Russia Conducts Military Drills with Dummy Nuclear Warheads
In a display of military capability, Russia has conducted drills involving the launch of dummy nuclear warheads. The 12 Main Directorate, a typically secretive division, has publicly stated that these exercises will undergo detailed analysis.
The drills come at a time of heightened tensions with Ukraine, showcasing President Vladimir Putin’s readiness to demonstrate Russia’s defense prowess. The use of dummy warheads in the drills serves as a reminder of Russia’s nuclear capabilities without crossing the line into actual deployment. This strategic move by Putin aims to reinforce Russia’s stance on the global stage while maintaining a veil of diplomatic restraint.
