Several months have passed since the Russian-Ukrainian war started in February, and Russian officials have said that they will not use nuclear weapons once morest Ukraine. However, when Russia was rehearsing for the “Victory Day” military parade on the 9th in Moscow’s Red Square yesterday (7), a 50-ton RS-24 intercontinental ballistic missile (RS-24 Yars) capable of carrying 10 nuclear warheads appeared.
According to the British “Mirror” report, the thermonuclear RS-24 intercontinental ballistic missile appeared on a 16-wheeler on the 7th.
Experts worry that the intercontinental weapon can travel at speeds of up to 24,500 kilometers per hour and can hit targets as far as 12,000 kilometers away, the equivalent of hitting London in just a few minutes.
In this regard, experts believe that the purpose of Russia’s public display of such lethal missiles is to remind Russia of its power, and there have been previous reports that Putin is eager to formally declare war on Ukraine on Victory Day.
Experts say Victory Day celebrations to mark the 77th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany might be used as a ceremony to ignite the invasion of Ukraine.
