Russia's testing of the Burevestnik cruise missile and the Poseidon unmanned underwater vehicle "is in no way nuclear." This was stated by Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, reports UNN with reference to Russian "media."
Details
As Peskov noted, the Kremlin hopes that the relevant information "was correctly conveyed" to US President Donald Trump.
Until now, we were not aware that anyone was conducting tests. And if somehow the testing of "Burevestnik" is meant, then this is in no way a nuclear test. All countries are engaged in the development of their defense systems, but this is not a nuclear test.
When asked if these tests mean a new stage in the "arms race" between Russia and the United States, Peskov said "No."
Recall
Earlier, UNN reported that Vladimir Putin announced the "successful" testing of the Poseidon underwater nuclear device. According to him, it significantly exceeds the Sarmat strategic missile system in terms of power.
Putin also stated that the nuclear power plant of the Burevestnik missile is 1000 times smaller than a submarine reactor with comparable power.
