He shared the information with Espreso TV."Today, there is confirmed information that out of all 13 attempts to launch intercontinental missiles, only two took off. The rest were unsuccessful," Tymochko told Espreso TV. "An equally important point is that these missiles are launched from ground-based launchers, so it is difficult to say how many the Russians actually have. Another feature of these missiles' engines is that they are radioactive. That is, during flight, these missiles release large amounts of toxic nuclear fuel into the air. That is why the Americans abandoned similar missiles back in the 1980s. Therefore, it is not worth talking about some kind of super weapon."Tymochko also noted that Russia appears to be attempting to revive Cold War-era missile technology."Secondly, if I am not mistaken, the territory of the Russian Federation stretches over 9,000 km from east to west. Therefore, if this missile was circling, it was only over Russian territory. It is not worth believing that these missiles are capable of covering the declared distances. In fact, the Russians have pulled out some Cold War-era developments and are trying to do something with them. Also, if a country wants to use a weapon, believe me, they always keep it a secret," he added.On October 26, Russia announced the completion of tests for the Burevestnik nuclear missile, claiming it can cover a distance of 14,000 km.
