Putin is rushing through the testing of his deadly “mystery hypersonic nuclear missile” with an UNLIMITED range, according to chilling new satellite images. The Burevestnik nuclear-powered cruise missile, dubbed a “flying Chernobyl” by experts, was reportedly spotted this month at a testing site in a remote area of northern Russia.

This month, an expert discovered images reportedly showing the fearsome missiles being prepared at the remote former Soviet nuclear testing range at Novaya Zemlya, way up in the Arctic Circle. Based on the pictures, the Burevestnik missile’s transport tank has recently been moved in front of the launch rails at the infamous Pankovo site.

Support ships have also been scrambled to the site, including the enormous nuclear-powered cargo ship Sevmorput. Military analyst Tony Roper, who has spent years studying satellite images from Novaya Zemlya obtained new pictures last weekend, which he shared on his personal website.

“It is definitely Burevestnik,” he told The Barents Observer. The images, taken from a space image snapped by Airbus on September 16, purportedly show that Burevestnik has been prepped for launch at the Pankovo base.

A canister, similar to one previously seen in a video published by Russia’s Defence Ministry can be seen next to the rails on a launch pad covered by a retractable shelter. Other smaller infrastructure improvements appear to have been put in place around the base over the summer as the war in Ukraine has raged on.
