It is necessary to keep “strategic nuclear forces ready for combat”: the Russian Defense Minister, Sergei Shoigu said, during a meeting in Moscow, the same ministry announced in a statement relaunched by the Russian agency Interfax. Shoigu, that he is one of the three people who, in Russia, have the atomic bomb codes has disappeared from the radar for several days, an eclipse that has fueled the most disparate rumors, from the fact that he had an illness or a possible purge.
The note merely quoted the minister’s words: “In the light of the special military operation, it is necessary to maintain the current rate of supplies of advanced weapons, including robotic systems and means of acquiring information and electronic warfare, as well as, of course, as always, the means of material and technical support to the armed forces. The priorities are precision-guided long-range weapons, aviation hardware and maintaining the combat readiness of strategic nuclear forces. ”
