Asia-Pacific States' Drills With Nuclear Arms Within AUKUS to 'Blow Up' Region - Shoigu

KUBINKA (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 16th August, 2022) The use of NATO developments on joint nuclear training within the AUKUS alliance is not excluded, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Tuesday, adding that it will "blow up" the Asia-Pacific region.

According to the minister, the AUKUS alliance has the potential to develop into a military-political union.

It cannot be ruled out that NATO's developments in joint nuclear planning and joint nuclear training of the allies will be transferred to this region.

"The transfer of the practice of nuclear training from Europe will blow up the region. Although it can be assumed that this is precisely the goal set by the United States," the minister said at the Moscow security conference.
