Russia Is Hunting For Its Crashed Nuclear-Powered Cruise Missile And The U.S. Might Be Too
Russia is reportedly set to launch an operation to recover a prototype of its Burevestnik nuclear-powered and nuclear-armed cruise missile that came down in the Barents Sea
in 2017. At the same time, the wreckage presents a prime opportunity
for other countries, particularly the United States, to gain major
insights into its design and true capabilities.
CNBC was first to report
the Russian expedition, citing unnamed U.S. government sources with
knowledge of an American intelligence report on the matter, on Aug. 21,
2018. These individuals said that the Kremlin would dispatch three
unspecified ships, including one specially configured to recover the
missile's nuclear reactor, but said there was no set timeline for when
the operation would begin or how long it might last.
ussia test-fired four Burevestniks in total between November 2017 and
February 2018, according to the new information. The longest test
flight reportedly lasted over two minutes and saw the weapon travel a
total of 22 miles, while the shortest experiment saw the missile fail
within seconds, but it still managed to cover a distance of five miles.
The missile reportedly uses a nuclear reactor to power its propulsion
system, giving it theoretically unlimited range.
The Russians have otherwise been very tight-lipped about the design, which read more about here.
So, it's not surprising that they would want to recover any wrecks both
to prevent foreign intelligence services from getting their hands on it
and to gather more information for their test program.
