Kremlin Warns The US Of Nuclear Retaliation If Russia Or Her Allies Are Targeted

Kremlin Warns The US Of Nuclear Retaliation If Russia Or Her Allies Are Targeted , Eurasia Times , 10 Aug 20, By Tim Edwards In a veiled warning to the US, Russia has issued a statement declaring that it will perceive any ballistic missile launched towards its territory as a nuclear attack that will warrant a nuclear retaliation.In an article published in the official military newspaper Krasnaya Zvezda (Red Star) senior officers of the Russian military’s General Staff, Major Gen. Andrei Sterlin and Col. Alexander Khryapin, stated that since there will be no way to determine if an incoming ballistic missile is fitted with a nuclear or a conventional warhead hence the military will see it as a nuclear attack.

The article follows the publication in June of Russia’s nuclear deterrent policy that envisages the use of atomic weapons in response to what could be a conventional strike targeting the nation’s critical government and military infrastructure……

The statement is reflective of Moscow’s longtime concerns about the development of weapons that could give Washington the capability to knock out key military assets and government facilities without resorting to atomic weapons.

In line with Russian military doctrine, the new nuclear deterrent policy reaffirmed that the country would not withhold using nuclear weapons in response to a nuclear attack or aggression involving conventional weapons that “threatens the very existence of the state.”…….

The published article maintained that the publication of the new nuclear deterrent policy was intended to unambiguously describe what Russia sees as aggression. https://eurasiantimes.com/kremlin-warns-the-us-of-nuclear-retaliation-if-russia-or-her-allies-are-targeted/
