Russian “thunder” exercises 2022: another nuke threat to the World?

Russian "thunder” exercises 2022: another nuke threat to the World?

“Thunder” exercises are not extraordinary in themselves, because nuclear weapons carriers (missiles) are being tested, not nuclear warheads.

On Tuesday, Russia formally notified the United States of holding the Grom-2022 Strategic Nuclear Forces exercise. Preliminary it might take place right after the end of ongoing Steadfast Noon NATO training that has started on October 17 and will end on October 30, 2022.

But the exact dates of “Thunder [Grom] – 2022” have not yet been announced, moreover, according to the agreement with the U.S., the Kremlin must warn about them in advance so that it does not look like the beginning of a nuclear attack.

This year such russia’s training already took place a few days before a large- scale invasion to Ukraine. This fall the exercises are more focused on testing intercontinental ballistic missiles, although there is a high probability of launching cruise missiles over Ukraine, the head of the Ukraine intelligence Kyrylo Budanov admits.

In particular, we are talking about launches from three underwater missile carriers, hypersonic missiles, land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, launches from strategic aircraft, as well as a test launch of the RS-28 “Sarmat”. Considering the list of forces and means, the north of the Russian Federation will be the key test area.

▪️Russia has not carried out training nuclear explosions for 32 years, so the technical condition of its nuclear arsenal causes justified concerns.

▪️In conditions of full-scale Russian aggression and regular nuclear blackmail, the Russian Federation can use training as an excuse to provoke escalation.

▪️Nuclear exercises with the use of intercontinental ballistic missiles in conditions of obvious inadequacy of the Russian leadership pose a global threat to humanity.

It worth mention, that the last nuclear tests were conducted on the eve of the collapse of the USSR in 1990. Then an underground group detonation of eight charges with a total capacity of 70 kilotons was carried out at the Nova Zemlya training ground “Object 700”. Since then, at least officially, the Russian Federation has not conducted any practical tests of nuclear charges.

A lot of fire power with the same chronic men shortage that is the basic feature of the russian army circus run by clowns.
The 144 millions Russians bleached minds citizens are already paying the war bill even before the war ends, it looks like they don't mind to live under a criminal government as they have done x 2 decades. If the Russians don't change their government more bills to pay x decades.

the Russians went to Chechnia to protect chechens in 1991 killing
100. 000 of them....then they went to Tajikistan to protect other Russians and killed 8000. In the Dombas the Russians have already killed 45000 civilians + destroyed half the cities and deported 1, 1 million including
8000 children...... Russians speaking people have to be careful before asking Russian criminal protection
because THE STANDARD FEATURES OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY ARE, torture, executions, massacres, pillage and the usual humanitarian aid of cutting water & power supply. The Russian criminal government is a disgrace to humanity and endless pain must be inflicted to it at all levels.

The Russia fire power is good x propaganda but it can not save Russian soldiers in Ukraine -- the Russians will all join in due time the long list of the 75. 000 Russians already buried in Ukraine + 12000 missing + 11000 wounded practically the 100. 000 recruits from the Siberia depressed mining town are already out of Ukraine. The new arrivals another desperate bunch of Russians lost soul will face death sooner then expected. The Russian are going to have a miserable winter as the ukranians knowing it is just a better of time until they are taken out.
The Russian army circus run by CRIMINAL CLOWNS is so desperate
that they still believe killing civilians will bring unconditional surrender... and this is why the Wagner Group instead of fighting the ukranians is just killing civilians. RUSSIANS WILL PAY X DECADES THEIR CRIMINAL DISGRACE TO HUMANITY WAR.

NEXT DENAZIFICATION MUST START with THE criminals CREMLIN residents. It is time to brake the circle of the Russian government marouding across frontiers and waging criminal wars - we must sink Russia properly until the citizens meet famine and give up war adventures.
