Rusland test kernwapen-raket rond Victory Day-parade

Russia has activated its primary intercontinental ballistic missile test range in Kamchatka from May 6-10, coinciding with the Victory Day parade in Moscow on May 9. The Kura test range, operational since the 1950s, will conduct tests of nuclear-capable missiles including the RS-28 Sarmat and Bulava systems. Analysts interpret the timing as a deliberate nuclear deterrence signal directed at Ukraine, demonstrating Russia's military capabilities during a significant national celebration.
