The Russian military has initiated a third round of drills involving tactical nuclear weapons, as part of a strategic move by the Kremlin to influence Western support for Ukraine. The exercises, announced by the Russian Defense Ministry, will see units from the central and southern military districts engaging in maneuvers with Iskander short-range missiles.
During the drills, troops will simulate the process of receiving nuclear weapons from storage facilities and deploying them to designated launch sites. Additionally, air force units will participate by arming their warplanes with nuclear weapons and conducting patrol flights as part of the exercise.
