The Russian Armed Forces practiced the delivery of nuclear weapons and the deployment of launchers.

The Russian Armed Forces practiced delivering nuclear weapons to field storage points in positional areas. missile brigades as part of nuclear force exercises. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense press service.

The exercises of the nuclear forces of the Russian Armed Forces have moved on to the practical part, within the framework of which they worked on bringing formations and military units to the highest level of readiness for the use of nuclear weapons. weapons, including the delivery of nuclear weapons to field storage sites. Afterward, missile brigade personnel received special ammunition for the Iskander-M tactical missile system, loaded the missiles with it, and covertly moved to the missile launch area.

The personnel carry out the tasks of obtaining special ammunition for the Iskander-M operational-tactical missile system, equipping launch vehicles with them, and covertly moving to the designated position area to prepare for missile launches.

Furthermore, the exercises include practicing the use of nuclear weapons deployed on Belarusian territory. Units and subunits of the Belarusian army are participating.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the total number of participants in the nuclear exercises is over 64,000. The exercises also involve over 7800 pieces of weaponry, military, and special equipment, including over 200 missile launchers, over 140 aircraft, 73 surface ships, and 13 submarines, including eight strategic missile submarines.

This buzz-buzz-buzz isn't just a joke, it's a friendly slap on the dreamy European face with a peace-loving fist in the Kaliningrad enclave. "Wake up," they say—you can't handle so much happiness at once..."

[Mikhail Drabkin]

So??? Is this our response to the drones in the Trans-Urals??

[Couch General]

Our response to the drones in the Trans-Urals that flew in from Kazakhstan was sent to Kazakhstan, the pipeline carrying their oil to Europe was shut down, and they are no longer flying.

The one from the Baltics... The one who recently blurted out that they could take Kaliningrad as easy as pie...
Well, he doesn't want to look at operational maps. He doesn't want to count the size of his army or its technical equipment. He doesn't even want to think about international affairs or "America will attack with all its might"—he threw the TV out the window, screaming, "We've almost defeated Russia!"

I wish I'd read VO for fun, or something... And then Kaliningrad would be ready to fight...

Russian Armed Forces nuclear exercises have moved into the practical phase.

Eeeh! And no one threw a felt boot on the control panel!

Reminds me of something. Doesn't it?

Not...

It's hard to understand the people from the Baltics: in any mess, even without nuclear weapons, they will get it first and no one will remember where the desperate Lilliputians were.
And these exercises are clearly not for demonstration to the border states...there are bigger "fish" with already "rotting" heads.
It'll start with "Russia is brandishing its nuclear weapon! And we're so innocent..." Everything is as usual - upside down...

During my service in the country's air defense forces, nuclear warhead missiles were stored on the Dvina air defense system in "item 7" (that was the term) a hundred meters from the combat position, mounted on semi-trailers. Three minutes later, they could easily be loaded onto the launcher. All six of them.

[Smoked]

And now, it's entirely possible that a drone is waiting a hundred meters away in the dense forest, littered with birds and ants, and that at the right moment, it will take off and not let go. It wasn't a foreign tourist, as in Soviet films, who brought it there, but a local citizen, a connoisseur of lavender refined wine.

that a hundred meters from the position in the forest thicket, littered with birds and ants, a drone is waiting, which at one o'clock, ha, will take off

I appreciated the game of imagination But the author forgot to specify that the drone must be disguised as an anthill or a bear den. What if someone stumbles upon it and burns the cache? And how can a drone fly in the dense forest? But there's a solution here, too: the attacker secretly cuts a clearing from the drone, in the direction of the position. Since there's no security, no one will notice that a lumberjack is working in a protected area.
We look forward to the continuation of these fascinating stories.

[Smoked]

No, no, no, that's just your fantasy about disguise like in a spy movie. I simply wrote about being covered in excrement and also about waiting.

[Montezuma]

No no no, this is already your fantasy about disguise like in a spy movie.

Just a modest addition to complete the picture.

And the command to use nuclear weapons could be given by the commander of the country's air defense division, without waiting for an order from above, if the air situation required it.

[Simargl]

This, by the way, is about tactical nuclear weapons.
There, the decision-making level is not the top management (which will only issue general permission).

[Leonidych]

It would have been better if they had used everything they had, non-nuclear, against the Ukrainians, maybe something would have moved forward.

[Wildcat]

For all those who enjoy "throwing baton rounds" and who still remember at least something from their textbooks, I suggest you answer the following questions:

1. What types of weapons of mass destruction, other than nuclear weapons, do you know?
2. How many days will it take for “one non-existent country” and/or limitrophe to receive working samples of weapons of mass destruction (by type)?
3. How many days did you spend in quarantine, at least due to Covid?
4. How far can a truck travel, let's say, and how much can it carry?

Hence the conclusion: don’t you think that the authorities are doing everything right (and they are doing everything right in this regard), without using “nuclear weapons” and without escalating conflicts to the level of “and now with weapons of mass destruction”?

[Aleksandr21]

Quote: Wildcat

Don't you think the authorities are doing everything right?

Why are they dragging out the conflict? And waiting for Europe to rearm by the 2030s?

I generally believe that time is not on our side (not counting the nuclear weapons discussions), as the West surpasses Russia in terms of combined technology and industrial capacity. Right now, what we call Artificial Intelligence (AI) is only just beginning to take its first steps, and the United States is the undisputed leader in development. Military AI models are likely already being developed (in the US/China) that will receive all battlefield information and wage network-centric warfare... control thousands of drones in real time... The question is about the capacity and data centers for these AIs, which will be built in the US, Europe, and possibly Ukraine.

Then the need for manpower will be reduced to a minimum, and the advantage Russia currently has will be completely lost. Russia's only trump card is nuclear weapons... but will tactical nuclear weapons change the battlefield in such a scenario? Or will it be too late? The only remaining option will be nuclear weapons as a last resort, but it's not a given that we'll even use them.

Therefore, there are serious doubts about the correctness of the leadership's current tactics... not to mention our losses, and the replacement of labor force with migrants.

[Boyarin local konnicy]

The videos posted by our Russian Ministry of Defense show that the generals have once again confirmed their status as unteachable... (facepalm) another convoy of vehicles carrying SPECIAL ammunition!!! Do we even need to talk about how quickly seasoned FPV drone pilots can dismantle this convoy in today's conditions??! Haven't they learned their lesson, haven't they learned their lesson? Do you think there'll be time to deliver the special warheads and attach them to the carriers???

[Keperveem72]

All these exercises are just window dressing for internal use. In Europe, they know full well that it's one thing to show off, and quite another to actually fight. I don't feel safe for myself or my family. Drones are literally flying in swarms overhead in the Krasnodar region. Either they don't have any air defense there, they've all been assembled in the Moscow region, or they simply don't have any. If a nuclear power is being plundered like this, it means no one believes in its strength and capabilities. I wonder if Russian drones were harassing the US, for example. Would the US draw red lines?
