David was all over that Burevestnik test.
Vessels appear to be beginning their migration from Matochkin Shar, northwards to monitoring positions, either side of the north island.

Current Burevestnik related NOTAMs cover out to 22 OCT.

Time to butcher some Hue-compatible smart Zigbee lighting (and hopefully learn something along the way).

It is September 1939.
A hostile, aggressive, imperialistic foreign power has violated the borders of Poland with wanton disregard for international norms and practices. Europe, in the midst of an arms buildup, feels incapable of standing up to the aggressor.

Today near Pankovo, Novaya Zemlya. All vessels active off the west coast.

Very uncertain, but possibly two helicopters visible about 40km northwest of the launchpad, about 1.7km apart, outside sovereign airspace. What do you think @m1k3d3l7a.bsky.social?

Finally, I'd like to thank Rosatom for organising peak Burevestnik activity around my two weeks off from work.

I think it is time to get a new hobby. 🫡

About a month ago, while looking through Russian NOTAMs, I stumbled across this location on Google Earth, north of St. Petersburg: 60.352N 30.772E. It was largely constructed between 2022-2023 and while I can't offer a definite assessment, it looks like a missile test facility.

I stumbled across this location in Demyansk, Russia, around 57.68N 32.52E; it's covered by a low level (SFC-1450m) daily airspace closure between 0600-1900.

This was a civilian airstrip that had been abandoned, but appears to have been undergoing some significant work between 2023-2024.
