Russia has conducted a successful test of the "Burevestnik" missile, featuring a nuclear power unit and warhead. The missile's unique capabilities, such as extended flight duration and the ability to bypass anti-missile defense systems, have the potential to alter the strategic dynamics between Moscow and Washington.

The test, announced by President Putin, comes as a significant move following the collapse of talks with Trump. Western experts have raised concerns about the environmental and nuclear risks associated with the "Burevestnik," likening it to a "flying Chernobyl." The development of this system by Russia is seen as a response to U.S. missile defense initiatives, including proposals like Trump's "Golden Dome."
