New satellite images obtained by CNN show Russia may be preparing another test of its nuclear-powered cruise missile, known as "Skyfall"-- a controversial weapon that is designed to defeat US defense systems.
The photos, which were captured on August 16 by the commercial satellite imaging company Capella Space, offer "strong indications Russia was preparing to test a nuclear-powered cruise missile" at a known launch site located near the Arctic Circle, experts at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies Center for Nonproliferation Studies who analyzed the photos told CNN.
US officials are aware that Russia could be preparing another test of what it calls the "Burevestnik" missile as part of its advanced weapons program, according to a source briefed on the matter.
The creation of a rocket with an air-jet [turbofan? ramjet? or what?] engine with a nuclear power plant became possible as a result of successful work to create a new generation small-sized nuclear reactor.

They’ll all jump on the ‘jump on the weakling’ bandwagon. The fake president is such a c***.
Ping!!!
Doesn’t matter, our biggest threat is white rage.
A lot of things going down in an extremely fast timeline.
Pingsky.
Did Milley not foresee this also ?
We must not allow there to be a nuclear powered missile gap!!
Even if they have a conventional warhead, the nuke power plant will spread radiation when the missile hits its target there-bye making use of this weapon subject to nuke reprisals. The Russians are playing a dangerous game with this weapon.
He was busy looking for White nationalists in his own troops.
We developed one - Project Pluto.
The past is prologue. See our Project Pluto from the 50’s and 60’s.
They have finally found a use for all those leftover suitcase devices...
Skyfall was a stupid Bond movie....
.... it descended into a “Home Alone” parody at the end.....
Well that's a relief....
I looked up the Pluto Project and discovered this little gem.
"Despite these and other successful tests, the Pentagon, sponsor of the "Pluto project", had second thoughts. The weapon was considered "too provocative",[5] and it was believed that it would compel the Soviets to construct a similar device, against which there was no known defense. Intercontinental ballistic missile technology had proven to be more easily developed than previously thought, reducing the need for such highly capable cruise missiles. On July 1, 1964, seven years and six months after it was started, "Project Pluto" was canceled.[2]
So even back then we were pussy's? Imagine NOT developing a weapons system because we were AFRAID it would cause the Soviets to do the same? Does anyone believe if the Soviets had the capability to develop such a system they would not?
Scumbag Russians wouldn’t dare if Trump was in the WH.
Do you seriously believe America will retaliate against a nuclear attack? I still remember Clinton telling the world that we will absorb a first attack, to make the world a safer place.
I hope they are successful. I hope they burn Washington DC to the ground with it.
It’s just a conventional bomb with a nuclear power plant, why worry? I mean, who doesn’t love a dirty bomb?
Most Americans have no concept of what drives the paranoia of the avg Russian...

20 million dead in WWII. Entire regions wiped out.
Give it some thought....
