As America’s politicians continue to aid Ukraine with money and weapons, Russia is gearing up for something much bigger.
According to the Norwegian Intelligence Service, Russia is deploying nuclear weapon-armed vessels into the Baltic Sea.
“The key part of the nuclear potential is on the submarines and surface ships of the Northern Fleet,” the Norwegian intel said.
Check out what Politico reported:
The Northern Fleet warships regularly went to sea with nuclear weapons during the Cold War era, but this is the first time the modern Russian Federation has done the same, the report added.
While Russia also has submarine capabilities, anti-satellite weapons and cyber capabilities that could threaten Norway and the NATO military alliance, tactical nuclear weapons are “a particularly serious threat in several operational scenarios in which NATO countries may be involved,” the report said.
The Norwegian intelligence also noted that an escalation of a localized war into a wider conflict involving the Unites States, NATO and Norway cannot be ruled out.
The ongoing situation in Ukraine continues to escalate.
