Ukraine War: Putin vows to boost nuclear arsenal on Russia's Armed Forces Day

On Russia's national holiday to honour its armed forces, President Putin laid a wreath to remember the fallen.

However, his speech revealed a different tone as he vowed to continue boosting Russia's nuclear capabilities.

Specifically, he announced mass deliveries of hypersonic missiles to the navy, ushering in a new state of battle readiness.

Sky's Diana Magnay analyses the implications of Putin's remarks from Moscow.

The fact he is so close to the possibility of nuclear warfare is scary but the fact he's happy to use it so close to his own people is even scarier!

The sooner one of the siloviki makes a move to ‘accidentally’ putsch Putin out of an open window, the better.

Thought sky news would be keeping a low profile after they were name and shamed after the recent report on a missing person

Can't Putin & zelensky settle this over a game of chess?

Nuclear weapons have become the “poor man’s” threat. The difficulty is containing their damage to the target and not the surrounding area. Precision weapons, landing within 3 feet of their target are far superior and limits damage to the target area. For Russia to launch any type of nuclear weapon, tactical or strategic, it runs the risk of malfunctions or interceptions that could end in the detonation of the device over Russia itself. The US spends $65 Billion per year maintaining our nuclear arsenal. I doubt Russia spends much, and what it does spend is syphoned off by the Generals, contractors and anyone else that can get close to the money. As one wise observer wrote in Aviation Week many years ago, “When the warhead comes through the ceiling of the bunker, the occupants don’t care if it’s conventional or nuclear.”

If that's not admitting defeat, then I'm not sure what is!! " Look matie I clearly can't fight so I will just get what I wat with my new nukes."

[dennisblake]

WWlll looks more likely at this rate ……in that case it’s kiss your hiney good bye because no one wins.

[sirpeasantstu]

Kill streak after kill streak ..all camo unlocked full rank achieved and battle pass unlocked still no Nuke tho .????

[nbgoodiscore]

Didn't he say yesterday that despite suspending the nuclear non proliferation treaty he would not increase his arsenal? Or did I mishear him?

[cesarmedina]

War grows out of the desire of the individual to gain advantage at the expense of his fellow man.

[sandyflowers]

He is not the only can do it. USA, Europe, Japan and others can

[bigboy]

Putin rattling the nuclear saber again is a sign of desperation.

[davidedbrooke]

The nukes need to be serviced and tritium replaced regularly do we think Russia has kept this up?

[ytjepool]

Thats what he doos. But US to. I didnt even had time for my own. Becauseoff the work.

[rsdex]

What's the point ! They are of no use.

[aw-resistance]

Why do they never report the amount of Ukrainian soldiers who have died? Apparently it stands at around 230'000.
