FULL NUCLEAR MOBILIZATION: Russia Tests Every Leg Of Its Triad In Single 24-Hour Window

MOSCOW/BRUSSELS/WASHINGTON — Russia has conducted its largest coordinated nuclear readiness exercise in decades, mobilizing 64,000 military personnel, 73 surface warships, 13 submarines — including eight ballistic missile carriers — and activating all three legs of its strategic nuclear triad simultaneously across land, air, and sea. The drill, which Russian state media broadcast in full, included rare footage of allied Belarusian crews extracting tactical nuclear munitions from field storage and mating warheads to Iskander-M short-range ballistic missile systems positioned within 500 kilometers of NATO's eastern border. Long-range Tu-95MS bombers were scrambled alongside MiG-31 interceptors armed with Kinzhal hypersonic missiles capable of Mach 10 speeds and a 2,000-kilometer strike range. Thirteen submarines, armed with Bulava SLBMs carrying an 8,000-kilometer range, simultaneously departed Northern and Pacific Fleet bases. Western defense officials and NATO command are monitoring the exercise closely. The Kremlin has not issued a formal statement beyond confirming the drill was a test of strategic deterrence readiness. #russia, #nuclear, #nato, #russiaukrainewar, #breakingnews, #hypersonicmissile, #kinzhal, #iskander, #belarus, #russianmilitary, #nucleartriad, #worldwar3, #geopolitics, #submarines, #icbm, #militarynews, #russiavsnato, #warnews, #putinnuclear, #globalsecurity Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: 🌐 Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world 📱 Instagram:   / timesnow.world   🐦 Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
