'Not Playing Games': Trump Responds To Putin Testing 'Invincible' Nuclear Cruise Missile

Vladimir Putin supervised a successful test of Russia's new nuclear-capable cruise missile, the "Burevestnik," presented as "invincible." This missile is designed for integration into Russia's strategic arsenal, with Putin ordering preparations for its deployment. The test prompted a response from former President Donald Trump. Trump criticized Putin for focusing on missile tests instead of ending the war in Ukraine. Trump alluded to the US's strong military presence, highlighting the existence of a nuclear submarine near Russia. He downplayed the significance of the test, stating that the US also frequently tests missiles. The test occurred on October 21 but was announced by the Kremlin on Sunday. The Burevestnik missile reportedly flew 14,000km during testing, demonstrating its ability to evade defenses. Russian media claims the missile is unique and undetectable by conventional means. Putin first revealed the project in 2018, describing it as a weapon with unlimited range and maneuverability.
