In the Japanese Sea, ships of the Russian Federation launched "caliber and" hurricane "missiles: to whom Moscow is threatened

To extend: Russia conducted the Pacific Fleet of Russia in the Japanese Sea, during which the Fragal "Marshal Shaposhnikov" of the Project 1155m successfully launched high-precision missiles "Caliber-N and Uranus". At the same time, maneuvers were accompanied by the actions of maritime aircraft and unmanned systems. "The purpose was successfully destroyed by anti -ship missiles," the TASS said in a message.

Commenting on the event, Army Recognition reviewers noted that launches emphasize Moscow's desire to demonstrate their shock opportunities in the region where the US, Japan and South Korea regularly conduct joint training. The training of the Russian Fleet with the demonstration of advanced weapons of the Russian Federation coincided with lively discussions about the possible revision of Japan nuclear policy and maintaining tension on the Korean Peninsula.

The analyst also noted that the training coincided with the flight of Russian strategic bombers Tu-95MS over the Japanese Sea a week earlier. The set of these shares looks like a deliberate signal of Japan, South Korea and the United States: Russia is ready to maintain military presence in the Asia-Pacific region, despite significant forces that are distracted by the war in Ukraine.

According to Reuters, the unpredictable foreign policy of US President Donald Trump on allies was the reason to activate such discussions. In particular, former Deputy Defense Minister of Japan Rui Matsukawa, during a visit to the UK, noted that European states have already begun to be aware of the need to ensure their security independently. According to her, a similar approach should be considered in Japan, which houses the largest foreign contingents of US troops.

Matzukawa also stressed that "Trump's unpredictability requires plan B", which can provide both greater independence in defense issues and revision of the three non -nuclear principles of existing "three non -nuclear principles". Meanwhile, the White House did not formally comment on Matzukava's words, but a high -ranking representative of the Trump administration told Reuters that there is no change in US policy in US policy on Japan and South Korea.

It was noted that the US president and his high -ranking national security assistants have repeatedly emphasized their commitment to allies in Asia. Recall that Russia intends to modernize its nuclear arsenal. According to the CEO of the Russian State Corporation "Rosatom" Alexei Likhachev, the nuclear shield of the Russian Federation in the coming years should be improved.
