Conflicts

The Russian Defense Service proclaims: Moscow will continue to emphasize nuclear weapons in its national strategy while building new delivery systems and modernizing its nuclear weapons stockpile.

According to Russian Rear Admiral Andrei Sinitsyn, the Novaya Zemlya site in the far north of Russia is ready to resume large-scale testing activities, the laboratory and test facilities are ready, the center's personnel are ready.

The Russians need to restore their nuclear deterrent legitimacy, but according to experts, the Russians have fallen far behind in developing powerful simulation tools that allow them to maintain the nuclear bombs they possess. They stopped in the late 1990s and are determined to catch up.

Faced with threats from the West, Vladimir Putin wants to expand the conditions for using his atomic arsenal.
