The planned exercise involving the practice deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in southern Russia is nothing unusual, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that there was nothing unusual in a planned exercise involving the practice deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in southern Russia along with ally Belarus. Russia said on Monday it would practise the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons as part of a military exercise after what the Moscow said were threats from France, Britain and the United States.
Russia has about 1,558 non-strategic nuclear warheads, according to the Federation of American Scientists, though there is uncertainty about exact figures for such weapons due to a lack of transparency. There is still much uncertainty among arms controls experts about what weapons Russia has supplied to Belarus and the nature of their storage.
