Putin makes chilling WW3 threat Russia 'fully ready' to blast nuclear bomb at 'any moment' in Arctic

 

Russia is reportedly "fully ready" to resume nuclear bomb tests in the Arctic for the first time since 1990, a move that could have global consequences. The revelation comes amid increasing calls for President Vladimir Putin to send a strong message to the West, particularly over the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

 Proponents of the test argue that a nuclear explosion would demonstrate Putin’s willingness to go nuclear, potentially deterring Western nations from approving long-range missiles for Ukraine to use against Russian military targets.

According to the Kremlin's official newspaper, Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the test could take place immediately if ordered by Putin. The location would be the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, a Soviet-era test site in the Arctic first used 70 years ago. Rear-Admiral Andrei Sinitsyn, director of the facility, confirmed that the site, its personnel, and all related equipment are fully prepared for testing. Sinitsyn added that Western intelligence has been closely monitoring the area, indicating growing international concern.

The possibility of resuming nuclear tests has drawn alarm from environmentalists and global security experts. Such a test would not only signal a potential return to Cold War-era tensions but could also spark widespread fear of a looming nuclear conflict. Sinitsyn highlighted the high level of security at Novaya Zemlya, noting that regular drills are conducted to prepare for possible drone attacks and that the site is protected by electronic warfare systems.

Hardline Russian officials, including MP Andrei Kolesnik, have openly called for a nuclear test as a direct warning to the West. Kolesnik suggested that a demonstration of Russia’s nuclear capabilities might force world leaders to reconsider their approach, and possibly prevent escalation into nuclear warfare. He hinted that lifting the current moratorium on nuclear tests could make humanity "think twice" about the risks of war.

In addition to these nuclear threats, Russia has been bolstering its preparations for nuclear war. This week, military drills were conducted in the Ivanovo region, showcasing Russia’s powerful Yars missile launchers. These Mach 25 missiles, with a range of 7,500 miles, are a key component of Russia’s strategic nuclear force. However, the even more advanced Sarmat missile, dubbed “Satan-2,” is expected to replace Yars shortly.

Putin’s readiness to resume nuclear tests at Novaya Zemlya has evoked memories of the Cold War, particularly the Tsar Bomba test of 1961, the largest nuclear explosion in history. With tensions between Russia and the West escalating, the threat of a new nuclear test has become a chilling reminder of the stakes involved in the Ukraine conflict.
