Putin Watches “Nuclear Explosion“ At Russian Exhibition With Replica Of World’s Most Powerful Bomb

Russian President Vladimir Putin was spotted watching a recreated Soviet-era nuclear explosion from a mockup bunker in Moscow. The exhibition contains a slit in a wall of the “bunker“, located just six miles from the site of the first Soviet nuclear explosions. Video footage shows a guide reassuring Putin during the tour, saying: “Don’t be scared . . . it’ll be quite loud.“ Putin observed images of a blast and mushroom cloud through a viewing window. At the exhibition, Putin was shown how scientists and Soviet defence chiefs in the bunker “felt the ground shaking“ during the early nuclear test. The first Soviet nuclear test took place in 1949, with more than 700 following in the subsequent decades. Putin was shown a simulation of the “nuclear button“ but declined to press it, Reuters reported. #putin #russia #ukraine #russiaukrainewar #worldnews n18oc_world n18oc_crux 0:00 INTRODUCTION 1:36 RUSSIA SHOWCASES THE WORLD’S MOST POWER
