A video released by the Kremlin after the testing showed Putin dressed in camouflage fatigues meeting with Russia’s chief of general staff Gen Valery Gerasimov, the Associated Press reported.
Gerasimov briefed Putin on the testing, saying the missile, named Burevestnik, had covered 14,000 kilometres (8700 miles) during its testing on Tuesday this week.
