نظرة عامة على النظام
Experimental cruise missile powered by a nuclear thermal propulsion engine providing theoretically unlimited range. Designed to fly at low altitude via unpredictable flight paths to bypass all missile defense systems. Testing has experienced significant difficulties including crashes and nuclear contamination incidents at Nyonoksa test site. One of the most controversial weapons programs in modern history.

المزايا
- Effectively unlimited range allows global strike without basing constraints
- Very low-altitude cruise profile evades traditional BMDS systems
- Can loiter and maneuver before strike — unpredictable terminal approach
- Nuclear deterrent extending threat to intercontinental distances
- No ballistic trajectory — evades all ballistic missile defense architectures
العيوب
- Multiple test failures reported; operational status highly uncertain
- Open-cycle nuclear propulsion leaves radioactive exhaust trail
- Nuclear safety risk in peacetime storage and testing
- Development may violate INF Treaty provisions
- Subsonic speed may still be interceptable by advanced SAM systems
