The US President has criticised Vladimir Putin over the test of the new nuclear powered cruise missile as “not appropriate.”
Tensions between Moscow and Washington are growing by the week and Putin said the test of the nuclear-capable Burevestnik cruise missile is to “ensure the country’s national security.”
Putin issued another warning to the West and the UK his nuclear forces are now on the “highest level” after the successful tests of the so-called “unstoppable” nuclear missile dubbed the “Flying Chernobyl.”
Donald Trump was asked on Air Force One about the missile test, the US President said that Putin should be more focused on ending the war instead of testing cruise missiles.
Trump said the US has nuclear submarines “right off their shores” so they do not need to travel vast distances, he added, “we test missiles all the time.”

On Sunday Putin met with his top generals, he spoke of the new weapon saying, “It is truly a unique weapon, one that no other country in the world possesses.”
The Russian dictator issued another World War Three threat, the Burevestnik completed its “successful” flight which allegedly has an “unlimited range.”
Putin discussed the powerful nuclear weapon with Russia’s most senior general, Valery Gerasimov during a visit to a command post.
General Valery Gerasimov told Putin the Burevestnik cruise missile test took place on Tuesday, which flew 8,700 miles over 15 hours.
Gerasimov said, “And the technical characteristics of the Burevestnik generally allow it to be used with guaranteed accuracy against highly protected targets at any distance.
“Furthermore, during the flight, the missile performed all the prescribed vertical and horizontal manoeuvres, demonstrating its high capabilities for evading missile and air defence systems.”
“Russia’s nuclear-powered cruise missile Burevestnik isn’t invincible … Nato aircraft could intercept it,” Jeffrey Lewis, a nuclear nonproliferation expert at the Middlebury Institute, in Monterey, California, wrote on X.
“The problem is that Burevestnik represents another step in an arms race that offers no victory for either side.”
