🇷🇺Russia is introducing a new guided air-launched missile with a tactical nuclear charge, which is installed on MiGs and Su-type fighters.

This was reported by The War Zone, citing a report from the US Department of Defense Intelligence Agency.

The report notes that Russia is expanding its nuclear forces, adding new capabilities, including nuclear air-to-air missiles and new nuclear systems.

According to U.S. intelligence, Russia stores approximately 1,550 deployed strategic warheads and up to 2,000 non-strategic warheads, and is expanding its nuclear forces in Belarus by creating and reconstructing nuclear weapons storage sites and training Belarusian crews to handle tactical nuclear weapons.

"However, Russia is very unlikely to use nuclear weapons in this conflict unless the Russian leadership decides that the regime is in existential danger," the document says.

According to the authors of The War Zone, the US intelligence report most likely refers to a special version of the R-37M long-range missile. This long-range interceptor missile was developed specifically for the MiG-31 and adapted for the Su-30SM, Su-35S and Su-57 multirole fighters.
