Possible Russian response to NATO strengthening on its northwestern borders

52

A direct, undesirable, but natural consequence of the special military operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine was the process of accelerated transformation of the anti-Russian NATO bloc, into which new members were now gathering. Tensions on the northwestern border of our country will now rise sharply, and with them, military spending. Let's see what the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation will have to deal with if suddenly, by the grace of our "peacekeepers", a Russophobic regime remains in power in Kyiv, which will continue to be pumped up with Western weapons.

The fact that Russia has switched to a military confrontation with the North Atlantic Alliance can no longer be denied. So far, hostilities are being waged against us on the territory of Ukraine through a “proxy” represented by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the National Guard. But now the whole of North-Eastern Europe is rapidly turning into an anti-Russian stronghold.



Poland


In connection with the events in Nezalezhnaya, it is the Republic of Poland that has the highest chances of directly colliding with Russia for a possible division of Western Ukraine. Warsaw's military preparations can no longer be overlooked. Next year, the defense budget will be increased to 3% of GDP. In the image and likeness of the Ukrainian territorial defense, Poland in 2016 created its own Territorial Defense Forces. The Minister of Defense of the country, Mariusz Blaszczak, announced plans to increase the size of the army from 143 to 300 people, which would make the Polish Army the largest in the Old World. Warsaw also began to actively purchase foreign weapons: Turkish Bayraktar UAVs, American Patriot air defense systems, F-35 fifth-generation fighters, and HIMARS missile and artillery systems. Negotiations are underway to acquire 250 Abrams tanks.

A direct clash between the Polish army and the Russian army is possible in Western Ukraine, depending on how serious Moscow and Warsaw have plans for it.

Baltic


To date, the NATO bloc has created four strike groups in the Baltics at once, armed with tanks, artillery and all the necessary reconnaissance equipment. Each of them has more than 10 thousand military personnel. According to some military experts, in the future the number of the military contingent of the North Atlantic Alliance in this region may increase by another 4 times.

A direct military clash between NATO and the Russian army is possible when the latter tries to break through the so-called Suwalki corridor through the territory of Lithuania or Poland, which will be inevitable in the event of a land and sea blockade of the Kaliningrad region.

Northern Europe


The most unpleasant consequence of the NWO in Ukraine was the pronounced desire of Finland and Sweden to join the North Atlantic Alliance. And NATO looks at this with great approval, which was personally confirmed by German Foreign Minister Annalena Burbock:

If Finland and Sweden decide to do so, then welcome.

This decision can seriously change the balance of power in Northern Europe. Recall that Russia has a common border with Finland 1300 kilometers long, and from it to St. Petersburg, the second largest metropolis, is within easy reach. The neutral status of the northern neighbors for a long time allowed the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation not to keep significant military contingents there. Now everything will change for the worse.

At first, both Finland and Sweden, formally not being members of NATO, have Armed Forces de facto created according to NATO standards.

Secondly, the accession of Finland to the North Atlantic Alliance finally turns the Baltic Sea into a NATO inland sea. The Navy, equipped with a large number of high-speed missile boats and minesweepers, will allow Helsinki to easily block the exit of Russian ships from the Gulf of Finland with minefields, interrupting sea communication with Kaliningrad.

Thirdly, strike weapons from the NATO bloc can be deployed on the territory of neighboring Finland, and the country's air force has purchased a batch of American fifth-generation F-35 fighters capable of carrying nuclear weapons.

All this poses a huge and very real threat to both the Kaliningrad region and the second largest Russian metropolis, St. Petersburg.

What will answer?


In response, the Russian Defense Ministry will have to draw up significant forces in the northwestern direction. Near St. Petersburg, it will be necessary to deploy on a permanent basis a combined arms formation of up to 10 people. To protect this strategically important industrial cluster, it will be necessary to form a powerful layered air defense / missile defense system. The border with the northern neighbors will be constantly patrolled by reconnaissance drones. Aviation will have to be on duty in the number one readiness mode, that is, constantly be in shifts in the air. Otherwise, alas, there is no way, since there are only 200 kilometers from the Finnish border to St. Petersburg, enemy missiles will fly over it very quickly.

It will also have to further militarize the Kaliningrad region. Nuclear weapons can be placed in the Russian exclave, as Dmitry Medvedev, deputy head of the Security Council, directly stated:

Seriously strengthen the grouping of ground forces and air defense, deploy significant naval forces in the waters of the Gulf of Finland. In this case, it will no longer be possible to talk about any non-nuclear status of the Baltic - the balance must be restored.


Apparently, we are talking about the Iskander-M OTRK with nuclear warheads, storage facilities for which were already built in advance in the Kaliningrad region. The Russian Strategic Missile Forces will now be forced to target Finland and Sweden as well.

There is not the slightest doubt that the Russian Defense Ministry's retaliatory actions will entail further steps by the NATO bloc to escalate pre-war tensions. The military contingents will grow on both sides, North-Eastern Europe will be pumped with weapons, military budgets will grow, and the Western military-industrial complex will count profits. For Russia, such an arms race in the region, while there are active hostilities in Ukraine, is extremely disadvantageous.

Therefore, it is necessary to smash the Armed Forces of Ukraine as soon as possible, take the territory of the former Square under control, up to the admission of the South-East into the Russian Federation, make Little Russia a buffer state under the protectorate of Moscow and build a new border with Poland. Otherwise, the Russian army may simply not be enough for all areas at once, which, in fact, is what the Pentagon is trying to achieve.

      Actually, it hasn't happened yet. No closer, no more. But how it suddenly became richer is not a fact at all. Who and by how much in the end will increase costs remains to be seen. Maybe it won't even cover inflation.

        And what is real - promises were made to double the budget of the military-industrial complex in the coming years. Shrinkage, shakedown, but the NATO budget, which is already growing thanks to statements like "2000 selected Armata tanks will surf the space steppes ....." will become even noticeably richer.

    Despite the actual location of the Finno-Swedish agglomeration - in Finland, almost the entire population still knows Swedish - in the NATO system, formal membership in the bloc will entail a dramatic change in the structure of the armed forces.
    St. Petersburg is close, by the way, not only to Finland, the Baltic "tigers" have been two steps away for twenty years now. Therefore, a sharp increase in costs is unlikely, but the pancake will have to increase!
    Unfortunately, it is impossible to cope with the Armed Forces of Ukraine quickly, especially considering the inexplicably careful attitude of our Supreme Commander to the command centers of the Square and to Zele. But we must strive for Poland as quickly as possible, although I personally believe that a direct conflict with the Commonwealth is inevitable even before autumn. And, unfortunately, we are still reacting, not ahead of the curve.

    The fact that these actions of the West are the result of our special operation is not true.
    This is the printable version of our enemy.
    The truth is that everything that happens is part of a plan they have developed.
    The truth is that our special operation, willingly or unwillingly, helped them to realize this plan.
    What is our mistake?
    I think that instead of the correct, but difficult and risky, seemingly UNREACHABLE decision to stop the States themselves, we have chosen a decision that seems to us AVAILABLE and less risky - to stop their weapon - Ukraine. And limited to just that.
    The perversity of this decision is that the enemy, unaffected by us, is free to strengthen his weapon, and even take up another one. Our problem is not in the weapons used by the enemy, but in him, in his intention to destroy us.
    We are still fighting in Ukraine, grinding with our best forces and weapons the "scrap" of its Western armies, and Poland is still in its sleeve, Russia's war with NATO for Kaliningrad, Russia's war with Japan for the islands. Probably there are other blanks.
    We need to stop the States themselves, no matter how difficult and risky it may seem.
    I think that the problem of the country's leadership lies in its limitation only to solutions that seem to him POSSIBLE AND AVAILABLE.
    Meanwhile, the situation urgently requires to proceed from NECESSARY decisions, and transfer them to an accessible area, even if it is difficult and risky.

                Let's go from the other end. What specifically threatens the Russian Federation now?

                The answer is:
                - The ever-increasing grouping of NATO troops on our borders
                - Strategic bombers practicing strikes at our borders on our territory
                - Ukraine's plans for conducting military operations on the territory of Russia
                - Deliveries of weapons to Ukraine from the NATO bloc
                - The accelerated movement of the States towards the adoption of hypersonic weapons
                - NATO bases on our borders, capable of covertly hosting the potential for a disarming strike
                - Bacteriological laboratories on our borders preparing for the initiation of epidemics on our territory
                - NATO ships whose grouping near our borders is constantly increasing
                - Economic sanctions that limit the possibilities and time allotted for Russia to rebuild the economy and repel the blow
                - Transport blockade of Russia - limiting all of the above
                - The vulnerability of a number of regions of Russia to attack from outside, as well as the whole of Russia due to the high length of its borders
                - Encouragement by the Americans of the territorial claims of their allies to Russia
                - The experience of the States in conducting complex (multi-domain) operations in various countries of the world
                etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.
                The states, in my opinion, may well use ALL OF THIS as part of a complex (multi-domain) strategic operation against our strategic nuclear forces and the decision-making system on the use of nuclear weapons, with a high probability of success

                  Over the past 35 years, the grouping has decreased, if not by an order of magnitude, then at times. In 86, the US grouping in Europe is 350 thousand, in January 2022 60 thousand. The army of Germany is 100 thousand, in the eighties half a million. Now of course all this will increase.

                  Some kind of conspiracy again? Is this some type of network-centric war? And what, can the United States launch a disarming strike on the Russian Federation? No, he can not.

                  Quote: Alexey Davydov
                  The states, in my opinion, may well use ALL OF THIS as part of a complex (multi-domain) strategic operation against our strategic nuclear forces and the decision-making system on the use of nuclear weapons, with a high probability of success

                  Your opinion is wrong. There was a period in history, from about the beginning of the 50s to the first half of the 60s, when the US had an overwhelming advantage in nuclear forces. Then they could destroy the USSR with almost 100% probability without receiving a retaliatory strike on US territory. Now, even theoretically, this cannot be. There will be no winners in the war between the Russian Federation and the United States, both countries will turn into radioactive ashes. It is impossible to withdraw all strategic nuclear forces of the Russian Federation with 100% reliability. The United States has neither the strength nor the means to do so.

                  And you, because of your erroneous opinion, are proposing a nuclear war.

                  Quote: Alexey Davydov
                  decision-making systems for the use of nuclear weapons, with a high probability of success

                  Read about the Perimeter system. Even the destruction of the entire leadership of the country will not save the United States from a retaliatory strike.

                  Where do you get such defeatism from?

    In response, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation will have to draw up significant forces in the northwestern direction. Near St. Petersburg, it will be necessary to deploy on a permanent basis a combined arms formation of up to 10 people.

    Isn't it easier to place tactical nuclear weapons near the borders of Finland, and notify the Finns about this in advance?

      And what about the Finns? The States do it. Finns are extras. The states hold in their hands the leadership of Finland and, probably, its media (ie, the brains of its people). There is no one to threaten.
      Our nuclear weapons near the borders of Finland are useless. Nuclear weapons near the borders of the States are a completely different matter

        No, no Finns are extras. The states have been trying to persuade Finland to join NATO since Soviet times, but without result. The Finns agreed to this only now, polls of the population indicate this, but if they know that the NATO group in their country will be stopped asymmetrically from the Russian side, that is, by deploying tactical nuclear weapons, they may change their mind

          Do you think that the same people are now sitting in the leadership of Finland? Or - that Finland is now all the same? A lot of water and people have flown under the bridge since then, something completely different has flowed. Not only in Finland - everywhere in the West. The results of the work of the Americans.
          Do you remember how smoothly the leadership of the EU countries recently executed the oratorio of global sanctions directly to the detriment of their own countries (perhaps to themselves)? How could this be in Soviet times?
          The Americans have completely changed the Western world.
          Now the consent of the Finns is simply a consequence of the fact that the Americans finally needed them. The population here has nothing to do with it, and the results of the polls say what the Americans need

    Nothing prevents NATO from deploying strike systems on the territory of the Baltic states yesterday. Therefore, the accession to NATO of Finland and Sweden does not fundamentally change anything strategically.
    In the event of a war with NATO, the Russian Federation has no chance of winning due to the overwhelming preponderance of NATO in industrial and mobilization potential.
    Therefore, the only means of deterrence is the nuclear triad of the Russian Federation, and in particular the so-called. "dead hand" - an automated system of retribution. As Vladimir Putin said about this, we will die, but they will also die.

    The topic is very relevant and the author rightly voiced it. It is a pity that he gives inaccurate information, forcing the situation. When asked to give a link where he saw such a concentration of NATO troops on our borders, he calmed down and pretended not to hear. In the event of a complete blockade of Kaliningrad, the number of NATO troops will not matter much, since tactical nuclear weapons will most likely be used. For another answer, we simply do not have enough strength, or we will have to declare total mobilization and the transfer of industry to wartime.

    We need to take our partners closest to the United States and place nuclear weapons with them. The Cuban Missile Crisis was like this. At the same time, the USSR brought nuclear weapons to Cuba. The states screwed up and backtracked.

      This is true. And this approach is not outdated. Only we don't need Cuba for this. There are (hopefully) other, more effective means. It's just that our leadership needs to gain courage and responsibility for the future of the country, and not save these funds for "the most, most, most ... extreme case", that is, for senseless revenge, losing precious chances of winning
