MAD Vladimir Putin's top secret nuclear sites have been exposed, where city-flattening warheads that can reach European capitals within minutes are launched.
The Russian dictator made a chilling announcement in 2018 on the development of a series of new nuclear weapon systems that could put Moscow ahead in the arms race against the West - warning "nobody wanted to listen to us - so listen now".

Now a terrifying, gargantuan upgrade of the military infrastructure at Russia's most protected facilities has been exposed.
Shielded strategically behind the southernmost tip of the Russian Ural Mountains sits one of the globe's most secured military complexes.
And surrounding the tiny Russian town of Yasny - just one of the 11 existing nuclear site locations - mad Vlad can launch land-based, long-range missiles carrying some of the biggest nuclear weapons ever.
Buried missile silos across the bare landscape are ready at any given moment to strike European countries in under just 10 minutes - leaving cities completely decimated.
Images from a decade ago show just one silo lid and a few buildings fenced off.
But now, bases have been expanded, with hundreds of new barracks, watchtowers, control centres and storage buildings created and miles-long underground tunnels excavated.
Since 2019, the Yasny bases have been equipped with Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle which is Russia's new nuclear delivery systems that plays up to Putin's desire to have Moscow at the front of the arms race.
One shocking video allegedly shows missiles equipped with the glide vehicle launching from a Yasny missile site for flight tests in 2018.
There was previously only access to aerial images of the sites.

But now, Danwatch and German Der Spiegel has accessed over two million leaked documents relating to Russian military procurement, revealing entire massive bases have been rebuilt.
The discovery of the new systems marks a "whole new chapter" on the development of nuclear powers' arsenals, with blueprints left unseen since the 1970s, nuclear information expert Hans M. Kristensen said.
He added that as there hasn't been any on-site inspection of nuclear sites between the US and Russia since April 2020, the exposed documents are crucial in understanding what Russia's intentions are with their program.
NUKE MODERNISATION
Documents have revealed that deliveries of gargantuan quantities of steel, sand, cement, bricks and insulation have been made over the years.
Alongside this, other chilling items like IT systems, electrical installations and water, heating and ventilation routing were deployed at the sites.
These materials were presumably put towards Russia's new security systems.
The bases boast three layers of electric fences along its outer perimeter, equipped with sensors for seismic and radioactivity.
Unbreakable, explosion-proof doors and windows have also been developed alongside concrete buildings for optimum protection.
And to ward off any potential intruders, alarm systems with magnetic contacts are in place with infrared sensors.
Extensive electronic surveillance have also been installed, with remote-controlled machine guns and automatic grenade launchers.
A modern air defense is also in place.
Meanwhile on the inside, documents describe in heavy detail where soldiers reside and what facilities they use to ensure ultimate protection of the top-secret base.
Soldiers play peak cognitive performance games like checkers and chess, and work out using strengthening equipment like weights and running machines.
Signs on the wall of the base also read "Stop! Turn around! Forbidden zone!" or "The Military Oath".
The chilling signals are written to ward off those who wander near the control rooms, as well as to signpost which buildings connect to one another through underground tunnels.

RUSSIA'S STRATEGIC MISSILE FORCES
Documents have exposed how Russia's Strategic Missile Forces are able to launch heft nuclear bombs from buried silos or vehicles.
Air and sea-based nuclear weapons are also able to get launched from special bomber aircraft or submarines.
But the extreme nuclear weaponry has even been dubbed by the Forces as being a 'last resort'.
There are close to a whopping 900 operational nuclear warheads at the missile bases, with the intercontinental missiles able to launch them and decimate anywhere they reach.
Although the weapons can be used, experts say that Russia understand that they would not be used lightly, and only in a global war scenario.
But the official motto of the Forces serves as a harrowing warning to the West: "After us - silence."
Mad Vlad has said previously that Russia wouldn't be the first to use nuclear weapons and that the country is merely preparing in case of attack.
He explained: "Yes, it looks like we are sitting on our hands and waiting until someone uses nuclear weapons against us.
"Well, yes, this is what it is. But then any aggressor should know that retaliation is inevitable and they will be annihilated."
PROCEDURES EXPOSED
Russia's modernisation of its nuclear capabilities is something that Western intelligence agencies have consistently followed, sources told Danwatch and Der Spiegel.
As Putin's puppets continue to threatened nuclear Armageddon on the West, European countries have increased defence spending, with one expert arguing that it's within public interest to know what is occurring at Russian nuclear bases.
Tom Roseth told the Danish and German news sites: "It's important that we have a correct understanding of the situation, because there are still many who don't fully recognise the situation Europe is in now, which is a fundamental shift in security policy.
"Therefore it's important to show that Russia has modernized its nuclear arsenal.
"They have, after all, threatened with nuclear weapons regularly during the Ukraine war.
"It has public relevance that Russia is capable – and it's even more important because they have adjusted their nuclear doctrine and now have a lower threshold for the use of nuclear weapons."
Despite the two bases in Yasny now on active combat alert, documents being leaked could now mean Russian authorities are forced to investigate whether changes must be made, Tom added.
He explained: "They will certainly evaluate whether they can reduce the vulnerabilities that has been revealed. That could for example be new laying new cable routes, or reinforcing certain places with concrete. The problem is that it costs a lot of money to change the infrastructure at these facilities."

Two fans die and officer in coma after Champions League celebrations in France

A 17-year-old boy was stabbed to death in the city of Dax during a PSG street party after Saturday night's final in Munich, the national police service said. A man was killed in Paris when his scooter was hit by a car during PSG celebrations, the interior minister's office said. The circumstances of both are being investigated. A police officer was hit accidentally by fireworks in Coutance in north-west France and placed in an artificial coma because of grave eye injuries, the national police service said. Hundreds of people were arrested in the celebrations, which were largely peaceful but degenerated into violence in some areas. Supporters celebrate a PSG goal outside a cafe in Paris (Aurelien Morissard/AP) The team are expected to return to a big parade on the Champs-Elysees on Sunday, after clinching their first Champions League title with a 5-0 win over Inter Milan. At the top of the Champs-Elysees avenue, a water cannon was used to protect the Place de l'Etoile, near the landmark Arc de Triomphe. Police said a large crowd not watching the match tried to push through a barrier to make contact with police. By 2am Sunday, 294 arrests had been made, including 30 people who broke into a shoe shop on the Champs-Elysees. Two cars were set alight close to Parc des Princes, police added. Fireworks explode in Paris (Aurelien Morissard/AP) At the Place de la Bastille, there were joyous scenes as fans climbed on to the base of the column, singing, dancing and letting off flares, while those around joined in. At one point, motorbikes loudly revved their engines and the crowd cheered as they did laps around the column. There were no police nearby and, by 1am, the atmosphere was upbeat with no tensions and plenty of singing. Security had been tightened in anticipation of potential post-match violence and 5,400 police officers were deployed on the Champs-Elysees, other key parts of Paris, and its nearby suburbs.

Ukraine ‘strikes Russian airfields destroying nuke bombers' in huge drone blitz as footage shows aircraft up in flames

TWO major Russian airbases holding nuclear warplanes have reportedly been blitzed in a targeted drone strike - landing a huge blow to Putin's war. A Ukrainian Security official told Reuters that the SBU conducted a large drone attack on over 40 Russian military aircraft. 3 Olenya nuclear bomber air base in Murmansk region was ablaze today after a suspected drone strike Credit: East2West 3 Olenya air base holds nuclear capable war planes Credit: East2West 3 A devastating drone strike has hit Putin's airbases Credit: East2West The source did not specify where the drone attack took place, but Ukrainian media said that Olenya airbase - home to Russia's Tu-95 strategic bombers - had been targeted. The second base under fire is understood to be the Belaya nuclear airbase in eastern Siberia's Irkutsk region - some 2,900 miles from Ukraine. Extraordinary footage showed smoked billowing from mad Vlad's bases as Russian troops watched on in horror. Ukraine's Pravda Gerashchenko Telegram channel said: 'A special operation 'Web' is being conducted to demilitarise Russia. 'The [SBU] report the destruction of Russian bomber aircraft behind enemy lines." They added: 'In particular, the destruction of more than 40 aircraft, including A-50, Tu-95 and Tu-22M3.' Local residents reported hearing explosions as swathes of Ukrainian UAVs struck Putin's bases. Both airfields are miles from the bloody frontline, but were still "under drone attack" by Ukrainian forces. The attack is believed to have been launched from within Russia, possibly from inside trucks driving nearby their targets. It marks one of the bleakest days of the war for Russian President Vladimir Putin who is continuing to relentlessly blitz Ukraine. Ukraine's SBU secret service was reportedly conducting a large-scale special operation to destroy Russian bombers. Local media in Ukraine claimed more than 40 of bloodthirsty Putin's aircraft had been hit. This included the infamous Tu-95, as well as the Tu-22M3, and A-50 strategic bombers. A report said the driver of the truck that released the drones "may not have known" that his vehicle was full of the Ukrainian UAVs. According to Baza media, the driver has since been detained. Local media said: "A truck stopped at a gas station at the entrance to the city. "Drones started flying out of the back of the truck and then attacked various objects." More to follow...
