According to analysts from Asia Times, the American missile defense system known as the «Golden Dome» is vulnerable to Russia’s new Burevestnik cruise missile.

The publication noted that the development of this nuclear-powered missile means the United States can no longer rely on its oceans or advanced missile shields as a safeguard against potential nuclear strikes. The authors wrote that Russia’s recent Burevestnik tests combine the ambitions of the Cold War era with cutting-edge modern technology. They emphasized that this new weapon poses a direct threat to U.S. security.

Asia Times reported that the Burevestnik has an almost unlimited flight range and can alter its trajectory to evade U.S. and allied missile defense systems. Analysts believe the missile’s creation underscores Russia’s determination to maintain strategic deterrence and restore a global balance of power.
