Americans have identified the probable location of combat deployment of the Russian nuclear cruise missile Burevestnik
US researchers said they had studied satellite images and identified the likely deployment site of Russia's newest nuclear-powered cruise missile, the SSC-X-9 Skyfall, which Russian President Vladimir Putin called invincible. They found new sites near an underground nuclear warhead storage facility west of Vologda - nine launch pads under construction that are surrounded by earthen ramparts, Reuters reported.
According to American analysts, this is the future launch site (combat positions) of a “large stationary missile system” – the aforementioned global-range intercontinental cruise missile with a nuclear engine and warhead.
They are located in three groups and surrounded by high embankments to protect them from attacks or to prevent further detonation in the event of one of the missiles exploding.
– CNA expert Decker Eveleth pointed out.
The American specified that the launch pads are connected by roads to the buildings where the cruise missiles and their components will be serviced, as well as to the existing complex of five bunkers for storing nuclear warheads. Eveleth emphasized that the only such missile system currently being developed by the Russian Federation is the SSC-X-9 Skyfall (NATO code name). This cruise missile, as the Russians assure, has a virtually unlimited range and can overcome the US missile defense system.
