Russia’s nuclear forces are holding drills northeast of Moscow Wednesday, a day after President Biden announced plans to send advanced missiles to Ukraine.

Some 1,000 Russian soldiers are taking part in intense maneuvers using more than 100 vehicles, including Yars intercontinental missile launchers, Russia’s independent news agency Interfax reported, citing the country’s Ministry of Defense.

The drills are taking place in the Ivanovo Oblast, about 160 miles northeast of Moscow.

The drills, which are aimed at preparing the missile systems for combat, required the troops to march more than 60 miles, camouflage the equipment and post guards, according to Russian news site mkivanovo.ru.

The training exercise also involved Typhoon-M armored counter-sabotage vehicles,

The Typhoon-M is equipped with different types of reconnaissance and surveillance equipment including a TKN-4S night vision sight and Kredo-1 ground surveillance radar. The vehicle is also equipped with an electronic warfare suite able to detect or jam hostile radio communications or electronic attacks, according to the report.

That’s one way to reduce the human population.

The U.S. should not be supplying anyone with anything.

I hope they don’t find out how demoralized America would be if they vaporized DC, New York, McClean Virginia, and the gay bay out in California. Let’s all keep that a secret.

Just one mistake, one miscalculation is all that is necessary.

And we have Joe Brain-Dead Biden and his band of merry freaks and homos in position to make those miscalculations.

Isn't this about the 20th time Russia has said they are doing nuclear exercises or nuclear capable missile tests in the past few months?

Do they think anyone is taking this seriously?

Oh cool, guess we should just shut down our arms industry like we’ve shut down pretty much any other industry. Then we can just buy any weapons we need for China. Nothing bad can come of that.

Well, the bedwetter contingent around here takes it seriously every time.

They [the Russians] know that the Biden Worshipers, The George Soros worshipers, the Globalists, along with the Neo Cons are going to get them in a full blown nuclear war with the United States of America. It is just a matter of time. They will not stop until it happens.

Even they don't take it seriously: it's simply rhetorical hyperbole to try to shut down opposing views on the Ukraine war. I guess it's the Paleocon equivalent of "it's for the children."

I think a bigger reason the war may escalate in unpredictable ways is the MQ-9 drone the USA is sending to Ukraine.

This can be remotely piloted and there’s no way to prove it isn’t being piloted from the USA or some NATO base in western Europe.

There would be no plausible deniability to say these USA drones aren’t being piloted from the USA or west europe.

The Russians had many military operations on the Ukraine border, and everyone thought these were all just a bluff, but then...

Since a lot of the drones are piloted from McCarran in Vegas, this could mean a nuke for Vegas.

Imagine the irony of all those Californians moving to Vegas and nixing Yucca Mountain because they didn't want nuclear waste in Nevada, but then getting nuked.

‘I guess it’s the Paleocon equivalent of “it’s for the children.”’

Bah, I don’t buy into this false division they are trying to make with everyone who supports Ukraine being a “neocon” and everyone else, by implication, is a paleocon (or maybe libertarian). It’s nonsense.

Not the MQ-9, but rather the US Army version MQ-1C, Grey Eagle.

You are a good spokesman for the Military Industrial Complex.

Absolutely agree.

There are threads we’re each side is roiled in stupid, juvenile personal attacks one after another.

So boring and petty. Hard to tell which side is worse. They both stink.
