In the crisis around Ukraine, they now reminded of the nuclear forces of Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian forces to contain the deterioration for special duty. This demonstrative action for the information of NATO countries took place on Sunday during a meeting with the Minister of Defense Sergey Shoigu and the head of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov.

In the memory of veterans we have interviewed, such a case was only once - at the time of the operation to join the Crimea, President Putin himself told the Air Force about this. In Soviet times, this happened twice in 1962 and 1983. However, confirmations from other sources that the forces of nuclear deterrence have not yet been converted into a special regime in the spring of 2014.

Putin approved the foundations of stateliness in the field of nuclear deterrence in June 2020. According to this decree, all key decisions, including the transfer of deterrence forces into a special regime, he personally accepts. There are several reasons why such a regime is introduced, and all of them are associated with the preparation of other countries for the use of nuclear weapons against our country.

However, there is such a condition for the transition to a special regime, which corresponds to the current situation in Ukraine, after the start of the special operation of the RF Armed Forces there:

“The deployment by states that consider the Russian Federation as a potential enemy, systems and missile defense systems, winged and ballistic missiles of medium and smaller range, high -precision non -nuclear and hypersonic weapons, shock unmanned aerial vehicles, weapons of directed energy” - the Russian president spoke about such steps repeatedly.

In the language of military intelligence, the transfer of strategic nuclear forces (amends) to a special regime is carried out when opening the enemy’s events to prepare his nuclear forces, and it is impossible to prevent a crisis in another way. The threat of defeating the troops of the troops key to the country's defense can also lead to a response threat to the use of nuclear weapons by Russia. In these cases, we are talking about the likely strike by tactical nuclear weapons.

It is still unknown how the US aircraft carrier shock groups behave (and whether they behave somehow), whether strategic bombers were relocated to the airfields of England and Italy, from where they usually flew to Iraq. Also, there was no information about some threat hanging over the grouping of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine.

Most likely, the translation of the stud to a special regime is a preventive measure to NATO countries, a public warning against participation in hostilities on the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Moreover, according to the authoritative specialists in strategic weapons, the Russian deterrence forces that we have interviewed are always in a state of full readiness. Without any ads about this.
