Under the influence of the war in Ukraine, relations between Russia and NATO led by the United States have been highly tense. The latest reports show that in order to cope with the upcoming NATO nuclear force strategic exercise, Russia took the lead in organizing a nuclear force exercise. President Putin also personally commanded last week. Russian military strategic missiles fired at the same time on land, sea and air, which attracted widespread attention in the international community.
On the evening of October 22, the Russian satellite news network that the Russian military strategic nuclear missile force exercises were held under the personal command of President Putin. News from the Kremlin website also confirmed that "under the command of the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, the Russian military held military, naval and air force strategic nuclear force exercises", during which intercontinental ballistic missiles and air-based cruise missiles were launched.
During the exercises, the Russian Army launched an intercontinental ballistic missile "Ars" with a range of approximately 11,500 kilometers from the Plesetsk space launch site to the Kurra target on the Canadian peninsula; a strategic missile nuclear submarine "Briansk" located in the Balentine Sea also launched a "Pluto" ballistic missile. At the same time, the Russian Army's Map-95MS strategic bomber also participated in the exercises and conducted the test of air-based cruise missiles.
This time, Putin ordered the Russian army's land, sea and air strategic nuclear bomb force to launch missiles. In addition to the sensitive timing, the location is also very sensitive. The report revealed that the Russian army's "Yars" intercontinental ballistic missile was carried out at the Bilyusetskaya space base near the Arctic Circle.
A week ago, NATO's nuclear force had just begun its annual training-with nearly 2000 personnel and 71 aircraft from 14 countries participating in it, taking place at military bases in the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom and Denmark and flying over the North Sea. The Russian military's organization of strategic nuclear forces to launch missiles at this time and here is undoubtedly a head-on confrontation with NATO, which has aroused concerns among Kiev, European countries and NATO. Especially in the United States, immediate results have been achieved.
Earlier, the Pentagon announced to the outside world that the United States has allowed Ukraine to use systems such as ATACMS and Storm Shadow to attack deep targets in Russia, which may enhance Ukraine's defense capabilities. However, after Putin ordered Russia to launch strategic missiles by land, sea and air, the attitude of the United States immediately changed. On October 22, the Avia website reported that Trump's announcement to lift restrictions on the use of long-range rockets in Ukraine was "false news." At the same time, Trump also stated that aid to Ukraine's Tomahawk cruise missiles is currently not allowed.
It seems that the Western countries, led by the United States, have felt strong pressure from the Russian military's launch of strategic missiles!
