Russia can cause NATO defeat by non -strategic nuclear weapons - Iiss

Russia can strike non -strategic nuclear weapons, given that NATO will not have the determination to take the appropriate step, according to experts of the International Institute for Strategic Studies. The war in Ukraine proved to Russia that non -patient nuclear weapons can be a means of deterrent to NATO's defeat in a potential future conflict. This is stated in the report of the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), reports Reuters.

The author of the report, the director of strategy, technology and control over the weapons of IISS, William Alberke, believes that Moscow has begun to consider non -training nuclear weapons as a more effective "means of deterrent to NATO in a potential future conflict. " The expert believes that the Russian authorities do not consider a serious threat to the American arsenal of tactical nuclear weapons.

According to IISS, Moscow is convinced that it will be able to respond in a timely manner to increase the US nuclear presence in Europe. "To rethink the role of nuclear weapons, Moscow has led to the inability of the Russian army to win the war in Ukraine with conventional weapons," Alberke notes. Moreover, the expert is convinced that Western intelligence will be able to learn about Russia's preparation for the use of non -training nuclear weapons in advance.

This is evidenced by the movement of weapons from repositories to air base and possibly the task of ordinary blows near the potential nuclear stroke area. At this point, Putin should also move to a nuclear shelter and bring the entire Russian nuclear command system to a state of increased combat readiness in the event of a US nuclear response.

We will remind, Focus has already reported that major NATO countries do not want to check whether Russian nuclear weapons are working, so they will not be transferred to the Armed Forces of long -term missiles for blows to the Russian Federation. Ukraine must develop its own weapons. Earlier it was said that Russia was deploying its nuclear weapons in Belarus.
