On Cam: Putin Directs Nuclear Drills | Watch Russian Tu-95MS Bomber, Sub & Yars Missile In Action

Russian President Vladimir Putin personally oversaw large-scale drills of Russia’s strategic nuclear forces on Wednesday, testing missiles from land, sea, and air as tensions over Ukraine continue. The exercises included the launch of a Yars intercontinental ballistic missile from Plesetsk, a Sineva ICBM fired from a submarine in the Barents Sea, and long-range cruise missile strikes by Tu-95 strategic bombers. The Kremlin said the manoeuvres evaluated military command readiness and procedures for authorising nuclear strikes. The drills came hours after U.S. President Donald Trump announced that his planned summit with Putin in Budapest was put on hold, citing a desire not to waste time. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov emphasised that the meeting requires thorough preparation, highlighting the cautious diplomacy behind the scenes. The exercises underline Moscow’s continued focus on nuclear readiness amid ongoing conflict in Ukraine and growing geopolitical tensions with the United States.
