Footage emerges of a 'nuclear train' moving through Russia as fears grow over what Putin will do next
A train belonging to a Russian nuclear department was seen moving through Russia.Footage showing a train of military equipment belonging to Russia's nuclear units is likely a "signal to the West" – after a desperate Vladimir Putin annexed four regions of Ukraine.His seizure of Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson – none of which are fully controlled by Moscow – raised fears over whether he would go as far as using a nuclear strike to keep them in Russian hands.
His beleaguered forces are crumbling in the face of Ukrainian counter attacks as they move to liberate towns and cities Russia spent weeks trying to take. Now, footage has emerged of a train belonging to the organisation that handles nuclear munitions moving equipment, according to one defence analyst, moving through what is believed to be central Russia.
"This "another train with military equipment" is actually carrying kit belonging to the 12th Main Directorate of the Russian MoD. The directorate is responsible for nuclear munitions, their storage, maintenance, transport, and issuance to units," said Konrad Muzyka.At first glance, there is nothing special about it. But upon closer examination, you can see KamAZ-43269 "Shot" standing on the platforms with combat modules "Spoke".
