US President Donald Trump has condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent nuclear-powered missile test, calling it “not appropriate”. Trump urged Putin to focus on ending the ongoing conflict in Ukraine instead of testing new strategic weapons.
Details of the Burevestnik Missile Test
The Burevestnik missile, also known as SSC-X-9 Skyfall, is a nuclear-powered and nuclear-capable cruise missile with an almost unlimited range and unpredictable flight path, making it difficult to intercept. Russia claims the missile can pierce any defense shield, but Western experts question its strategic value.
Global Reactions
The Kremlin has dismissed Trump’s criticism, stating that Russia will continue to prioritize its national interests. The international community remains concerned about the escalation of tensions between Russia and the US.
