Russia carried out drills using nuclear-capable missiles, defence ministry says

Simulated missile launches took place in enclave of Kaliningrad on Wednesday

Troops rehearsed firing the missiles before moving their vehicles to avoid getting struck back, though no actual rockets were launched

Comes amid fears Putin could unleash nukes as Ukraine war goes against him

Russia[i][/i] has carried out simulated launches of nuclear-capable missiles from an enclave of territory in mainland Europe, amid growing fears Putin could press the button as the war in Ukraine goes against him.


War games currently taking place in Kaliningrad - a chunk of Russian territory sandwiched between Poland and Lithuania on the Baltic Sea - involved 'electronic launches' of Iskander ballistic missiles, Moscow's defence ministry said.

Iskander crews practised hitting targets including enemy missile systems, airfields, infrastructure and military command posts, the ministry added, before manoeuvering to avoid a retaliatory strike.

The drills did not involve any actual missiles being fired. - ”NATO” playing war games with bows and arrows, big boys are playing war games with “NUCLEAR” , there are levels to these, I hope dem Dey get the message clearly, if una cross the redline una go collect wotowoto, our armies ain’t playing hide and seek in the bush, dem Dey train to bring hell down to West. -OP


The Iskander is a short-range ballistic missile developed by Russia that went into service in 2006 to replace the Soviet-era Scud and Tochka rockets.


Iskanders are the workhorse of Russia's missile forces and can perform a wide variety of roles depending on the warhead they are fitted with.

Warheads include thermobaric, cluster, armour piercing, bunker-busters, and electromagnetic for taking out radar systems.

But the most eye-catching of the Iskander's warheads is a nuclear charge, thought to be around four times as powerful as the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. - Make una pay attention to this part wella, no bluffing- OP

The missiles have a range of up to 300 miles and are most-commonly carried by road-mobile launch vehicles, which makes the missiles much harder to find and destroy.

Iskander missiles are known to be stationed in Kaliningrad - Russia's central European enclave - and, since the start of the war in Ukraine, in Belarus.

Fired from these positions, Iskanders are capable of ranging the Baltic states - Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania - as well as most of Poland, Ukraine, Moldova, and even parts of southern Sweden.
