SIRENS blared out across Russia today and children donned gas masks as part of a
terrifying drill for an incoming nuclear attack.

The eerie siren could be heard across the country and chilling messages were
broadcast live as Putin forced his citizens to endure a WW3 drill.

Chilling footage even shows schoolchildren being taught how to correctly don gas
masks.

Sirens and loudspeakers were sounded in all regions across Russia’s 11 time
zones in drills that spawned two days. 

It was Russia's first nationwide civil defence exercise as Putin  indoctrinates
his people about the danger of the West triggering nuclear war. 

A message sounded declaring: "Attention everyone," as a bone chilling alarm
bellowed out in cities and towns everywhere.



Emergency services gathered in hazmat suits to carry out protocol as part of Mad
Vlad's sick exercise.

One group ran from a building with a dummy body on a stretcher accompanied by a
pack of dogs.

Heavily armoured and spiked doors also appeared to close off an underground
bunker holding officials and Russian police.

Chilling messages were splashed on TV screens as programmes were interrupted.

They read: “Attention, everyone!

“There is a check of readiness of the warning system to the population.

“Please remain calm.”

The same wording boomed out from loudspeakers nationwide. 

Firefighters rushed to put out a blaze as ambulances and other teams worked
around them during the surreal exercise.

Workers wearing eerie hazmat suits also stuck signs into the ground on the side
of the road.

The exercise was based on the assumption of a giant nuclear attack from the
West. 



The ‘legend’ assumed martial law had been introduced and that Russian had gone
through full mobilisation.

In one city Volgograd, two shelters were used as part of the drill. 

One could accommodate up to 36,000 people. 

“The main goal of the drills is to check our readiness for specific
actions,” said emergencies minister Alexander Kurenkov who oversaw the drills. 

In a real nuclear war, Vladimir Putin would be calling the shots. 

He is known to have multiple nuclear bunkers in his palaces as well as a fleet
of ‘Doomsday’ Il-80 Maxdome aircraft for use in the event of atomic war. 

It is unclear whether he played any secret role in the drills on Tuesday and
today. 



In Moscow, alarms were supposed to go off at 10:43am for one minute, although
some sounded at night and other residents heard nothing at all.

Many residents in other cities like Novosibirsk and Vladivostok heard nothing. 

The emergency alert tests occurred just a few hours after the Russian defence
ministry claims to have shot down 31 Ukrainian drones.

In a statement on Telegram, the defence ministry said: "Attempts by the Kyiv
regime to carry out terrorist attacks on targets on the territory of the Russian
Federation were stopped."



But Irina Tsukerman, a national security lawyer and geopolitical analyst, told
The Express: "Putin is not seriously concerned about possibility of a nuclear or
other major scale attack by Nato.

"The practice of martial law is particularly useful as Putin continues to crack
down and isolate Russia from external influence.

"In reality, Russia is not preparing for a nuclear attack; it's preparing for a
long-term imposition of internal restrictions, such as martial law."

The United States is also due to carry out a wide scale check of its public
warning systems today - using mobile phones, as well as television and radio
channels.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency said: the purpose of the test is to
ensure the systems "continue to be effective in alerting the public to
emergencies, particularly at the national level."

It comes amid fears Putin is preparing to fire a nuclear missile as a birthday
gift to himself.
