They believe that photos show significant activity at the Pankovo landfill on the new land in the Barents Sea. The grounds for suspicion are to increase the number of personnel, equipment, ships and aircraft related to preliminary tests of the 9M730 rocket “Petrel”.
Lewis said the test could take place this week. It was probably planned before the meeting of Trump and Putin.
The Western source of the Reuters in the security field confirmed that Moscow is preparing a “brownish” test.
Norwegian military said Reuters that the Barents Sea is a “main place for Russian rocket trials” and that in reports and marine warnings they noticed the signs of “preparation for testing”.
According to Lewis, Evelet and two weapons control experts, the development of a rocket became more important for Moscow after Trump announced in January about the development of the American Anti -Prace Program “Golden Dome”.
Putin stated that NATO’s weapons called SSC-X-9 SkyFall is allegedly “insurmountable” for modern and future missile defense systems, has almost unlimited range and unpredictable flight trajectory.
Reuters writes that the “storm” has poor test results, only two of the 13 known trials were partially successful.
