A NEW Russian nuclear weapon dubbed "the flying Chernobyl" has been called a major new threat to Europe.

Vladimir Putin has described the missile as “invincible”.

And the Russian leader issued a stark warning tohis foes after confirming Russia had tested the new missile, which has an effectively unlimited range because it is nuclear-powered.

The 9M730 Burevestnik, a nuclear-capable missile called SSC-X-9 Skyfall by Nato, was tested last Tuesday.

Valery Gerasimov, chief of the general staff of Russia's armed forces, confirmed that it trav-elled 14,000km on the test and was in the air for around 15 hours.

Putin said: “It is a unique ware which nobody else in the world has.”
