The current overall Defcon level OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) estimate is now Defcon level 3. Confused about the Defcon Level Warning System? Read the FAQ on our About Page.
We don't believe the current situation warrants a Defcon Level 2. Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered Russia's nuclear deterrent forces on alert in response to Western sanctions and rising tensions over Putin's invasion on Ukraine.
If the current Defcon level changes from the level it is at now, it will be reflected on the alert status above as well as in any of the Regional News Pages, where you will also find the current Defcon level alert status for each combatant command region and up to date news and news ticker for each region.
