Russia's Crashing Cruise Missile
Arms Control Wonk
Back in March, Putin said that Russia has been testing a nuclear-powered cruise missile and showed a little bit of video footage. Throughout April and May, stories have come out questioning the success of these tests.
Jeffrey and his team at CNS have been peaking into the test site and trying to figure out what is actually going on.
Jeffrey and Aaron discuss using satellite images to geolocate the launch site and what that tells about the state of the program.
