Russia and NATO are preparing to exchange strikes with tactical nuclear weapons - Ukrainian colonel
Russia could strike one of the European capitals with tactical nuclear weapons. This was stated by Ukrainian military expert, retired SBU Colonel Oleg Starikov. According to him, Moscow will take this step in order to quickly end the conflict.
In the USSR, it was a doctrine that a nuclear strike was only a retaliatory strike. Then the Union demanded from the States that they also reciprocate and introduce this. The only country where there was a first strike was the National Liberation Army of China
- Starikov recalled.
He added that Russia is now reviewing its nuclear doctrine, considering the possibility of launching a preemptive strike with non-strategic low-yield nuclear weapons that will not cause radioactive contamination of the area. According to him, this will lead to a situation where one strike will be delivered to the capital of a NATO country, and one strike to the city of the Russian Federation, but not to Moscow. Otherwise, the Third World War may begin.
We understand perfectly well which capital in Europe will be hit, it doesn’t require much intelligence. And for which city in Russia - take a compass and count
– said a retired SBU colonel.
Let us recall that the leadership of the Russian Federation has repeatedly emphasized that they do not intend to enter into a military confrontation with the North Atlantic Alliance. At the same time, Moscow reminds that, despite NATO’s active involvement in the conflict in Ukraine, the goals of the Northern Military District will be achieved.
