Vladimir Putin visited the P.V. Mandryk Central Military Clinical Hospital in Moscow.
Burevestnik has undeniable advantages, and Russia can be proud of the achievements of its scientists and specialists, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
Nuclear technologies used in the Burevestnik cruise missile will be applied in the lunar program, he added.
"We will be able to use it in the national economy, we will be able to use it in the future when solving problems of energy supply in the Arctic, we will use it in the lunar program," Putin said at a meeting with soldiers fighting in the special military operation who are currently undergoing treatment.
Electronics used in Burevestnik are already being used in space programs, the president added.
He also said that Russia successfully tested the Poseidon unmanned underwater vehicle with a nuclear power installation on October 28.
"Yesterday we conducted another test of another promising system — the unmanned underwater vehicle Poseidon, also with a nuclear power installation. This is a huge success," Putin said at a meeting with participants of the special military operation.
For the first time, it was possible not only to launch it from a carrier submarine using the booster engine, but also to start the nuclear power installation, on which the vehicle traveled for a certain amount of time, the president said.
"Moreover, in terms of the speed and depth of movement of this unmanned vehicle, there are no analogues in the world, and it is unlikely to appear in the near future. There are no methods of interception," Putin said.
On Course of Special military Operation
The situation in the zone of the special military operation is developing favorably for Russia:
Russia is currently ensuring its security in the zone of the operation for the long term
Everyone on the front line is acting heroically
In Kupyansk and Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk), the enemy is blocked and surrounded
Ukraine's political leadership must make decisions regarding the fate of its citizens who are surrounded
Russian troops have no objection to allowing media, including Ukrainian and foreign outlets, into the encircled areas
Russia is concerned that there could be provocations from the Ukrainian side while media are in the area where encircled Ukrainian troops are located.
