According to foreign media reports, recently Russian Ministry of Defense issued a statement saying that it conducted a simulated nuclear missile attack exercise in Kaliningrad . During this exercise, the Russian army conducted a simulated "electron launch" of the "Iskander" ballistic missile. Since this missile can carry nuclear warhead , this exercise is also regarded as Russia's rehearsal of nuclear war .
In fact, since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, outside concerns about nuclear war have been around. Shortly after Russia launched a special military operation, President Putin and , ordered the Russian nuclear weapons forces to enter a special state of combat readiness.
Although Russia's move is just to deter Western countries and prevent them from interfering in the situation in Russia and Ukraine, and later Russia did not make any preparations for the use of nuclear weapon , it has caused many people's concerns.
Therefore, Russia's current nuclear war in Kaliningrad has also made many people feel uneasy, worried that Russia may launch a real nuclear war.
In fact, this is not the first nuclear military exercise held by Russia. Long before the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian War, Russia conducted a large-scale nuclear military exercise headed by Putin himself.
The difference between this time was that the exercise was a routine exercise by the Russian army. Although Russia also had the purpose of deterring Western countries, the war had not yet broken out at that time, so it did not cause panic. After the outbreak of the
war, the Russian army also dispatched several "doomsday fighter jets" to Siberia area to participate in large-scale exercises. The exercises at that time were also considered to be rehearsing the nuclear war , but they also did not attract a large-scale attention.
This time, the reason why this caused concern from the outside world was because of the simulated launch of the "Iskander" ballistic missile. This missile is a new type of ballistic missile developed by Russia. It can carry nuclear warheads and is powerful.
When the first test of the "Iskander" missile of the "Iskander" attracted a lot of attention. Now that Russia is conducting simulated launch of this missile, it will naturally attract attention.
In addition, the time and location of this nuclear war exercise are also very sensitive. The current negotiations between Russia and Ukraine have been stagnant for more than a month, and the battle between the two sides on the front battlefield is becoming more and more intense.
Kiev has also released tough signals many times, and even threatened to launch a counterattack in two months, which has led to the increasingly dangerous situation in Ukraine.
At the same time, although Kaliningrad is a territory of Russia, the region is not connected to the Russian mainland, but is located along the Baltic coast, and borders Polish and Lithuanian . It is a veritable enclave.
You should know that as the Russian-Ukrainian war becomes more and more intense, Poland and Baltic countries support Ukraine , resulting in the situation in the Baltic region becoming more and more dangerous.
And the two Nordic countries along the Baltic Sea coast - Sweden and Finland also claimed to join NATO , further exacerbating tensions in the Baltic region.
Therefore, the Baltic region is currently brewing a bigger crisis. If you are not careful, it may trigger a larger war in the region.
Russia has long reminded Finland and Sweden that if they join NATO, Russia will consider deploying nuclear weapons in Kaliningrad, and the situation in the Baltic region will inevitably become more dangerous.
But these two countries obviously did not take Russia's warning to heart. Finland even determined the specific time to apply to join NATO and participated in NATO's joint exercise.
Therefore, at such a sensitive moment, Russia previewed the nuclear war in Kaliningrad, which was obviously Putin's ultimate warning to the Baltic coast countries.
Previously, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov had issued a warning, saying that the risk of nuclear war cannot be underestimated, nor the risk of the outbreak of World War III.
Although Russia has not actually prepared for nuclear war except for issuing a "nuclear warning", the current situation in Russia and Ukraine is becoming increasingly tense, and the United States and its allies are still provoking. No one can guarantee that the Russian-Ukraine war will not develop into a larger war. I hope that all countries can maintain calmness and restraint and reduce the risk of nuclear war. Otherwise, the entire mankind will ultimately pay for the nuclear war.
