NATO Concerned about ‘Burevestnik’ Missile Tests Sparked Serious Concern in NATO Countries

NATO views the Russian ‘Burevestnik’ missile with a nuclear installation as a significant threat, according to a confidential NATO document cited by Die Welt. Development of the ‘Burevestnik’ began over ten years ago, with preliminary tests conducted in 2018 and 2019. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the ‘Burevestnik’ flew 14,000 km during tests. Experts estimate that the cruise missile ‘Burevestnik’ can evade NATO air defense systems, posing a problem for the alliance. NATO experts are also studying the new missile ‘Oreshnik’ with a range of 5,500 km, tested in Ukraine a year ago with largely unknown technical specifications.
