OSINT researchers found in the Russian Federation a place for probable launch of rockets with a nuclear reactor (photo)

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation boasted that it has created a rocket that can fly an order of magnitude further than the winged rocket X-101. American researchers have established the coordinates of the landfill from where they can be launched and concerned about the threat of radioactive emissions. The Russians can accommodate "Burevestnik" missiles with nuclear engines 800 km from Ukraine.

Satellite photos show nine launchers, five nuclear repositories and roads that connect them. Reuters told about the details of the Russian Vologda-20 facility. Journalists reported that two researchers from the United States, Decker Eveleth and Jeffrey Lewis, have identified a possible place where Russia could install launchers for a 9M730 nuclear engine. To do this, they carefully studied the satellite photos of the nuclear storage of the Russian Federation.

Particular attention was paid by a point, located 70 km west of Vologda and 366 km north of Moscow. In the post on the social network X (Twitter), Everet stated that it was a "Vologda-20" object. The analyst posted a photo of the object taken on July 26, 2024. The photo shows five sites, connected by roads, shots from the satellite. Google Maps shows that the Vologda-20 object has coordinates 59. 10108, 38. 60761 and is located near Korzhavino village. The estimated distance to Ukraine is about 800 km.

The Evelet was looked at the high resolution image and stated that he saw on the sites "Nuclear warheads and missiles". According to his estimates, Russians build a "high readiness system". He also noticed nine launchers divided into three groups. Each group is surrounded by walls to protect adjacent charges from false detonation. The roads that connect these sites are required for charging and maintenance. Nearby - five repositories for nuclear charges.

He stressed that today the technical characteristics of the rocket engine, which Putin called "invincible" and one that would reach anywhere on the globe. Of particular concern is whether she is capable of reaching the target, wrote an analyst in X. "This place is intended for a large stationary rocket system, and the only large stationary rocket system that the Russians are now being developed," the journalists of the Evelet's conclusions.

It should be noted that in October 2023, The New York Times spoke about some features of the latest Russian rocket. According to reporters collected from open sources, the 9M730 rocket "Burevestnik" (or by NATO classification SSC-X-9 SkyFall) has a nuclear engine. The engine is a nuclear reactor capable of accelerating it to supersonic velocity: it heats air to create jet thrust. The warhead can be both nuclear and non -nuclear.

The physical dimensions of the rocket-length at the time of 12 m, during the flight-9 m, the nasal part has the shape of an ellipse 1 m by 1. 5 m. X-101-5 500 km). The International Institute for Strategic Research, Ciguled by Reuter, indicates a range of 20 thousand km. Satellite photos showed that launchers for trial launches were noticed in the Arctic.

According to experts, the rocket is able to destroy areas in cities and is intended for a "second strategic range" (ie after the first wave of nuclear bombs). It is known about 13 tested launches of "storm", which ended unsuccessfully and were accompanied by the death of people and radiation emissions, the American publication wrote. Military expert Vladislav Seleznyov evaluated whether the latest rocket of the Russian Federation threatens Ukraine.
