Putin makes nuclear-powered Burevestnik missile test claim

"...A final successful test has been held of Burevestnik missile - a global-range nuclear-powered cruise missile. ...The missile, code-named Skyfall by Nato, is said to be powered by a nuclear reactor, which is supposed to activate after solid fuel rocket boosters have launched it into the air. But the New York Times quoted an arms control campaign group, the Nuclear Threat Initiative, as saying that the previous known 13 tests of the system between 2017 and 2019 were all unsuccessful."
