Russian nuclear submarines, mobile missile launchers stage drills after Putin order
Russia’s nuclear submarines and mobile missile launchers staged drills on Tuesday, two days after Russian President Vladimir Putin’s order placing deterrence forces on high alert.
Warships that protect the northwest portion of Russia’s Kola Peninsula were joining the exercises, The Associated Press reported, citing a statement from Russia’s military.
Units of the Russian military’s Strategic Missile Forces dispersed intercontinental ballistic missile launchers in forests in eastern Siberia to practice secret deployment, the outlet reported.
It was unclear whether the drills were directly linked to the Sunday’s order.

None of the three Western nuclear powers is taking Putin's bait (even though there are plenty of elements suggesting that Russia has done more than just adding a few personnels on-duty here and there).
