A report published by the "News Re" website revealed that the Russian army is working on crystallizing a new type of military operation that includes the use of nuclear capabilities in order to prevent any possible nuclear aggression from the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
The report stated that the magazine "Military Thought" of the Russian Ministry of Defense published an article about the so-called "Protection Operation" written by Igor Vasaletdinov, First Deputy Commander of the Strategic Missile Forces, and retired Colonel Vladimir Lumbov, in which they explained that the United States plans to destroy Russia within the framework of "Operation multimodal strategy.
They explained that achieving that goal requires the use of nuclear weapons, due to Washington's gradual loss of influence on the international arena, and the limited options it has except for developing an aggressive political path against Moscow.
Both Vaseldinov and Lumbov believe that the supposed US operation against Russia may include in the first stage the use of an immediate strike, and as part of this process, the Pentagon plans to destroy between 65% and 70% of Russia's strategic nuclear forces, and the destruction of Russian missile defense systems, followed by a nuclear strike. enough to destroy Russia.
strategic deterrence
The article indicated that the Russian armed forces are working to develop a "strategic deterrence" process, which includes the use of offensive and defensive strategic weapons - nuclear and modern non-nuclear - taking into account the latest military technologies, in response to the aggressor's actions.
According to the report, Russia needs to prove to Washington its ability to deter, as well as develop a set of tools to show the US military-political leadership the impossibility of causing serious damage to the Russian strategic missile forces, and that the United States will be the one affected.
Only intimidation
The site quoted a professor of political science at the Center for Military and Political Studies at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, Mikhail Alexandrov, as saying that the American plans to destroy Russia using nuclear weapons are aimed at intimidation only.
The development of a plan to launch a nuclear strike against Russia depends on the assumption of some Western experts that the Russian nuclear forces have lost their combat readiness.
Supporters of this theory attribute the Kremlin's decision to suspend the New START treaty to Russia's unwillingness to show the Americans old nuclear facilities.
On the other hand, military expert Alexander Khrulenko describes these statements as a great delusion, especially in light of the realization of senior military officials in the United States that there is a complete system of nuclear weapons in Russia, and this is evident in the call of US Secretary of the Army Christine Wermot to conduct an accurate assessment of Russia's military capabilities. current.
confrontation scenario
According to the magazine "Military Thought" - says "News Re" - the conflict between Moscow and Washington may go through 3 stages: the first is the blocking stage, which is the implementation of a counterattack by Russian forces in response to the immediate global strike that may be carried out by US forces.
The second stage is described as the "penetration stage", during which the global US missile defense system is penetrated by assembling Russian non-nuclear strategic forces.
While the last stage is described as the "revenge stage", during which the planet Earth witnesses the exchange of nuclear strikes by Russia and the United States.
