The General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces has launched the first stage of the exercises on the preparation and deployment of non-strategic nuclear weapons. The exercises involve the missile formations of the Southern Military District, as well as the aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces. During the exercises, missile forces work out the tasks of obtaining special ammunition for Iskander complexes and equipping launch vehicles with them, then moving to the designated position area for launching. Units of the aerospace forces are also practicing the deployment of special munitions, equipping them with aviation missiles, including the Dagger missiles, with subsequent departure to the patrol area.
The Russian Defense Ministry shared the footage of the ongoing exercises:
‘As previously reported by the Russian Defense Ministry, the exercise is aimed at maintaining the readiness of personnel and equipment of units of combat use of non-strategic nuclear weapons to respond and to unconditionally ensure the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Russian state in response to provocative statements and threats by certain Western officials against the Russian Federation,’ the Russian MoD reported.
The Southern Military District is located in the western part of the Russian Federation, next to the territories under the Ukrainian control. This is a clear sign to Kiev and NATO, who could watch the possible consequences of their policy aimed to escalate the conflict against Russia.

oh shit. yesterday the german tv did say, russian losses are too high for them to retain nuclear capabilities. i guess they where wrong again.
germans have had there time in the sun multiple times, but this time’s world war they will transpone from mammal race to an amphibian one, if they are lucky.
… and that cattle of cowards has earned it in full.
there is a movie from 1960, “amphibian man”. a scientist transplant gills to a boy and grows him as own son, it let him to swim underwater with no limits. new name of the boy – ihtiandr: ihtios (fish) + andros (human) in greek. or fischmensch in german, if my translation is right.
perhaps they had somehow mistakenly been watching numbers of the ukrainian losses…
germans say the funniest things.
my favorite is “31 german baby farts in 27 seconds”
tactical is usually considered 50 kiloton or less, russia likely has veritable yield nukes, they would most likely be used defensively in the first stage of a nato invasion
russia should taste a pair of 203 mm nuclear proyectile fired from malka/ pion artillery in a field in ukraine without ukrainians troops just doing a demo…
should test 2 nuke proyectile
there is 152mm of very small yield.
we humiliated by superior russian
