Moscow’s Defense Ministry has announced plans to conduct a military exercise simulating the use of tactical nuclear weapons in response to what it calls “provocative threats” from senior Western officials. The move comes just days after the Kremlin reacted angrily to comments made by Western leaders regarding the ongoing war in Ukraine.
The drills, ordered by President Vladimir Putin, are intended to increase the readiness of non-strategic nuclear forces to fulfill combat tasks. This marks the first time that Russia has publicly announced drills involving tactical nuclear weapons, with the exercise set to involve missile units from the Southern Military District, as well as the country’s air force and navy.
Tactical nuclear weapons differ from traditional massive warheads in that they have a lower yield and are meant for battlefield use, such as air bombs, short-range missile warheads, and artillery munitions. Russia, which boasts the world’s largest nuclear arsenal inherited from the Soviet Union, has previously threatened to use its nukes against adversaries, marking a significant escalation in tensions.
The announcement is seen as a warning to Ukraine’s Western allies about getting more deeply involved in the conflict, with some leaders expressing concerns about the war potentially escalating into a NATO-Russia conflict. The war in Ukraine has already strained relations between Moscow and the West, with the latest move by Russia likely to further heighten tensions.
