Russia unveils UNLIMITED RANGE cruise missile powered by nuclear thrust
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to this special report, which is really about some red flags for the United States military, national defense, and wars with potentially China at some point and Russia currently.
So the warning is that Russia has just announced a new missile, an unlimited range cruise missile that can very easily bypass all anti-air defenses possessed by the United States and Israel for that matter.
And when I say unlimited range cruise missiles, you're like, how is that even possible?
Well, this is the nuclear-powered missile.
So the thrust is nuclear-powered.
And this is something that Russia's been testing for many, many years.
They crashed one a few years back.
I talked about it in the podcast, and I was baffled at the time.
Like, how can this be nuclear-powered thrust?
Well, there's some kind of a jet engine in the missile or something like that.
Maybe it's a ramjet engine.
It has to be like a turbine engine, but it's powered by nuclear power that's on the missile.
So it doesn't burn through fuel except the nuclear fuel, which of course lasts a very long time.
So this thing can, apparently, it can cruise around the whole planet many times.
It can just loiter in the atmosphere while it's circling the planet over and over again, waiting for instructions of where to come down and attack.
Now, Russia names this, and I'm going to try to pronounce it correctly, the Budoveshnik missile.
Remember the Oreshnik weapon system that Russia unveiled not too long ago?
I guess the NIC at the end, seems like all these weapons are named something NIC.
I don't know what Nick means, but maybe we have some Russian listeners who can explain that.
Anyway, the Byoraveshnik is this new weapon system.
They tested it flying over 14,000 kilometers, which is, I mean, 14,000 kilometers, what, is that all the way to the USA from Russia?
Probably, but it can go, you know, farther than 14,000 kilometers.
And apparently it flies at about 1,000 kilometers per hour.
And yeah, here it is.
It's called a nuclear turbojet.
So I was right.
It does have a turbine.
And the spinning of the turbine is created by onboard nuclear fuel.
And so it can just fly around forever.
Well, until the nuclear fuel rods run out or whatever.
But that's a long time.
It could probably stay airborne for months.
And it could just circle the planet.
So this thing flies around and just waits for commands of when to hit a target.
And when that happens, then this can evade all systems.
It doesn't take a ballistic trajectory path.
It has control surfaces, you know, little fins and so on, tail fins and side fins, and it can, you know, maneuver.
And so there's nothing in the world that can stop this.
So Russia's defense minister Garasimov, he says, quote, the technical characteristics of the Budoveshnik missile make it capable of striking highly protected targets at any distance with guaranteed accuracy.
Any distance.
That means, you know, Washington, D.C. It could hit Trump's Mar-a-Lago.
You know, it could hit whatever, the Federal Reserve or whatever they want to target.
He continues and says, quote, during the test flight, the missile successfully performed all designated vertical and horizontal maneuvers, demonstrating its strong ability to evade anti-missile and air defense systems.
Apparently, this missile is also a stealth missile.
It cannot be detected via conventional radar.
And it's even hard for Russia to track it even though they know where it is.
This is the weapon system that President Putin says is a, quote, unique product that no one else in the world has, although this missile has not yet been put into actual live combat.
So they've successfully tested it.
They've been building it for many, many years.
I can only imagine how technically complex this thing is, because to release that much nuclear energy so rapidly to generate sufficient thrust, it Seems like a hazardous engineering endeavor to me.
Do you really want to be around that much radiation when you're building this thing or testing it?
I don't know.
I have no idea how it works.
But apparently, it works.
So this is just another weapon system that Russia has that makes U.S. anti-air defense systems obsolete.
And it shows Russia is advancing, just leapfrogging U.S. military capabilities because the U.S. military is bogged down in waste and fraud.
The Pentagon has about a trillion dollars a year budget now, thanks to Trump.
And where does that trillion dollars go?
Nobody knows.
It goes down deep, dark holes and into people's pockets and bank accounts.
It ends up in crypto and gold bars.
I mean, who knows where it goes?
But it certainly doesn't go into making better weapons because the U.S. has crap weapons, like totally obsolete junk weapons that just are not modernized.
I don't know how else to tell you, but the U.S. is currently, I don't know, 10 to 20 years behind Russia in terms of leading-edge weapon development.
And the Oreshnik missile system was additional proof of that.
America doesn't have anything like Oreshnik.
And if America did have that, Trump would be launching those every day against somebody.
Whereas when Russia has it, which can strike any target anywhere in the world with absolute non-nuclear devastation, total devastation, but not nuclear, just kinetic devastation, Putin has only used it, I don't know, twice or something like that in Ukraine.
He could have used it to wipe out missile factories in Germany or weapons factories in the UK or to hit whatever in France.
But he didn't.
He's exercised a lot of discipline, holding back on it.
If Trump had that weapon, man, there'd be another target destroyed every day.
The only reason the U.S. isn't bombing everybody is because they just can't reach them.
Seriously.
And Trump is on a rampage blowing up all these speedboats near Venezuela and falsely claiming that Venezuela is the hub of the drug trade.
Yeah, that's all nonsense.
It's a totally false narrative.
There are totally different reasons why he wants to attack Venezuela.
It's got nothing to do with fentanyl, nothing to do with drugs.
Trust me on that.
But it's not just Russia that has advanced weapon systems.
Of course, China is an engineering giant, an industrial giant, the industrial giant of the world.
And over the weekend, the U.S. Navy lost two aircraft that are stationed on the USS Nimitz in the South China Sea.
Two aircraft took a dive into the South China Sea.
And one of those was a Seahawk helicopter known as MH60R.
And the other one is an F-18 Super Hornet.
Both of these on the same carrier, both of these in flight fell into the ocean and were gone.
The crew ejected safely and were rescued, apparently, so there were no deaths.
But these two aircraft are toast.
Now, what do you suppose is happening there?
I mean, it's very clear to me and others that China is simply testing electronic warfare.
China has figured out ways to simply disable these aircraft.
And that's what they did.
They just disabled them mid-flight.
And this is probably a final test of that capability to make sure they work against actual U.S. aircraft.
And sure enough, they work.
And the USS Nimitz is now minus two, minus one helicopter, minus one F-18, sitting on the bottom of the South China Sea.
So why is it that the U.S. can't defend itself against these kinds of weapons?
Well, the answer is because, again, China is so much more advanced.
China has more engineers.
China has more advanced AI technology.
Did you know that most of the most popular AI models, I think I mentioned this last week, are all from China, Alibaba and other companies.
The most popular models in the world come from China.
They're the most capable models.
So China has mastered a lot of areas of engineering and technology, including weapons interference technology.
And they're clearly testing that.
So if the U.S. ever goes to war against China, China is going to press a button and all of America's aircraft are just going to fall out of the sky, which is exactly what just happened for two of them.
You know, just fall out of the sky.
Terminated.
And then Russia, again, has got these missiles and there's no defense against them.
What are they again?
The Bodovesnik.
That's going to be a tough one to remember.
Bjorovestnik.
Okay, I'll try to remember that one.
Russia also, over the weekend, it's widely reported that they encircled and cut off at least 10,000 Ukrainian troops.
A massive encirclement campaign was carried out by Russia.
And anywhere from 10,000 to even as many as 30,000 Ukrainian troops are now encircled and are going to be forced to surrender, is what it looks like.
It's always kind of sketchy with the Russia-Ukraine war situation.
So don't hold me to that, but that's what it looks like is happening.
And I think this might be a significant defeat for Ukraine to lose that many active duty soldiers in a mass encirclement type of event.
I'm not sure how long Ukraine can continue to function just due to lack of personnel.
Even if it has weapons support from other countries, even if it has financial support, it's running out of men.
And you can't just print men, right?
You can print dollars.
You can't print men.
You also can't print tanks, it turns out.
You can't print artillery, although we are trying.
Let me give you some additional details of that.
RT, which is, of course, the official outlet of Russia, is saying that 10,000 Ukrainian troops have been encircled in the Kupyansk areas and this other area called Krasno-Armetsk something.
Sorry, man, it's just this.
The last few years, I really wish I could speak Russian, but it's a tough language.
But Kupyansk is apparently 100 kilometers east of Kharkov.
You've heard of Kharkov.
That's a very famous city in Ukraine.
And then the Krasnormiesk is located in Russia's Donetsk People's Republic, which we've heard about Donetsk, you know, part of Eastern, former Eastern Ukraine, now Western Russia, I guess, depending on how this thing turns out.
My goodness.
Apparently, 31 Ukrainian battalions have been encircled now.
Wow.
31 battalions?
Well, so you're probably going to hear about this in the coming days.
And you'll hear a lot of denials from Trump and the West.
No, that hasn't happened.
It's like Treasury Secretary Besent telling you that, yeah, the financial situation in America is totally under control.
There's not a debt problem.
What debt problem?
We have tariffs, he says, even though tariffs bring in a tiny pittance of revenue compared to the trillion dollars that we are going into debt every 75 days at this point.
Besent is just gaslighting constantly to the American people, just making stuff up out of whole cloth and hoping everybody will buy it.
It's unbelievable.
Beset is kind of like the treasury version of Zelensky.
It's like whatever the reality is, he will tell you the opposite.
Zelensky's like, we're not surrounded.
We surrounded Russia, you know, or whatever.
Okay.
Yeah, in your dreams, you did.
But in the real world, the situation is pretty dire.
So, all right.
So anyway, the important point of this report is the new Russian unlimited range stealth missile system, the Byoroveshnik, is now a reality.
I don't know when it's going to be deployed, but the Oreshnik missile system was deployed pretty quickly within, I don't know, what was it like six months or something after it was initially demonstrated?
And then the Oreshnik has gone into serial production as of months ago.
And I recall that Putin said they're going to be making roughly about one Oreshnik system per weekday, you know, 30 a month or maybe a little bit less than 30 a month.
25 or 20 or whatever.
Something in that range.
Like 300 a year is, I think, what they said.
Well, I wonder if this new missile, what's it called?
The Byudaveshnik.
I wonder when this is going to go into serial production.
Could be maybe by the spring of next year.
And, you know, that could mean if the U.S. attacks Iran, you know, Russia could launch a bunch of Budoveshniks from wherever, from, you know, from the Yamal oil fields in Western Russia if they want to.
It doesn't matter where they launch them from.
They can just launch them from, you know, anywhere and just send them to hit like U.S. aircraft carriers near Iran or any target, anywhere.
It's pretty wild.
And doesn't it also make you wonder that when these things hit and they explode, don't they also explode all the remaining nuclear fuel?
So I'm just curious.
I mean, isn't it also kind of a dirty bomb at the same time, which I don't know how legal that is in terms of not that the U.S. cares about anything being legal anyway, but in terms of international weapons treaties, wouldn't it be illegal to blow up a bunch of nuclear material somewhere?
It's kind of like a cruise missile with a bonus dirty bomb on it, I would imagine.
I don't even know.
You know what?
Let me ask AI here and see if we can find out what nuclear material does this missile use.
Let's see.
AI is telling me that NATO calls it the SSCX-9 Skyfall.
So if you hear the name Skyfall, it's the same thing.
It's believed to be powered by a small nuclear reactor, which could theoretically give it unlimited range.
Yeah, we know.
Let's see, a compact nuclear reactor.
It seems like we could use that to generate electricity for data centers.
It will use probably enriched uranium or a similar fissile material as fuel.
Okay.
So enriched uranium.
Well, if that blows up, isn't that an environmental problem?
You know, isn't that a dirty bomb?
Do you want a bunch of enriched uranium blasted in a radius around the impact point?
I mean, I'm sure I'm not the only one asking this question because this seems like an obvious concern.
It's one thing to get hit with a giant explosive, but it's another thing then to have it be a contaminated nuclear site, a radiological site that you can't even go in and even rescue the survivors or you can't even rebuild because your Geiger counters are going crazy, right?
That's what it is.
It's kind of like, again, it's not a nuclear detonation, but it's a nuclear material dispersion system.
So yeah, it's a kaboom and a dirty bomb together.
Yeah, that sounds like hell.
Better hope we don't get hit with one of those.
Well, then again, America and Israel, they use white phosphorus and depleted uranium all over the place, which also is, in essence, a weapon of mass destruction, depleted uranium, DU, right?
So maybe Russia is just going to say, hey, you guys use DU.
So what are you complaining about?
I don't know.
We'll see.
In related news, the START treaty is expiring early next year.
And once it expires, Russia says we're not going to honor it at all anymore.
The clock is counting down.
And as soon as START is off the books, it's like, hey, anything goes in the world of mostly, what was that, medium-range nuclear missiles.
But really, the whole START treaty is kind of obsolete now anyway, with the existence of the Oreshnik systems and now the Budoveshnik.
I mean, Budoveshnik.
So I'm not sure.
Well, technically, I think START has come to an end.
And there's just nothing else that you can do with it.
Even if you reinstate START, it doesn't stop these non-nuclear weapons like Oreshnik, which can reach a target anywhere in the world.
Russia can easily put the Oreshnik warhead on an intercontinental missile system and deliver it anywhere.
So it's a dangerous time, in essence, in terms of weapon systems.
And the U.S. appears to be really technologically outmatched by both Russia.
and China.
Even though we're told by Trump and others that, oh, we have the best weapons in the world.
Everybody wants our weapons.
Not really.
Not exactly.
I mean, why do you think even India would rather have Russian air defense systems?
You know, why?
You know, Taiwan buys weapons from the U.S. because they're forced to.
But I'm sure they would much rather be able to shop around and get the best weapons and the best defense systems, even if they're not made in America or among U.S. allies, NATO countries, etc.
But no, the U.S. doesn't make the best weapons in the world.
And frankly, the U.S. barely makes anything.
America makes obsolete weapons and can't even do a good job of making those.
Actually, I mean, that's the reality of the situation.
So if we get into a military conflict, like a direct conflict with Russia or a direct conflict with Iran, or God forbid China, we're going to be decimated.
I mean, attacking China would be just a suicide mission.
Even attacking Iran would be a suicide mission.
The U.S. wouldn't last a week.
I don't know what all these neocons are thinking.
They still think we're living in 1989 or something.
The world has changed since then, and our old technology is no longer dominant on the world stage.
All right.
Well, I pray for America and I pray for peace.
And please join me in praying for peace.
And you'll notice that I've put many peace websites.
They're being indexed now at the top of censored.news.

After a long wait, we've got our turmeric extract back in stock at healthrangerstore.com.
Here it is on my screen, the organic lab-tested turmeric gold liquid extract, two ounces.
This has been out for at least six months, I think even longer than that.
And it's available now.
And as you can see from the ingredients here, it's made from lab-verified turmeric, rich in curcumin right here, and supports your body and your health in so many different ways.
People love this product.
They love how it tastes also.
And each serving gives you almost 600 milligrams of organic turmeric root extract.
So I drink turmeric every day in my smoothie.
Actually, of course, I use actually turmeric root powder in this.
That's what makes it orange.
But you can get it in a more convenient format in this turmeric extract.
We also have back in stock our organic freeze-dried aloe vera extract powder, which is a 200 to 1 concentrate of aloe vera, just the inner leaf gel that's dried, well, freeze-dried.
Again, 200 to 1.
So just a little bit goes a long way.
And you can put this into smoothies.
You can put it into drinks.
It's really fantastic.
I would just warn you, once you open it, it likes to absorb water.
So it will rehydrate quickly.
So don't leave it open.
Once you do open it, you know, try to use it more quickly because it'll start to solidify.
And in your body, you want to make sure you take it with a lot of clean water.
And the things that it will do in terms of health support are just extraordinary for your blood, for your blood flow, for the formation of your blood platelets.
I mean, I can't go into all the details here, but aloe vera with these amazing polysaccharides is just an extraordinary healing food.
And you can do all kinds of research about it.
Heck, you can research on our engine, brightu.ai.
That's our AI engine.
It has this wellness coach.
Let me actually bring that up and show you.
If you go to brightu.ai, here it is, scroll down on the screen right here.
You see this wellness coach.
Click on the wellness coach and you can say things like, hey, tell me about the benefits of aloe vera, you know, things like that.
And just hit go and here it goes.
It starts rocking all the benefits for you of just aloe vera as a as a general query.
This is not specific to our product, but just sort of general knowledge about aloe vera because we've trained our AI model on hundreds of millions of pages of content about herbs, natural health, phytochemistry, complementary medicine, prevention, and so much more.
So use these products with the knowledge that you can glean from our AI engine and you will benefit tremendously.
Okay, the other thing that we've got, which I'm showing on my desk, we now have the liquid multivitamin called Protovite, which has a little bit of aloe vera in it, by the way.
That's one of the main ingredients.
But it's got all the other vitamins, the B vitamins, minerals, and some superfood extract concentrates that are also part of Protovite.
And you drink an ounce a day and it's just extraordinary.
The changes, the health support across many systems, that's something to check out.
We don't make it, but I interviewed the founder who makes this product.
That interview is playing soon, by the way.
You'll love it.
It's called Protovite and it's at healthrangerstore.com right now.
