(this is the english translation of an originally french text ) on march 1st, russian president vladimir putin, speaking in front of the federal assembly, the largest gathering of russian federation leaders, spent a good third of his speech on the state of the country to glowingly describe new advanced nuclear weapons, announcing to the world that russia now has extraordinary weapons, without equivalent in any other country, and reinforcing his words with many videos and enthusiastic adjectives. even if proximity of elections should be duly noted – vladimir putin is obviously campaigning for reelection – neglecting these news is impossible, for this is not about electoral marketing only. why have the russian government and armed forces leadership thought it necessary to invest in totally new versions of nuclear weapons, reminding the wildest concepts of the cold war in the 1950s and 60s, which stanley kubrick’s dr. strangelove famously caricatured? why does the russian president think it necessary to announce them precisely now to russia and the world? to begin with, what is the credibility of his speech? those futurist weapons have been represented with computer simulations dating back a decade, which is somewhat at variance with the crushing advance that russian technology is supposed to have reached. above all, the idea that russia has done so much progress is too agreeable for too many people to be entirely above suspicion: not only the russian public who would doubtlessly like to see their country leading the arms race, but also the us government and military-industrial complex, too happy to be given on a plate a pretext for even more defense spending (1) . russia has several times in the past realized remarkable technological feats – first satellite sputnik, first man in space yuri gagarin, nuclear submarine with titanium hull, super-cavitation torpedo etc. but « potemkin village » is also an expression from russian origin, and moscow several times demonstrated mastery of maskirovka, dissimulation and illusion as a war ruse. one undoubtedly needs to take a closer look. why all these futuristic weapons and concepts à la strangelove? what is in fact most remarkable, the fundamental fact that must serve as basis to every discussion of vladimir putin’s speech, is that its declared objective, communicating most clearly to americans that their dreams of effective antimissile shield and all the other star wars are but dreams, was already very largely done with russian nuclear forces “normal” modernization in line with existing weapons, that is new borei -type ssbns, new mobile topol icbms, at most replacement of fixed sites voevoda with sarmat icbms. things were already perfectly clear and the russian deterrent technical credibility could not be doubted, preventing any neocon-like firebrand nor illuminated partisan of world supremacy theories such as pnac (project for a new american century) from missing it. why then all these additional nuclear weaponry programs? here are a few possible rationales, which don’t exclude one another, and may all have contributed: given continuous american efforts in the last three decades in the field of strategic antimissile, including very large r&d credits, moscow has sought a guarantee against a potential american breakthrough – which didn’t take place, but the russians couldn’t be sure in advance – in mode « belt and suspenders ». not only modernization in relatively classical ways such as new and more stealthy ssbns, mobile icbms, maneuvering warheads or south pole bound trajectories, but also several « exotic » projects like very long range heavy nuclear torpedo, nuclear propulsion for cruise missile or air-launched hypersonic missile another part of the context: during maybe two decades, from beginning of 1990s to beginning of 2010s, russia has not maintained continuous at-sea ssbn patrol (2) while a country like france has been maintaining it without interruption since 1974, and the united states for even longer. at the same time, new borei-type ssbns, while stealthier than the old delfin , are generally thought to be somewhat less stealthy than their western counterparts us ohio, french triomphant and british vanguard, just like russian ssns . in other words, russia had more reasons in the 1990s and 2000s to look for alternative ways to secure its second-strike capability than countries like the usa or france, and this may remain true in a certain – albeit limited – way why has work on those projects continued once it became clear that us antimissiles remained just as little convincing as ever, while regular modernization of russian nuclear forces was beginning to yield concrete operational results – first borei ssbn, numerous mobile topol missiles – let’s say in 2012 at the latest? maybe acquired speed in bureaucratic fashion by r&d programs which were already in full swing, maybe a decision to work in mode « belt and suspenders and tungsten-reinforced steel suspenders » in short to pile up securities upon other securities so as to – at last – feel protected. maybe also a bit of techno-promethean delusion, of which americans don’t have a monopoly on another level, moscow may seek to balance at least symbolically the « strategic partnership » with china that it aimed to develop largely starting 2014 following the ukrainian civil war, a partnership which is uncomfortable for russia because it’s about as balanced as a « strategic partnership » between france and the usa would be, a reality that beijing doesn’t forget to take advantage of – gas contracts with prices favorable to china , retrieval of technology of the best operational russian fighters for a pittance – and which xi jinping’s smiles won’t hide forever. from that point of view, when vladimir putin states that « russia’s growing military power is a solid guarantee of global peace as this power preserves and will preserve strategic parity and the balance of forces in the world », he tries to suggest that russia would play an indispensable role as balance to us power, a role that china does not play. let us further cite putin’s clear message following america’s recent nuclear posture review decision to lower the « nuclear threshold » that is the conditions which would warrant us nuclear use, possibly with smaller power, in response to less dangerous attacks, even to a mere cyberattack ! the russian president has clearly stated that any nuclear weapon would be considered as such, whatever its power, which is a warning to the united states in case they would be tempted to switch to nuclear with a too light heart (4) why did he announce precisely now the existence of these weapons? an obvious explanation is elections approaching! two weeks before asking for reelection, telling the russian population who has been fed continuous catastrophist propaganda on tv since 2014 that the us threat is definitively thwarted and russia at last is outside of the danger zone is clearly interesting as electoral propaganda. especially when material situation of most of russian population remains very degraded when compared to the country’s wealth, this in large part because of oligarchs continuing to gather a disproportionate part of gas and oil wealth (3) and no
