On Thursday, Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin announced a successful weapons test in the Arctic.

According to Russian President Vladimir Putin (70), progress has been made in the development of a nuclear-powered cruise missile. The projectile named Burevestnik (German translation: petrel) had been subjected to a “last successful test,” Putin said at the international Valdai discussion forum on Thursday in Sochi on the Black Sea. He did not provide further details. A few days ago, the American newspaper “New York Times” suspected, based on satellite images, that Russia would prepare Burevestnik tests in the Arctic.

Putin also announced that work on the new Sarmat-type intercontinental ballistic missile, capable of carrying nuclear warheads, had been “effectively completed.” This was put into use a few weeks ago. However, this was originally planned for 2022.

At the Valdai forum, the Kremlin head also told representatives of about 40 countries that Russia could theoretically reverse its ratification of the so-called Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, CTBT. However, the 1996 Test Ban Treaty, which provides for a comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty, has not yet entered into force because not all states with nuclear technology have ratified it. (SDA)
