Putin responds to the Ukrainian attack: Comprehensive update on the Russian nuclear triad.

The British newspaper "The Telegraph" revealed, after analyzing satellite images, that Russia has moved its most important strategic nuclear bombers to a remote airbase in the far east of the country following a major Ukrainian drone attack targeting Russian territory last Sunday. According to the images, two Tu-160 aircraft were transferred to the "Anadyr" airbase, located in the desolate Chukotka Peninsula, about 4000 miles from the front line and only about 410 miles from the US state of Alaska. The base is isolated and can only be accessed by air or sea, built during the Soviet era in anticipation of possible attacks from the United States during the Cold War. The Ukrainian attack targeted five strategic airbases inside Russia using drones in a coordinated operation described as one of the largest strikes since the war began. Russian information indicates that the operation was meticulously planned for over a year, with speculation of direct involvement from US military intelligence, as reported by the Russian platform "Strategic Culture Foundation." These targeted bases house bombers that are a key component of the "nuclear triad," the military system consisting of land, sea, and air-based means capable of carrying nuclear warheads. The Ukrainian strike was considered a serious strategic signal to Kiev's ability, and perhaps its Western allies, to strike deep into Russia and disable its nuclear capabilities. In his first comment, Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a meeting with top weapons industry officials in the country, stated that top priority must be given to developing the nuclear triad within the new armament program. He added that this triad has been and will remain the most important guarantor of Russia's sovereignty and a crucial balancing element in global powers. Putin emphasized that 95% of the weapons in Russia's strategic nuclear forces have been completely modernized, considering this to be the "highest indicator among all nuclear powers in the world." This escalation comes at a time of increasing pressure from NATO to enhance its capabilities against Russia, while the Kremlin describes NATO as a "tool of aggression." As Russian aircraft are moved to distant bases, warnings and statements intensify from both sides, raising concerns about the world entering a new phase of an arms race with unpredictable consequences.
