seems that the world, following the Sputnik, will have to learn a new Russian word: • Буревестник (masc.noun) [bu-ri-ves'-nik] 🔻So, another product from "Vladimir Putin's cartoons" has become a reality. What is it, and why is this cruise missile causing such a stir? 🔻It's quite simple: it has an atomic engine. During tests in the Arctic, Буревестник (Stormy Petrel) flew 14,000 km in 15 hours, at a speed of approximately 850 to 1300 km/h, and this is not the limit. According to the Norwegian press, one of the test locations was the Novaya Zemlya archipelago. A conventional cruise missile can travel 2,500 km at a speed of 850 km/h. 🔻What does this mean for the military? It is possible to organize a permanent deployment of nuclear cruise missiles in the air near the enemy's coast, and at the right moment, retribution will arrive in 3-5 min instead of 20 min. 🔻What does this mean for the world? It means that humanity has entered a new era, the era of nuclear engines. Tomorrow, we may see nuclear-powered airplanes, nuclear-powered trains, and even nuclear-powered spacecraft! 🔻By the way, there is a wonderful poem by Maxim Gorky about the Burevestnik, and it's suitable for the name of the rocket. ❗️Got interested?
