The United States announced the possible preparation of Russia for testing the Burevestnik missile

54

On August 16, 2021, according to CNN, commercial aerospace company Capella Space received satellite data suggesting that Russia may be preparing to test a nuclear powered cruise missile. The rocket will be tested from a test site in the Far North, near the Arctic Circle.

The US CIA refused to comment on this information, did not respond to CNN and the US and Russian military departments. Meanwhile, according to American expert Jeffrey Lewis of the Middlebury Institute, the nuclear power plant will allow the cruise missile to fly "as far as possible," bypassing US missile defense systems.



At the same time, Lewis believes that there are still some questions regarding the safety of using the system for humans and the world around them. Therefore, tests of the rocket will continue, it is premature to talk about its readiness.

Until recently, Russia conducted at least one missile test in 2017, CNN reports. Then, in 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin showed a video from the tests of the Petrel: this is how the world learned about the new missile of the Russian state.

According to CNN, Russia is modernizing its missile weapons to better counter the United States and NATO and maintain its great power status and an important role in world politics.

      And where is the satellite photo with reference to the terrain, or we have photographs, but we will not show them to you! The jokers just did not transfer to the army, they made a model of the Petrel from scrap materials, and wrote with boards at the training ground: Hana is America for you, is this Petrel or else what's up! lol

          By what criteria the mattresses determined the preparation for the tests, they will not tell you.

          Ours cannot yet boast of such information content and control of the territory of the United States.

          We even see our own territory worse than the Americans.

            Yes, the Americans say a lot of things, they brought democracy to Afghanistan, as they shouted, they ripped off their voice, and now they skimp, the tailcoat is wrapped up, but still, they of course control the situation, and the mission is completed, and everything was planned, who would doubt it. America is always in control. True, the dekhkans bombed the skyscrapers, especially and without straining, by a passenger plane, but it is considered not decent to talk about it there, as everything is under control.

            The problem with the Malaysian Boeing is of the same kind as the problem with the drilled holes in the Russian spacecraft on the ISS - everyone involved and who is supposed to know everything has seen (photo control and all wiring are available), but they will not make it public.
            In order not to upset partners.
            In the same way as about the "flights of the Americans to the moon."

            And regarding the control of the surface of our planet by American satellites, it is even a sin to discuss - of course they control, and we partially and episodically. This evidence is not news and sensation. Here we have riveted satellites on the Chinese element base, we will build missiles and ... we will have everything we need.

            And with the Malaysian Boeing, everything is more than known.

      I don't see any special value in this rocket. Let it fly for at least a whole year. Its task is not to fly indefinitely, but to quickly hit the target.
      A protected object has a circular air defense defense perimeter, and it makes no difference which side it arrives from. It will still enter the circle and be detected, and given its speed, it will be easily overtaken and hit.
      Launching such a contraption and driving it along intricate routes, then another lesson, leaving behind a radioactive plume.
      Here is Zircon, this is what you need, and Petrel, of course, is a big breakthrough in the field of technology, but I don't see any military significance.
