Russia Set For Nuclear Test? Or Is Shoigu's Trip To Arctic Test Site Aimed At Spooking The West?

Russia's Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu inspected remote Arctic garrisons of the Northern Fleet, the ministry said on August 12, as a detachment of warships was sent to the Arctic Ocean to perform tasks. Shoigu inspected the military infrastructure as well as "readiness for actions to protect and defend critical facilities", the ministry said on the Telegram messaging app. A detachment of warships, including the destroyer Vice-Admiral Kulakov, the landing ship Alexander Otrakovsky and the rescue tug Altai went to the Arctic, the ministry said. It was not clear when Shoigu visited the fleet. It started military training on Friday aimed at working out actions to protect Russia's sovereignty in the waters of the Northern Sea Route, the fleet said. #russia #arctic #russiaukrainewar #usa #kremlin #putin #russiannavy n18oc_world n18oc_crux 0:00 INTRODUCTION 1:14 ROSATOM CHIEF ACCOMPANIES SHOIGU 2:02 RUSSIA TO RESUME NUKE TESTING IN ARCTIC? 2:40 RUSSIA SENDS WARSHIPS TO ARCTIC 3:30 ARCTIC SIGNALS AFTER ALASKA EXERCISES CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
