Did Russia Cancelled Its Nuclear Exercise This Week?

Russia was due to hold it annual 'Grom' nuclear drills this week, but so far has given no sign that it is preparing the drills (pictured, tests in 2019)  

Daily Mail: Mystery of Russia's 'missing' nuclear tests: No sign of long-awaited drills amid claims Putin's atomic plans are being 'disrupted' from within with top brass 'sabotaging plans to use nuclear weapons' 

* Russia was expected to carry out long-awaited 'Grom' nuclear drills this week 

* Air alerts were put out over swathes of Arctic suggesting long-range missiles and potentially nuclear bombs were going to be tested 

* But so far there is no sign of drills taking place and alert areas have been silent 

* Russian professor has claimed Putin's tests are being 'disrupted' from within 

Mystery surrounds Russian nuclear tests that were expected to take this week and never materialised, amid claims they are being 'disrupted' from within. 

Moscow typically carries out large-scale atomic drills dubbed 'Grom' at this time of year and in recent days had issued a number of airspace alerts over its usual testing grounds - heavily suggesting they would be going ahead. 

But the US says it has received no alert from Moscow about any upcoming tests and there has been no official word from the Kremlin explaining their absence, with the air alerts due to expire Saturday.
