☢️ Where russia Stores Burevestnik Nuclear Missile Revealed — Reuters

American researchers Decker Eveleth and Jeffrey Lewis analyzed satellite images from Planet Labs and discovered the probable deployment site of the russian nuclear-powered Burevestnik cruise missile.

Construction of new facilities near the nuclear warhead storage facility in the Vologda-20 military town area has been identified. According to Evelet, this involves nine horizontal launch pads located in three groups inside high berms designed to protect against attack or detonation as a result of an accidental explosion.

The 9M370 Burevestnik system, which NATO identifies as the SSC-X-9 Skyfall, was publicly discussed in 2018. Putin claimed it had virtually unlimited range and could bypass U.S. missile defenses. Military analysts have cast doubt on such claims.

It is assumed that its range is 23,000km. The missile will fly at subsonic speed, so it will be detectable.
