00:00Russia just unveiled a missile that could fly for 15 hours straight without being stopped.
00:04And it's nuclear-powered.
00:06In a bold show of force, President Putin revealed that Russia successfully tested the Brevestnik missile,
00:12a nuclear-powered cruise missile unlike anything seen before.
00:16Footage shows Putin in full military gear as he's briefed on the test.
00:21Russian military officials claim the missile flew 14,000 kilometers in 15 hours,
00:26and that's not even its limit.
00:28Dubbed Skyfall by NATO, this missile is designed to dodge every existing missile defense system
00:33with an unpredictable flight path and potentially unlimited range.
00:37Putin says it's time to start prepping military infrastructure to deploy it.
00:41But here's the twist. Western experts are skeptical.
00:45They warn that this kind of tech could be wildly unstable and dangerous to the environment.
00:50In fact, back in 2019, a Brevestnik test allegedly caused an explosion,
00:56killing seven and sparking radiation fears.
00:58The U.S. and U.S.S.R. tried this decades ago and gave up, calling it too risky.
01:04But now Russia is bringing it back, calling it a weapon of the future.
01:08So the question is, unstoppable superweapon or uncontrollable threat?
01:13One thing's clear.
01:15The arms race just took a chilling new turn.
