Those who didn’t believe Russian President Vladimir Putin‘s 2018 claims about the Burevestnik and Poseidon missile systems will now have to. This was stated to journalists by the Secretary of the Security Council of Russia, Sergei Shoigu, summarizing the first session of the international festival “Peoples of Russia and the CIS”, reports TASS.
“If we’re saying that this new weapon—I mean both the Stormwind and the Poseidon—came as a surprise, then I can say one thing: there was no surprise. Vladimir Vladimirovich said this from the rostrum during his address to the Federal Assembly in 2018. Another issue is that maybe some did not believe then, but now they will have to believe,” Shoigu said.
Earlier, during a meeting with representatives of the Air Defense Forces, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia had successfully tested the Poseidon unmanned underwater vehicle with a nuclear power plant. According to the head of state, it is significantly more powerful than the prospective Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile.
Earlier, the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov reported to the head of state on the completion of tests of the Burevestnik cruise missile with an unlimited range, which during the test on October 21 spent about 15 hours in the air and traveled a distance of 14,000 km.
