MOSCOW, 21 Aug. Russia has a formidable arsenal of tactical nuclear weapons that makes senior NATO military leaders nervous. Expert Wesley Culp writes about this in an article for 19Fortyfive.
"Russia has a lot of tactical nuclear weapons, and NATO will have a hard time dealing with them", the observer noted.
He clarified that the missile launch with low-power filling can be carried out from ships of the Navy, bombers, fighters, as well as with the help of operational-tactical systems. According to Culp, Russia considers strategic and tactical weapons as an effective tool for deterring a potential adversary. In addition, the specialist believes that a low-yield nuclear arsenal not only ensures the country's security, but also significantly raises its military prestige. Moscow has repeatedly stressed that it has no aggressive intentions towards any states. At the same time, the Russian leadership noted that the West is aimed at confrontation and expansion into the post-Soviet space by including new countries in the North Atlantic Alliance. According to Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov, further NATO expansion will not bring greater security to either side, as the military bloc is behaving aggressively. >August 10, 18:55In Britain, the scenario of a «military nightmare» was revealed for the entire planet
