On Wednesday, Russia started a nuclear drill amid the ongoing war with Ukraine. During this, ballistic missiles were also launched. Its footage was released by government TV. According to reports, President Vladimir Putin watched the entire exercise from a control room. Technically this drill is called Strategic Deterrence Force.
In simple language, it is a preparation for a counter-attack. A statement issued by the Russian government said – Ballistic and cruise missile launches took place under the leadership of President Putin.
where was the drill
These missile tests were conducted in Kamchatka, located in the eastern part of Russia. This is the region of the Arctic Sea. Russia's new and hi-tech Tu-95 aircraft were also used during the exercise. The Kremlin claims that all the missiles launched to hit the target.
Russia has intercontinental ballistic missiles. They can reach any part of the world. Apart from this, they have all such fighter jets and submarines that can carry out nuclear attacks. On the one hand, the US is claiming that Russian forces can launch a nuclear attack on Ukraine. On the other hand, Russia says that America and NATO are preparing for a nuclear attack on it.
Russia did not hide the drill
According to a report by 'Nikkei Asia, on Wednesday, Russia had given information about the nuclear drill to America. It said that ballistic missiles would also be launched. The Pentagon also confirmed this. Its spokesman Patrick Ryder said – Yes, Russia did inform us. This is a routine exercise. This means that Russia is fulfilling the conditions related to arms control and the promise of transparency.
Russia expresses concern to India
The war between Russia and Ukraine has been going on for the last 8 months. Meanwhile, Russia has expressed concern about many problems with India including the dirty bomb. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu had a phone conversation with Defense Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday. During this, the situation deteriorating due to the war was discussed.
Shoigu told India that Ukraine could use dirty bombs in the Kherson area. A month earlier, Russia had annexed the Kherson region by conducting a referendum. India has talked about resolving this entire matter through dialogue.
Russia gave information to many countries including America
Russia has informed many countries including the US, France, and the UK about the use of dirty bombs. However, these countries have rejected Russia's claim. The three countries say that the claim being made by Russia is completely wrong.
Zelensky calls the use of dirty bombs a rumor
Ukrainian President Zelensky has vehemently rejected Russia's claim. Zelensky said that rumors are being spread against us. The Russian military itself is trying to use the dirty bomb and is accusing Ukraine of diverting attention from its activities.
what is a dirty bomb
Technically it is called a radiological dispersal device. It does not contain direct radioactive content. Instead, radioactive waste (radiative waste) is used. They do not pose a great risk of killing people, but they can spread a lot of diseases. These include cancer.
Nuclear weapons destroy miles away and millions of people can be killed in a matter of minutes. Dirty bombs are not that dangerous. Nuclear weapons consist of pure materials of uranium and plutonium. Dirty bombs contain atomic waste. Secondly, it is used with dynamite.
In a report released two years ago by ICAN (International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons), it was said - Dirty bombs can cause significant damage to a fixed or target area. The range of damage in a nuclear attack is very large. If the wind is strong, it can affect hundreds of kilometers away. The radiation from a dirty bomb is not very high and far away.
When was the dirty bomb used?
Dirty bombs have never been used anywhere in the world. However, in many places, such an attack has been attempted.
In 1996, Chechnya rebels planted a dirty bomb in Izmailovo Park in Moscow. The security forces came to know about the bomb, after which it was defused.
In 1998, Chechnya security forces defused a dirty bomb planted on the side of a railway line.
In 2002, Jose Padilla, a US citizen with ties to al-Qaeda, was arrested. Padilla was accused of planning a dirty bomb attack in Chicago. He was sentenced to 21 years.
In 2004, Dhiren Berat, a British citizen with ties to al-Qaeda, was arrested. Berat was sentenced to 30 years in prison for planning dirty bomb attacks in the US and UK.
