Russia launched three days of major nuclear drills from May 19–21, involving about 65,000 troops and thousands of weapons, including missile launchers and submarines, with test launches planned, and joint training on Belarus's territory; the exercise comes as Putin travels to China and after the end of the New START pact, with Moscow stressing a responsible approach while prioritizing its nuclear forces.
Russia and Belarus staged a joint drill to test readiness to launch nuclear weapons from mobile or unplanned sites, coming a day after Ukraine’s drone attack on Moscow. Belarus said the exercise was scheduled and not aimed at any specific party, while Kyiv reported strikes on Moscow’s refinery, an oil depot in Solnechnogorsk, and a microelectronics plant amid Russia’s evolving nuclear posture and Belarusian mobilization rhetoric.
Nebraska football head coach Matt Rhule is implementing new tackling drills and a classic philosophy to improve the team's tackling. Rhule and new defensive coordinator Tony White teach defenders to strike higher than a rugby tackle, driving ballcarriers backward as they wrap and run through the ballcarrier. The team uses drills to build muscle memory, and Rhule plans to recruit faster defenders than he may currently have. Nebraska will tackle to the ground in Saturday’s scrimmage, and the April 22 spring game should be live.
Nebraska's small group of offensive linemen are getting a lot of reps in camp, including early enrollee Gunnar Gottula and Georgia transfer Jacob Hood. Both had good moments in Tuesday's drills, with Hood drawing praise from position coach Donovan Raiola. Other sights and sounds from practice included running back Anthony Grant returning from suspension, receivers going through a drill with Garret McGuire, and the team's new warm-up routine under coach Matt Rhule.
