(Mikhail Metzel\/Sputnik, Kremlin Pool Photo via AP)\n<\/div><span>Expand<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<h4>Drills involve wide array of nuclear weapons<\/h4>\n<p>Russia\u2019s Defense Ministry said the exercise involved 64,000 troops, over 200 missile launchers, more than 140 aircraft, 73 surface warships and 13 submarines, including eight armed with nuclear-tipped ICBMs. The drills focused on the \u201cpreparation and use of nuclear forces under the threat of aggression,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p>The maneuvers also practice cooperation with Belarus, an ally that hosts Russian nuclear weapons. Russian arsenals in Belarus include its latest intermediate range nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile system.<\/p>\n<p>Along with nuclear-tipped ground- and submarine-launched ICBMs, the maneuvers featured a broad assortment of short- and medium-range weapons.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Unlike the intercontinental missiles that can destroy entire cities, tactical nuclear weapons intended for use against troops on the battlefield are less powerful. They include aerial bombs and warheads for short- and medium-range missiles and artillery munitions.<\/p>\n<p>The Defense Ministry said the Russian armed forces test-fired Yars and Sineva ICBMs, as well as medium-range sea-launched Zircon and air-launched Kinzhal missiles, noting that all missiles hit their designated practice targets. Belarusian troops test-fired a short-range Iskander ballistic missile inside Russia.<\/p>\n<h4>Kremlin nuclear messaging<\/h4>\n<p>Putin has repeatedly reminded the world about Moscow\u2019s nuclear arsenals after sending troops into Ukraine in February 2022 to try to deter the West from ramping up support for Kyiv.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=8502\">Lawmakers warn data protection rules don\u2019t protect key sites, including White House and CIA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In 2024, the Kremlin adopted a revised nuclear doctrine, noting that any nation\u2019s conventional attack on Russia that is supported by a nuclear power will be considered a joint attack on his country. That threat was clearly aimed at discouraging the West from allowing Ukraine to strike Russia with longer-range weapons and appears to significantly lower the threshold for the possible use of Moscow\u2019s nuclear arsenal.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The revised doctrine also placed Belarus under the Russian nuclear umbrella. Putin has said that Moscow will retain control of its nuclear weapons deployed in Belarus, which borders Ukraine and NATO members Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, but would allow its ally to select the targets in case of conflict.<\/p>\n<h4>Drills come as Ukrainian drones spotted in the Baltics<\/h4>\n<p>The maneuvers are held amid an increase in drone activity in the Baltic nations. On Tuesday, a NATO jet shot down a Ukrainian drone over southern Estonia. Ukraine apologized for that \u201cunintended incident,\u201d without specifying what had happened.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, an emergency announcement about a drone flying over Belarus prompted residents of the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius, including top officials and lawmakers, to take shelter and led to a brief closure of its airport.<\/p>\n<p>Ukrainian drones targeting Russia\u2019s Baltic ports and energy facilities have recently crossed or come down in NATO territory on several occasions. Western officials blame apparent Russian electronic jamming of the drones.<\/p>\n<p>Russia\u2019s Foreign Intelligence Service said Tuesday, without providing evidence, that Ukraine is preparing drone attacks against Russia from the territory of the Baltic countries and warned of retaliation It alleged Ukrainian military personnel had been deployed to Latvia and warned that the country\u2019s membership in NATO wouldn\u2019t protect it from \u201cjust retribution.\u201d Latvian authorities said the allegation was not true.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, the Russian Defense Ministry published a list of factories in Europe that it said were involved in producing drones and their components for Ukraine. It warned that attacks on Russia involving drones manufactured in Europe are fraught with \u201cunpredictable consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some commentators interpreted the bellicose statements from Moscow and this week\u2019s exercise featuring short- and medium-range nuclear weapons capable of reaching targets in Europe as part of Kremlin efforts to discourage Western allies from bolstering support for Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Asked what message the nuclear exercise was intended to send, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded that \u201cany drills are intended to send a signal,\u201d but wouldn\u2019t elaborate.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=8500\">New York City residents will get a chance to purchase $50 World Cup tickets<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russia&#8217;s nuclear drills that began Tuesday come amid a surge in Ukrainian drone strikes.
