According to CNN, no air defence system can cope with the Burevestnik missile.
The nuclear-capable Burevestnik intercontinental cruise missile cannot be intercepted by existing air defence systems, CNN said.
“The new version of the intercontinental cruise missile has a virtually unlimited range. This low-flying, low-observable cruise missile is invulnerable to all missile defence systems,” the anchor said.
This missile poses a serious threat, correspondent Jill Dougherty added.
“It is dangerous and it is a serious threat,” she commented on the successful test of the Burevestnik
“Burevestnik” is one of the latest weapon systems. According to the Defence Ministry, it is an intercontinental cruise missile of virtually unlimited range with a nuclear propulsion system. It is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. The Russian military noted that the low-flying, low-observable cruise missile is invulnerable to all existing and prospective systems of both anti-missile and air defence.
