Vladimir Putin is preparing to test Russia’s nuclear-powered 9M730 Burevestnik cruise missile just hours before his meeting with Donald Trump in Alaska, according to satellite images showing heightened activity at the Novaya Zemlya test site in the Arctic. Analysts from the Middlebury Institute reported increased personnel, equipment, ships, and aircraft linked to previous tests, suggesting a launch could happen within days.
