The first type is truly adapted for the task of nuclear impact, and it is it that can pose a potential threat to Ukraine. Military expert Oleg Zhdanov told about the peculiarities of Russian echelons of strategic purpose in the new issue of the argument. According to the expert, the first type of BZRC consists of seven wagons, which are usually disguised as refrigerators or under passenger cars.
They are equipped with ballistic nuclear missiles, a range of 5-6 thousand kilometers, so if Russia wants to strike in Ukraine, then send a warehouse to the borders of its borders absurd-it can be done from Tagil. "There is such a division in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, it is located in the Lower Tagilil. They have a depot where these BZRKs are located," Zhdanov explained.
The second type of so -called "nuclear trains" is a mobile command point for managing the nuclear forces of the Russian Federation. These are armored echelons that are not equipped with nuclear weapons. "There is a means of communication. In Soviet times, the command could go from Moscow behind this train to Yekaterinburg. And in the process of movement to control troops and forces. In particular, nuclear," the expert said. Russia has no other types of nuclear trains.
Regarding their use, including Ukraine, it is more like a bluff, the expert says. However, information from Western allies should be monitored about the movement of such echelons. "The fact is that all places of storage, and about 12, are verified in Russia, and all of them are behind the Urals. As soon as the movement of a nuclear warrior begins, Western intelligence will know about it," Zhdanov said.
As for the US preventive blow to the convoy, which will try to deliver this nuclear warrior, according to the expert, it is quite realistic. And if the United States misses it and the Russian Federation can even cause a tactical nuclear stroke, it will lead to serious image losses for the US and NATO.
