States noted that reports from the Russian Federation reduce the risk of incorrect assessment of what is happening. The US Pentagon stated that the United States received a warning from the Russian Federation about the beginning of exercises of strategic nuclear forces "Thunder". This was reported by the press service of the defense department. Russia officially informed the Pentagon and the State Department of Starting the Annual Exercises of Strategic Nuclear Forces "Thunder".

There is a plan to launch ballistic missiles that can carry nuclear warheads. In this way, Moscow performs its responsibilities for weapons control. "These messages reduce the risk of incorrect assessment of what is happening," said the Ned Price State Department. The event was waiting for such a message. NATO Stoltenberg Secretary General General in early October stated that they were waiting for the start of the strategic nuclear forces. NATO will closely follow them.

It should be noted that the previous time of study "Thunder" took place 5 days before the full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. Then the Kremlin failed to warn the United States to conduct such exercises. Defense Express note that training can concentrate on checking the readiness of ballistic missiles such as "Topol-M", "Voivod" is better known as "Satan". The Russian Federation tests intercontinental ballistic missiles by launching the oldest unit.
