“The risk of a global conflict remains very high”. If these words of Wladimir Putin should not be enough to describe the level of tension between the two Russia and the Allied blockade ofUkraineMoscow played a big one today exercise that includes “A Massive Nuclear Attack” its strategic forces in response to an eventual “enemy nuclear attack”. A response to a nuclear attack, on paper, but it remains on the table the nuclear option which all parties, at least in words, are keen to avoid.
This was announced by the Moscow Defense Minister. Sergei Shoiguwhich speaks of a successful exercise, since “all missiles have reached their targets,” as stated in a press release Kremlin. The test is of strategic, but also symbolic, fundamental importance. It is no coincidence that Putin himself chose to take part after declaring his willingness to use “all available means” to repel attacks on Russian territory, with a clear reference to the country’s nuclear arsenals. The exercises included the test launch of a land-based ICBM Years from the northern launch site of Plesetsk and the launch of an ICBM Sineva by a Russian nuclear submarine Barents Sea. The strategic bombers Tu-95 They also launched cruise missiles as an exercise.
This last exercise is perhaps the highest point of tension in the nuclear crisis since the beginning of the war. Because a few days after the invasion of Ukraine, it was Putin himself who activated the nuclear deterrent system on the border of the country Volodymyr Zelenskyy, which immediately raises the question of using a nuclear device. Moscow has always denied the will to use nuclear weapons in this war, but has never ruled out the possibility of using them in response to an attack on its territory. Then there was the start of hypersonic missiles on Ukrainian territory, purely demonstrative acts, which, first of all, should send a message United States and to all other countries that have pledged economic and military support to Kiev. Finally, on the day of the exercise, Putin again complained about the attendance Troops Born in Eastern Europe: “The American military is in Romania They pose a danger to Russia,” he said. In doing so, he has shown once again that he is ready to react with all the means at his disposal.
