The U.S. is conducting a national nuclear readiness exercise called "Global Thunder 27," testing military decision-making and response capabilities. The exercise involves increased activity of B-52 bombers and E-6B Mercury aircraft, which serve as airborne command centers. Officials clarified that this annual drill is not a reaction to current global threats, despite ongoing nuclear concerns, particularly from Russia. The exercise began on October 22 and will last for ten days, with various military aircraft observed across the U.S. The U.S. nuclear forces are structured around a triad of land-based missiles, submarine-launched missiles, and long-range bombers, ensuring a robust deterrent capability.
