The above depicts the exact same flight restrictions and nearly the same flight ban coordinates used when Delta IV SSBN "Bryansk" launched a single SS-N-23 Skiff SLBM from the Barents Sea on October 30, 2014, which suggests this, too, will be used for an SS-N-23 launch.

The last SS-N-23 launch event occurred on May 8, 2014, when Delta IV SSBN "Tula" launched a single missile from the Barents Sea.
