The most secret superweapon of Russia turned out to be the Burevestnik cruise missile with a nuclear engine, military expert Dmitry Kornev writes in Izvestia.

The specialist recalled that this weapon was presented in March 2018. "Because of its technological uniqueness, it now remains probably the most secret — there is no information about the work on it in open sources. In Western publications, it was reported that several test launches of prototypes of the product were carried out. Probably, the creation of the actual weapons system is still far away, " the author suggests.

In December 2020 in the publication "Military-industrial courier" condition and detect the use of "Petrel" warhead of two megaton (of TNT) was called "the sudden disappearance of one of the largest cities of the USA along with the entire population".

In August 2019, CNBC, citing sources familiar with the US intelligence report, reported that the explosion at the military training ground near Severodvinsk (Arkhangelsk region), which occurred in the same month, occurred during an attempt to lift the Burevestnik missile from the bottom of the sea.

In November 2018, on Twitter, The Diplomat's journalist Ankit Panda reported that the "Petrel" received the NATO code designation SSC-X-9 Skyfall ("Skyfall").
