As a dramatic show of Russia’s nuclear power, Vladimir Putin launched an intercontinental ballistic missile right after Donald Trump was re-elected. Putin told the powerful Yars missile to move to the Kozelsk missile unit in Kaluga as a sign of protest. This action has a hint of a warning about World War III.With six warheads, each with a power of more than 100 kilotons, the Yars missiles are six times stronger than the infamous bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima. They can also hit targets up to 7,500 miles away, which means they can reach the US and Europe.After news that Putin’s war effort was being slowed down by the economy, footage shown on the Russian defense ministry’s Zvezda channel showed the huge missile, which is meant to destroy Western targets, being carefully placed in its scary spot. The 19,000-mph missile, which can be moved and loaded at speeds of less than 12mph, is the most important part of Russia’s strategic nuclear arsenal that is on the ground.Putin’s aggression against Ukraine caused ties between Russia and NATO countries to become weak, which led to Trump’s re-election. This show of force comes after Trump’s victory. Although some people thought that Moscow backed Trump over Kamala Harris, the Kremlin has not yet officially congratulated the new US president.Putin’s spokesman said this about the US on Wednesday: “Let us not forget that we are talking about an unfriendly country that is both directly and indirectly involved in a war against our nation,” as reported by the Mirror.People think that Putin may have sent Trump his congratulations through a secret channel. Putin’s missile launch comes right after the United States’ hypersonic nuclear missile test, which was meant to show off its nuclear power after Trump’s election win.The Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile took off from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Tuesday night around 11 p.m., according to the Air Force Global Strike Command. The goal of these regular tests is to show that the US nuclear deterrent is still “safe, secure, reliable, and effective to deter threats in the 21st century.”The head of the Air Force Global Strike Command, Gen. Thomas A. Bussiere, said, “These tests show what Striker Airmen can bring to the fight if the president calls them.” He also said, “An airborne launch confirms the survivability of our ICBMs, which serve as the strategic backstop of our nation’s defense and the defense of allies and partners.”
