Russia appears to be preparing to test its new nuclear-armed, nuclear-powered Burevestnik cruise missile. Photos show extensive activity at the Pankovo test site on the Barents Sea archipelago of Novaya Zemlya. Prep began long before Friday’s Alaska summit was announced. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-appears-ready-test-new-missile-he-prepares-trump-talks-researchers-say-2025-08-13/

As Russia struggles to get this experimental missile to work, the U.S. test-launched its 2nd unarmed Minuteman III ICBM of the year in May 2025. The missile flew 15,000 mph from Vandenberg Space Force Base, CA, and hit a designated target area in the Marshall Islands, more than 4,200 miles away. https://www.airandspaceforces.com/air-force-conducts-test-launch-of-minuteman-iii-icbm/
