[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Vladimir Putin has staged a show of nuclear strength amid Donald Trump's re-election as he rolled out a terrifying Yars intercontinental ballistic missile.
Footage released by the Russian defence ministry shows a 19,000 mph missile being transported on a special loading unit in the Kaluga region.
Yars missiles have a range of up to 7,500 miles, enabling strikes on the US as well as Europe.
They are currently the main element of the ground-based component of the Russian strategic nuclear force.
The latest drills follow Trump's re-election amid deep strains in relations between Russia and the NATO countries over Putin's continuing war against Ukraine.
While there was an assumption that Moscow preferred Trump to his opponent Kamala Harris, Putin has not officially congratulated the US president-elect.
On Wednesday, Putin's spokesman said of the US:
'Let us not forget that we are talking about an unfriendly country that is both directly and indirectly involved in a war against our nation.'
It also comes a week after Putin staged a mock nuclear war when he launched scores of missiles capable of unleashing a 'massive' strike in a stark warning to the West.
The major new exercises spanned Russia, with Yars missile launches from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in the northwest to the Kura test range in Kamchatka in the far east.
Defence Minister Andrei Belousov warned the West that the exercise was to show how Russia could deliver 'a massive nuclear strike by strategic offensive forces in response to a nuclear strike by the enemy'.
The Kremlin also announced last month that Russia's nuclear doctrine, last updated in 2020, had been amended according to changes proposed by Putin that were in the process of being formalised.
Putin said the changes could see Moscow authorise a nuclear strike if Russia was hit by conventional weapons by a nuclear power, in a concerning lowering of the so-called 'nuclear threshold'.
The changes also enable Moscow to respond with a nuclear strike if a non-nuclear state launches an attack on Russia while being supported by a nuclear power.

While the US practices an airfield seizure operation in Palau using the 2nd Ranger Battalion on Election Day Eve - and tests an ICBM on Election Day proper. No saber rattling there . . .
Worth noting, korrespondent.net has compiled its Invasion of Ukraine series into separate months, beginning May 9th, 2023. Linked in the title.
[Korrespondent] 21:54 The number of those wounded as a result of today's Russian strike on Zaporozhye has risen to 40, including four children: 15, five, one year old and a four-month-old baby, said the head of the OVA Ivan Fedorov.
21:46 The United States will support Zelensky if he decides to start peace talks with Moscow, said State Department spokesman Matthew Miller. At the same time, he stressed that Washington does not intend to impose a timeframe for Kiev to enter into peace talks.
21:11 Putin said that he congratulated Trump on his election as US President and is ready for contacts with him.
An important item to check off the list.
20:37 Zelensky said that the bilateral agreement between Ukraine and Hungary was not signed due to the NATO issue: "The document currently does not include Hungary's support for Ukraine in NATO. And since this is not the case, the document was not signed."
19:18 Sacked German Finance Minister Christian Lindner said that Scholz fired him over his proposal to send Taurus missiles to Ukraine. According to him, the chancellor ordered that Ukraine receive 3 billion euros in financial support, but Lindner said that this was impossible due to the difficult financial situation in the country. Instead, the minister suggested that Scholz send Taurus missiles, to which the chancellor responded with a categorical refusal and informed Lindner of his resignation.
17:50 European leaders gathered today for a summit in Budapest called on Trump to avoid trade wars, continue to support Ukraine and refrain from violating the world order. "It is in our interests that the autocrats of this world receive a very clear signal that this is not the rule of force, but the rule of law," said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, in turn, called for Ukraine to be viewed as a problem not only for Europe, and called Russia's partnership with the DPRK "a threat not only to the European part of NATO, but also to the United States."
17:42 The death toll from Russia's strikes on Zaporizhia has risen to four, with 18 people injured, Interior Minister Igor Klimenko reported. There may still be people under the rubble.
17:35 Russians shelled Nikolaevka in Donetsk Oblast - two people were killed and five were wounded, OVA chief Vadim Filashkin reported. One of the shells hit a five-story building, and four neighboring houses were damaged.
17:23 Ukraine has handed over to Turkey lists of seriously ill Crimean political prisoners so that Ankara can help them receive medical care and in further actions to dismiss them, said ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets.
17:04 In Zaporizhia, the number of victims as a result of today's Russian shelling has risen to 17, including three children aged four months, one year and ten years, said the head of the OVA Ivan Fedorov and showed a video of the aftermath of the attack:
16:59 Russia has begun to use a thermobaric warhead on drones like the Shahed-136, which poses a much greater threat when used to destroy buildings, Defense Express writes. The shock wave after the explosion causes the movement of a thermobaric mixture, which interacts with the air and with itself to form a "fire cloud" with a temperature of 2400-2600 °C.
Thermobaric ammunition is most effective in a confined space, since such a "cloud" can cover several rooms, and it is much more difficult to hide from it. This is why Russia uses "shaheeds" with such a warhead to attack cities, primarily Kiev, with the aim of killing civilians. In cases where it is impossible to move to a shelter, experts advise adding another rule to the "two walls" rule - closing the interior door. This will reduce the spread of the thermobaric mixture throughout the entire apartment to some extent.
16:37 Google has removed images of military facilities and systems in Ukraine from its maps, said Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council.
16:08 Russians carried out five air strikes with bombs and missiles on Zaporizhia, hits on residential buildings and a hospital were recorded, said the head of the OVA Ivan Fedorov. According to preliminary data, one person was killed, ten were wounded, including a one-year-old child. Two people are in serious condition, including a medical worker.
15:15 Zelensky, in his address during the European Political Community summit in Budapest, called calls for Ukraine to make concessions to Putin unacceptable: "This is unacceptable for Ukraine and suicide for all of Europe." According to him, Kiev "needs a sufficient number of weapons, not hugs with Putin."
14:26 The UK has added another 56 organisations and individuals linked to Russia to its sanctions list, the largest package of sanctions since May 2023. For the first time, restrictions have been placed on Russian mercenaries in Africa. The sanctions list includes, among other things, companies from China, Turkey and Central Asia that cooperate with the Russian military-industrial complex.
13:38 Ukrenergo reported that as a result of the Russian UAV strike on a power facility in the Zhytomyr region, not only the Zhytomyr region, but also the Rivne region were partially de-energized.
13:04 Air defense destroyed 74 of 106 enemy drones (Shahed type and unspecified type) in Odessa, Nikolaev, Kherson, Kyiv, Sumy, Poltava, Kharkiv, Kirovohrad, Zhytomyr, Cherkasy and Chernihiv regions. Another 25 drones were lost, the Air Force reported.
12:35 Zelensky has already arrived in Hungary, Reuters reports. This is his first visit to Hungary since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion. The European Political Community Summit is taking place there today.
12:16 Summons are sent first and foremost to the unemployed and those who do not pay taxes, Shmyhal said. According to him, only 2% of summonses over the past two months were sent to employed people. "Mobilization, the summonses that we send out - as of today, 98% of the summonses sent out, which are formed deliberately through the Oberig registry, are sent to people who do not pay a single hryvnia in taxes and are not registered anywhere as employed. In fact, today the priority of mobilization is given to unemployed people," the prime minister explained.
11:22 Russia is using "shaheddin" to pinpoint energy infrastructure in Ukraine in order to save missiles, which it is stockpiling at strategic aviation airfields, said Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council. According to him, the rate of missile production does not allow the Russians to wage an intensive war with their constant use, and drones are a cheaper tool. "Although the effectiveness of these UAVs is more suitable for terrorizing civilians than for use against intended targets: their effectiveness percentage barely exceeds 10%," Kovalenko added.
11:07 In Zhitomir region, in connection with another enemy attack on the energy information structure, emergency shutdowns have been introduced in Korosten, Zhitomir and Zvyagelsky districts, the regional power company reported.
09:23 Trump's "peace plan" to end the war in Ukraine likely includes a demand to renounce NATO membership for 20 years and freeze the front line without returning territories, The Wall Street Journal writes, citing sources.
09:15 In the Kherson region, over the past day, as a result of Russian shelling, one person was killed and eight were injured, reported the head of the OVA, Oleksandr Prokudin.
08:41 Russians fired KABs at the Yampol community in Sumy Oblast - one person was killed, one was wounded. A gas station, a multi-story building, and two private houses were damaged, OVA reported. The prosecutor's office clarified that as a result of the attack, a gas station employee was killed and a Ukrzaliznytsia employee was wounded.
08:30 At night, the Russian army attacked Kiev with attack drones. According to the head of the Kyiv State Military Aviation Service, Sergey Popko, it was a massive attack: the drones approached the capital both individually and in groups, from different directions, at different altitudes - both very low and significant. The air defense forces neutralized more than 30 Russian UAVs. Falling debris was recorded in six districts of the city. Residential and non-residential buildings were damaged, fires broke out, which were quickly extinguished. In particular, a fire broke out on the upper floors of a multi-story residential building in the Pechersk district. Two people were injured.
08:23 At night, Russians attacked Odessa with attack drones - debris damaged multi-story buildings, one person was injured, reported the head of the OVA Oleg Kiper.
08:07 In Donetsk region on November 6, as a result of Russian shelling, one person was wounded - in Sukhi Yalah, reported the head of the OVA Vadim Filashkin.
07:36 The General Staff announced the estimated losses of the Russian Federation as of the morning of November 7:
personnel - about 704,300 (+1400) people,

05:25 Trump held a telephone conversation with South Korean President Yun Suk-yol, during which the parties discussed, in particular, the deployment of North Korean troops on Russian territory to participate in the war against Ukraine, the South Korean leader's administration reported. In addition, Trump discussed the war in Ukraine with Macron. The Elysee Palace assessed the conversation as very good: "They agreed to remain in close contact to continue discussions on Ukraine and the Middle East."
00:49 Zelensky said he had a "wonderful" phone conversation with Trump: "We agreed to maintain close dialogue and develop our cooperation. Strong and unwavering US leadership is vital for the entire world and for a just world."
Talking is good.
00:14 The Biden administration plans to urgently spend the $6 billion remaining for aid to Ukraine, Politico writes, citing two American officials. The publication recalls that $6 billion is the remainder of the $61 billion in funding approved for Ukraine in April. The funds are divided into two streams: $4.3 billion for replenishing the US Army's stockpiles and $2.1 billion for concluding contracts with American defense companies for the supply of weapons.
At the same time, the sources noted that it typically takes months for purchased ammunition and equipment to reach Ukraine after an aid package is announced, so anything deployed in the coming weeks likely wonât arrive in full before the Trump administration begins. And the next leader could stop the shipments before they even get there.
00:02 In Sumy Oblast, Russians fired at railway infrastructure, a crossing attendant was wounded, Ukrzaliznytsia reported.
