A warning has been issued by one of Putin's allies, stating that the clock is ticking towards a potential nuclear war. This comes as a convoy of nuclear missile launchers was spotted on its way to Moscow. The video footage captured the moment these intimidating and powerful Yars missile launchers, painted in a dark green color, were being transported over 250 miles to the capital city. The timing of this convoy is especially significant, as it was seen more than two months before Russia's annual Victory Day parade, which takes place in Red Square.
The Yars intercontinental ballistic missiles have a remarkable speed of 17,500 miles per hour, which is 25 times faster than the speed of sound. These mobile missiles are a common sight during Russia's celebration of its victory over Nazi Germany in World War II. The convoy, proudly displaying Russian flags, is just the latest display of Russia's nuclear might. This show of force is believed to be a way for 71-year-old Vladimir Putin to taunt the Western world, particularly in light of the ongoing military conflict with Ukraine, which began with Russia's invasion two years ago.
Last year, during the Victory Day parade, a Yars missile system was seen driving through Red Square, and more recently, a Yars missile was launched from the Plesetsk cosmodrome in a military training exercise. As the Yars missile launchers made their journey to Moscow, Russian troops stood beside them, showcasing the country's military prowess. This display of military might is not limited to land, as just a day before the convoy was spotted, Putin himself flew a Tu-160M strategic bomber, which is a key component of Russia's nuclear triad.
The Yars missiles are currently the main ground-based weapons in Russia's strategic nuclear force, with a range of up to 7,500 miles. This range means that countries like the UK and the USA could potentially be targeted, as was hinted by Dmitry Medvedev, a former president and prime minister of Russia, who is now the deputy chairman of the country's security council. Medvedev recently stated that Russia could potentially bomb cities like London, Washington, Berlin, and even Kyiv, if their forces were pushed back in Ukraine.
He went on to say that this threat of nuclear war is a very real possibility and should not be taken lightly. Medvedev also expressed concern about potential accidents that could lead to a nuclear conflict, as no one is immune to such disasters. These statements from a high-ranking Russian official serve as a warning to the world to take the ongoing conflict in Ukraine seriously and to avoid any further escalation.
The tensions between Russia and Ukraine have been ongoing for years, and Putin has been using the threat of nuclear war to his advantage. Since the ground invasion of Ukraine in July 2022, Putin has made 35 threats of nuclear war, causing concern among the international community. The United States has even warned that Putin may attempt to launch a nuclear weapon into space this year.
This aggressive strategy adopted by Putin has caused unease among Ukraine's allies, who have been criticized for their slow and disorganized support of the Ukrainian government. Some fear that this hesitation could potentially jeopardize the war effort. Meanwhile, Russia is preparing for its annual Victory Day parade, which has become a massive display of military might. This year's parade is no exception, and the Yars missile launchers, slowly making their way to Moscow from Teykovo, are being closely followed by Russian state media.
Among the media outlets covering this event are the defense ministry channel Zvezda, as well as pro-Putin outlets like Izvestia and REN TV, which is owned by Putin's alleged lover, Alina Kabaeva. The commander of the Yars missile compound, Yuri Malakhov, commented on the convoy, stating that the journey has been going smoothly, with all safety measures being observed. He also praised the drivers for their skills and professionalism as they made their way through three regions on their way to Moscow.
