Russia, nuclear missile test: Putin shows the Burevestnik, the tests

Russia could test or has tested a nuclear missile. This was revealed by the New York Times, according to which satellite images and aeronautical data suggest that Moscow “could be preparing to test an experimental nuclear-powered cruise missile, or may have recently tested one, with a theoretical range of thousands of miles.” . According to the American newspaper, “the movements of aircraft and vehicles in and near a base in the remote Russian Arctic region are consistent with preparations made for testing the missile, known as Burevestnik or SSC-X-9 Skyfall, in 2017 and in 2018.” .” US surveillance planes have also been detected in the area over the past two weeks, and aerial alerts have warned pilots to avoid nearby airspace. The NYT recalls that “Russia had already carried out 13 known tests between 2017 and 2019, all without success, according to a report by the Nuclear Threat Initiative, a non-profit group that analyzes arms control.” The nation led by Vladimir Putin is increasingly raising the bar to have super-modern weapons at its disposal.
