Nikolai Bulganin was a Soviet politician who served as the Premier of the Soviet Union from 1955 to 1958. During the Suez Crisis in 1956, he explicitly warned David Ben-Gurion that the Soviet Union was capable of attacking with "remote-controlled vehicles" and threatened to send troops as "volunteers" into the Middle East. This warning, perceived as a nuclear ultimatum, contributed to Britain and France's decision to cease their military actions and forced Israel to agree to a cease-fire.1
