Ukraine news LATEST: Inside Putin’s massive arsenal as brutal dictator begins ‘super solider’ tests

PUTIN gave the world a glimpse into his staggering arsenal this week, as the dictator claimed his weapons are ‘decades’ ahead of the West. Vladimir Putin gave Ukraine’s allies a frightening look into Russia’s stockpile of weaponry as he attended the country’s annual arms convention on the outskirts of Moscow. From T-72 battle tanks, BMP K-17 armoured trucks and Tulpan self-propelled heavy mortar shells, the convention gave the world a look into Russia’s military capabilities. On top of this, a Russian soldier has been pictured taking part in a “brain test.” The young soldier sat in full military uniform as he was pocked and probed by scientists. This comes after the bloodthirsty dictator claimed genetically-modified “super soldiers” who are incapable of feeling “pain or fear” could soon become a reality. This week has also seen Russian officials admit they would unleash the country’s MASSIVE nuclear stockpile on the world in the right circumstances. Ivan Nechaev, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said in a statement today: “Russian military doctrine allows a nuclear response only in response to the threat of mass destruction, or when the very existence of the state is threatened. “That is, the use of a nuclear arsenal is possible only as part of a response to an attack in self-defence and only in emergencies.” Read our Ukraine-Russia blog below for the latest updates…
