Russia is pre-emptively planning deployment sites of intermediate- and shorter-range missiles. The plans are in response to a potential US move to deploy such weapons, according to Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov. Ryabkov also warned that while Moscow’s nuclear war policy hasn’t changed, the situation is fluid. Ryabkov’s warning comes days after Russia’s defence ministry said it had launched preparations for a nuclear weapons drills in southern Russia. This comes as the commander of the US Northern Command said Russia has expanded its inventory of radar-evading ICBM*s over the past year. According to General Gregory Guillot, the ICBMs are armed with a hypersonic glide vehicle that is capable of evading radars. Watch the video to find out more.
