Russian Army Carries out Mock Nuclear Attack on American Troops in Poland
Russian Army reportedly conducted a mock nuclear attack against NATO troops in Poland during a large-scale ZAPAD-2021 (West 21) military exercise.
An unnamed Russian source says that the main purpose of the Zapad 21 exercise is to simulate counter-attacks in case of large-scale war with the US and its Nato allies. During the military exercise, the Russian military conducted dummy bombing runs involving long-range precision live-fires.
As part of the exercise, a pair of Tu-22M3 bombers simulated an attack on the American military command structure in Poland and a nuclear-capable artillery unit conducted realistic live-fire exercises.
