Russia surprised the world on Wednesday by conducting a large-scale nuclear readiness drill right after the postponement of the long-awaited Trump-Putin summit. 🚀
In an impressive display of firepower, Russian forces launched:
- Yars intercontinental ballistic missiles from the Plesetsk launch site
- Sineva missiles from a submarine in the Barents Sea
- Nuclear-capable cruise missiles from Tu-95MS strategic bombers
According to Kremlin spokespeople, the operation went off without a hitch, showcasing Moscow’s strategic muscle amid rising tensions with NATO. 🤝⚔️
Experts say the timing is no accident. With the Trump-Putin summit on hold, Russia appears to be reminding the world of its nuclear deterrent, channeling Cold War vibes with a modern twist. ❄️📜
