Russia maintains its de facto moratorium on explosive nuclear tests despite de-ratifying the CTBT in 2023 and the February 2026 expiration of New START, with trader consensus assigning low probability to a full-yield detonation by late 2026. Moscow continues non-explosive modernization through ICBM launches such as the May 2026 Sarmat success, canceled Avangard preparations in September, Poseidon torpedo trials including a claimed October 2025 reactor activation and a recent scrubbed Belgorod attempt, and routine strategic force exercises simulating nuclear authorization. Activity at the Novaya Zemlya site draws ongoing scrutiny, yet no credible reports confirm a fission or fusion chain-reaction test. These developments reinforce the view that Russia favors signaling and conventional missile advances over resuming explosive testing amid sanctions constraints and escalation risks.
