Russia conducts nuclear strike rehearsal as it revokes nuclear test ban treaty

러, CTBT 비준 철회한 날 핵훈련 탄도•순항 미사일 발사 Russia’s military has conducted a drill simulating a nuclear strike on the day its parliament revoked the ratification of a global nuclear test ban. The Kremlin said on Wednesday that Russia has successfully tested its ability to deliver a massive retaliatory nuclear strike by land, sea and air. It added that the drill was overseen by President Vladimir Putin and involved “practical launches of ballistic and cruise missiles“. State TV showed Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu calling the drill a rehearsal for “a massive nuclear strike“ in response to an enemy’s nuclear attack. The training comes as Russia’s upper house voted on Wednesday to de-ratify the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. That decision will now be sent to Putin for final approval. Putin has said de-ratification would “mirror” the stance of the U.S., which signed but did not ratify the nuclear test ban. #Russia #CTBT #nuclear_test_ban #nuclearweapons #nuclearmissile #comprehensive_test_ban_treaty #Kremlin #Vladimir_Putin #security #Sergei_Shoigu #러시아 #포괄적_핵실험_금지_조약 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook : 📣 Twitter : 📣 Homepage : 2023-10-26, 09:00 (KST)
