NATO warns Russia is planting nukes at bottom of Arctic Ocean | World | News
NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and Russia have long had a hostile and fragile dynamic. The 32-member alliance was formed in 1949 to protect against the risk of Soviet attack.
The alliance now focuses on protecting allied districts, promising that an attack on one member is considered an attack on all members. It has been the cornerstone of the West’s security.
EurAsia Daily reported that NATO intelligence services are monitoring the Russian Northern Fleet and believe that attempts are being made to place missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads on the seabed.
German media reported that the project called “Scythians” may have been implemented for several years.
It is understood that the missiles will be deployed in the Arctic Ocean on Russian territory. They can be found in specially designed mines or containers at the bottom of the ocean.
Reports say that if Russia deploys the missiles, they could remain on the seabed for some time and be launched remotely.
In the event of war, missile launchers on the seabed will be difficult to detect and destroy.
The Daily Express previously reported that Vladimir Putin’s forces had tested a range of nuclear-capable missiles, posing a chilling threat to the rest of the world.
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that test launches of ‘Yars’ and ‘Sineva’ ICBMs, as well as hypersonic missiles from the ‘Zircon’ and ‘Kinzhal’ systems, were carried out during nuclear force exercises on Thursday, May 21.
Meanwhile, Russian news agency Interfax said that the Belarusian army carried out a test launch of the ‘Iskander’ missile.
This follows a furious war of words with NATO state Lithuania over fears of Putin’s military operation in the Baltics.
Alliance fighters clashed in Lithuania on Wednesday over drone attacks from Russia’s ally Belarus, which is currently participating in nuclear drills with Kremlin forces.
