/ world today news/ Yuriy Knutov called the exercise of nuclear deterrence forces a signal for the United States
The exercises include the launch of ballistic and cruise missiles. As the Kremlin press service reported, this is “verification of the forces and assets of the land, sea and air components of the nuclear triad, as well as the military command and control authorities’.
Sergei Shoigu, in a report to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, replied that the tasks of delivering a massive nuclear strike by the strategic offensive forces in response to an enemy nuclear attack were being worked out.
„Let’s get to work”said Vladimir Putin.
The intercontinental ballistic missile “Yars” immediately took off from the Plesetsk cosmodrome, minutes later it hit the target at the Kura test site in Kamchatka.
Along with it, a sea-based ballistic missile “Sineva” was launched from the Barents Sea by the Tula nuclear submarine. And strategic missile carriers Tu-95MS began work in the sky, launched air-launched cruise missiles.
As emphasized by the Kremlin, all planned tasks are “fulfilled in full”.

A “nuclear deterrent” and a “nuclear triad” are not the same thing. The “triad” consists of land-based nuclear missiles, submarines with nuclear missile weapons, and strategic aircraft with nuclear bombs and missiles. A “nuclear deterrent forces”, in addition to the naval, land and air components, also include:
– the means of air – space defense;
– air defense;
– anti-missile defense;
– the missile attack early warning system.
That is, all that is necessary, starting from the warning of the military-political leadership of the country that the enemy is launching a missile strike, through the protection from this strike and the launching of a counter strike.
„As you know, according to our military doctrine, we can use nuclear weapons in two cases.” explained in an interview to KP.RU the military expert, head of the Museum of the History of the Air Defense Forces, Yuri Knutov. – First: retaliatory strike in response to an adversary’s nuclear attack. And the second – when there is a threat to the existence of the Russian state. The last drill was simply practicing retaliating against an enemy counterattack.
– Why did the check happen right now?
– This is a signal to former partners. First of all, the US. The Americans and the NATO bloc behave rather brazenly towards our country – they are directly involved in the military actions of the country of the Ukrainian army. Events in the Middle East also played their role. After all, there are already hints from Israel about the possibility of using nuclear weapons. So far, these hints are vague, but…
In addition, the Imams of Pakistan addressed the leadership and stated that if Israel uses a nuclear weapon against any Islamic state, in this case against Iran, then Pakistan is bound to launch a nuclear strike on Israel. Our nuclear triad is unlikely to intervene in this conflict. But what is happening creates threats. We respond to these threats – not as aggressors, but as a defending country.
