00:00 Russia has proclaimed the successful execution of a substantial test showcasing its capability
00:15 to deliver a massive retaliatory nuclear strike via land, sea and air.
00:21 This display of force coincides with Moscow's decision to withdraw from a landmark nuclear
00:25 test ban treaty.
00:27 The exercise involved launching missiles from various platforms including land-based silos,
00:32 a nuclear submarine and long-range bomber aircraft.
00:36 A geopolitical context is crucial as Russia is embroiled in a tense standoff with the
00:40 West over Ukraine.
00:43 The Kremlin statement highlighted practical launches of ballistic and cruise missiles
00:46 during the training.
00:48 The event described as a rehearsal for a massive nuclear strike aimed to demonstrate Russia's
00:53 preparedness to respond to a nuclear attack.
00:55 The test involved a Yars intercontinental ballistic missile launched from a test site,
01:00 a nuclear-powered submarine launching a ballistic missile from the Barents Sea and Tu-95MS long-range
01:06 bombers test-firing air-launched cruise missiles.
01:09 The exercise also assessed the readiness of military command authorities and the skills
01:13 of senior and operational staff in organizing subordinate troops.
01:17 The Kremlin asserted that the planned tasks were fully accomplished.
01:21 Such nuclear drills are not unusual as both Russia and the United States regularly conduct
01:26 similar exercises to evaluate their respective nuclear triads.
01:31 While Russia is de-ratifying the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, it has signaled that it won't
01:35 abandon the 1992 moratorium on nuclear test blasts in line with the CDBT.
01:41 Moscow's withdrawal from the CDBT is primarily to mirror the US which signed but never ratified
01:47 the treaty.
01:48 Russia has clarified that it would only resume nuclear testing if the US took such a step
01:53 first indicating a strategic move rather than an immediate intention to conduct tests.
02:00 This demonstration of nuclear capabilities underscores the geopolitical tensions and
02:04 strategic posturing between Russia and the West raising concerns about the stability
02:09 of global security dynamics.
