[HIGHLIGHTS] "Practicing training scenarios": US strategic nuclear forces will conduct Global Thunder 23 exercises

The US Strategic Command of the US Armed Forces begins the Global Thunder 23 exercise to verify the readiness of nuclear forces. The duration and location of the exercises were not disclosed, but in the past similar maneuvers took place in Europe and lasted about two weeks.

Military experts note that in the current military-political situation, with these maneuvers, the United States is trying to demonstrate its capabilities to their main geopolitical opponents - Russia and China. In 2021, the head of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergei Shoigu said that as part of the GlobalThunder exercises, nuclear strikes were practiced.
