“Nuclear simulation”, the new Moscow challenge that alarms the West: tests with ‘electronic launch’ of missiles from Kaliningrad

MOSCA – This time there was no need to even launch a missile into the air. It was enough to press a few buttons and move a handful of one hundred soldiers to send a message to the West. On Wednesday, the seventieth day of what we call a “special military operation” here, Russia simulated the “electronic launch” of nuclear-capable missiles from Kaliningrad, its strategic exclave on the Baltic Sea, squeezed between Poland and Lithuania.
