counterattack has begun. Putin carries " nuclear suitcase " and personally sits at the National Command Center! The Russian army tested 7 strategic killer weapons at the same time. On February 19, Russian President Putin personally entered the Russian Federation's National Command Center and launched the "Thunder-2022" strategic deterrence exercise. Putin also invited the leader of Belarusian , Lukashenko, to watch the exercise at the Moscow command center.
Russia's exercise is to test the preparations for various military command departments, combat formations, ship units and missile carrier devices, and to test the reliability of Russian strategic nuclear weapons and non- nuclear weapons . The exercise involved the Russian Aerospace Forces, the Southern Military Region, the Strategic Missile Forces, the Northern Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet and other troops.
At a time when the situation in Russia and Ukraine is in extreme tension, Russia has launched a large-scale strategic deterrence exercise and tested a number of advanced missiles to sound the alarm for the United States and show its will to dare to draw its sword and fight to the decisive battle. Kremlin also publicly mentioned Putin's "nuclear suitcase". It is emphasized that Russia's strategic counterattack has never been relaxed.
From the real-time video footage released by Russian Ministry of Defense , the Russian army tested at least 7 strategic strike weapons from different war zones on February 19, all of which were the main killers. Including Yars intercontinental ballistic missile, "Blue Sky" submarine-launched strategic missile, X-555 air-launched cruise missile, 9M728 land-based cruise missile, X-47M2 "Daughter" hypersonic missile, 3M14T "caliber" cruise missile and 3M22 "Zircon" hypersonic anti-ship missile.
Russian strategic rocket (missile) troops launched a 11,000-kilometer intercontinental ballistic missile from the Pleshetsk National Space Test Site, accurately hitting the Kula shooting range located in Kamchatka Peninsula .
Russian missile forces are different from China. China's ballistic missiles and cruise missile are almost all centrally controlled by the Rocket Force. Russia's tactical ballistic missiles and land-based cruise missiles are controlled by the Army, and the long-range intercontinental nuclear missile is controlled by the Strategic Rocket Force. The Strategic Rocket Force has four missile armies, a total of 11 strategic missile divisions (regiments), an anti-missile defense army, a missile attack warning system and a space surveillance and defense system army. It is equipped with more than 400 various models of intercontinental ballistic missiles .
The 667BDRM (Delta IV) ballistic missile nuclear submarine "Karella" of the Russian Navy's Northern Fleet participated in the exercise and fired an R-29RMU2 "Blue Sky" submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missile at the Kula range in the waters of the Barents Sea.
667BDRM delta-IV strategic nuclear submarine is the third generation strategic nuclear submarine developed during the Soviet period. The delta-class nuclear submarine is the most built by the Soviet Union. It is divided into four generations I, II, III, and IV. Among them, the IV type began to be put into service in 1985, and a total of 7 ships have been built. It is still the main force of the Russian Navy submarine-launched nuclear counterattack force.
Delta-IV boat is equipped with 16 PCM-54 "Qingzhou" submarine-launched intercontinental missiles, using a three-stage liquid-storable rocket engine, weighing 40 tons, and a maximum range of 8,300 kilometers. Now the Delta-IV's missile has been updated to the R-29RM "Blue Sky" submarine-launched missile.
A Tu-95MS strategic bomber of the Russian Aerospace Forces launched the X-555 air-launched cruise missile, accurately hitting the targets located at the Pemboy and Kura ranges. The X-555 is a nuclear and conventional dual-purpose cruise missile. It was successful in its first live-fire shooting in 2001 and was equipped with the troops in 2013.
X-555 air-launched cruise missile is modified from the old X-55 cruise missile . Two sets of streamlined abandonable conformal fuel tanks are installed on the lower sides of the bullet body, which increases stealth capability and increases the range from 2500 kilometers to more than 3000 kilometers. It adopts prefabricated digital map terrain matching medium guidance, and a GLONASS satellite assisted navigation system can be installed. Due to the improvement of optical final guidance, the strike accuracy is optimized to within 20 meters of CEP.
"nuclear suitcase" used by Russian President Putin.
The missile brigade of the Russian Army uses the "Iskander M" missile system that can jointly launch ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, and launched the 9M728 land-based cruise missile from Kapustinyar shooting range in the Astrakhan area. The MiG-31I fighter of the Russian Aerospace Forces launched an X-47M2 "Dagger" air-launched hypersonic missile. The 21631 "Mob M" small missile ship of the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet launched the 3M14T "caliber" land-attack cruise missile.
Russian Northern Fleet's 22350 missile frigate launched the 3M22 "Zircon" hypersonic anti-ship missile. The 3M22 "Zircon" is a new generation of hypersonic cruise missile developed by Russia. It is a carrier-based hypersonic cruise missile that uses the scramjet engine . It has a range of 400 to 1,000 kilometers and can fly at a speed of Mach 6 to Mach 8. The missile can strike ground targets and maritime targets and is expected to be put into use in 2023. It is generally believed that the existing ship-based defense system is almost impossible to intercept anti-ship missile with Mach 5 or more.
As of the end of 2021, Russia has a total of 517 intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles and heavy bomber airborne ballistic missiles. The number of with nuclear warheads is 1456. Among them, the Russian strategic rocket corps has four missile armies, a total of 11 strategic missile divisions (regiments), and is equipped with 400 ballistic missiles of various types.
budget investment has declined year by year, and military expenditure is less than a fraction of the United States, with only more than $50 billion in fiscal capacity. In 2020 alone, Russia invested US$22 billion in the field of strategic nuclear weapons, accounting for more than 45% of military expenditure.
As President Putin said, Russia has spent its limited military expenditure on the edge and has made every effort to tilt its strategic equipment field. When conventional military forces cannot compete with the United States, nuclear deterrence and the modernization of nuclear arsenals have become important means for Russia to maintain a strategic balance with the United States. In terms of nuclear policy, Russia still maintains a policy of nuclear counterattack without hesitation. When a country is attacked, at the moment of life and death, Russia will use nuclear weapons without hesitation. Whoever dares to invade will destroy it.
