some points
1. It is believed the test violated the 2010 new start treaty
2. The aim of the test was to prepare for a full scale nuclear attack from the USA and NATO
3. China will be joining Russia in the tests soon

Russian President Vladimir Putin has overseen test launches of the country’s most powerful rockets.
Putin reportedly said the exercises simulated a retaliatory nuclear strike.
It comes after Britain said it had deployed a destroyer to track a Russian aircraft carrier sailing close to its coastal waters.
“Today, as part of the planned events, we will activate all the different armed forces of the Russian Federation, over all of the territory of Russia,” explained Putin, adding, “Including the nuclear forces.”
