Russia may be ready to test a nuclear-powered missile , satellite images of a remote Moscow base published by the New York Times show.
The authoritative US newspaper writes that the movements of planes and vehicles inside and near the base are similar to those carried out for the tests of two missiles in 2017 and 2018.
In the last two weeks, US surveillance planes have also been spotted in the area and alerts have been detected warning pilots to avoid nearby airspace.
In recent days, Russian President Vladimir Putin had confirmed his intention to increase defense spending to 6% of GDP , explaining that workers in the Russian nuclear sector are "introducing cutting-edge technologies in the energy and space sectors". and «in the creation of advanced weapons capable of maintaining the strategic balance in the world», with clear reference to atomic weapons.
