Two probable scenarios for the start of a nuclear war are called in Russia

The military confrontation between Russia and the United States may end in a nuclear conflict even if the parties do not want to use it. There are two more likely scenarios for starting a nuclear war. This was told by the head of the Center for International Security IMEMO RAS, Academician Alexei Arbatov, according to RIA News".

Two probable scenarios for the start of a nuclear war are called in Russia




According to the academician, neither Russia nor the United States will go for the deliberate use of nuclear weapons in the event of a conflict, as they understand the consequences of its use and that there will be no winners in such a war. However, there are two more likely scenarios for starting a nuclear apocalypse. According to Arbatov, one cannot disregard the usual technical failure, as a result of which missile attack warning systems will work. If one of the parties responds to a false alarm with a real blow, this may lead to the start of a full-scale nuclear war. Also, this may not be a technical failure, but a provocation organized by terrorists.

The second scenario of the outbreak of a nuclear war involves the escalation of a local military conflict into a global one, when one side, anticipating its loss, uses tactical nuclear weapons to de-escalate, but this does not stop the second side, which also uses nuclear weapons.

The side that will start to lose may decide to use nuclear weapons to a limited extent to stop the conflict and carry out the so-called de-escalation. But in response to this use, the other side will also use nuclear weapons, and so the exchange of attacks will increase along the stairs of escalation: first from the tactical level, then from medium range, and then strategic

- explained Arbatov, adding that the termination of the INF Treaty only "exacerbates the situation."

    "According to Arbatov, one cannot discount the usual technical failure."

    Well, if no one wants to negotiate - you give a technical glitch!
    There is no doubt even who is the first to use tactical nuclear weapons in the event of a local nuclear conflict.
    Of course, Russia, really gentlemen Americans ?!

      The main message: if a friendly gang starts to squeeze somewhere, and they all already have a lot of disgusting F-35, useless Javelins and other tin, then they will see a nuclear mushroom.

      3-th option: reaching the level in missile defense technologies when a retaliatory strike is impossible or practically impossible.

            Mr. Arbatov, apparently, considered the possibility of starting a DB with the use of nuclear weapons only at the Central Election War. But there are other bottlenecks that can act as a fuse for TMV! For example, there are at least 2 "sweet couples": India-Pakistan and Israel-Iran ... Behind each of them is a "sponsor" from the great powers, and none of them will allow infringement of their interests. Therefore, if a vigorous land mine hits, it will be too late to "drink Borjomi": It is easy to release a nuclear genie from storage, but it will be difficult to drive it back there ...
            There is a hotline between the Kremlin and the White House with a red telephone ... Maybe it’s better to call than to sit in an underground shelter for a century?

      Both sides can. It depends exactly on the course of hostilities in the theater of operations.

      True, I think the beginning of the slaughter of nuclear nucleons by Russia is less likely - among the Amers, neither children nor capital are held hostage, unlike the Roselites.

And immediately Donya was blown away and said that Kim is "a great guy".

        Imagine that nuclear weapons appeared in Nazi Germany before the defeat. But its use would “untie” the hands of the allies (also owning it). To what extent would the use of nuclear weapons be in the interests of ordinary Germans (a non-insane dictator)? There are adequate parties to which we can capitulate (allies), but there are none (Reich, Japan of those years).
        Chemistry was not used, because it (in that form) was ineffective.

      Firstly, it still has to fly there, and secondly, it is not a fact that the volcano will react to a regular charge of 400-500 kt, because such a charge is simply not enough to start tectonic processes.
      But that’s not even the point - until the volcano wakes up, we ourselves will rake in to the fullest of their duty forces, because we do not have a missile defense system capable of protecting the whole country, except for the Moscow region.

                  This is not a discovery - there were several scenarios for the use of nuclear weapons, ranging from the detonation of nuclear mines on the German border. You are simply not in the subject, and you have no simpler ideas about this, which is why this discovery is for you.

                  We did not take it seriously into account: in 1966, France left the NATO military organization (although in 2009 it returned) And the French planned to use S-3 against the GDR, which caused a violent reaction from the West Germans ...

                  No need to lie - their flight range was such that they not only hit Moscow, but also many industrial areas of the European part of the USSR.
                  A monoblock warhead TN 61 with a thermonuclear charge of 1,2 Mt was used. The warhead was equipped with a fuse, providing air and contact detonation.
                  ... The maximum range of the S-3 missile was brought up to 3700 km. The probable circular deviation was declared at the level of 700 m. During the flight, the rocket rose to a height of up to 1000 km.

    “Charles Kupperman, Trump’s new national security adviser, is on the line.

    He was a member of the Reagan administration (executive director of the General Advisory Committee on Arms Control and Disarmament) and made the following statements in the TOT PERIOD - of course, that was a long time ago, but he reveals the logic of reasoning perfectly:

    1. In a nuclear war, it is entirely possible to defeat in the classical way; reasoning about it as a total destruction is groundless.

    2. If, for example, US losses can be limited to 20 million people against 150 million, the US will be able to recover and become stronger than the enemy

    3. The United States needs to strengthen planning and civil defense, use reinforced materials in construction - this will reduce the damage from the massive exchange of nuclear strikes with Russia, and accelerate recovery.

    4. Let the recovery take even 15 years. So what? Look at the speed of Europe's recovery after WWII. Or, for example, take a look at Hiroshima - the city went into operational mode only 3 days after we bombed it. "Https://aftershock.news/?q=node/788859&full

    Aw, horror stories again.
    During World War II, even such "aces" as Hitler and Stalin (here the comparison is solely as two leaders at the head of two states possessing a powerful military machine, and not according to political or some other criteria) did not dare to apply OV when the enemy stood on the approach to the capital (that Stalin is 2m, that Hitler is 41m). So no one will use nuclear weapons either.
    Of course, they will object to me now and say that the United States dropped bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. BUT!!! They knew 100% that this would be unpunished, and besides, it was a pure act of intimidation of everyone and everything (including the USSR).
    Now this number will not pass:
    firstly, there are no longer scared.
    secondly, everything will be bad, and the instinct of self-preservation remains even among the most stubborn, and fortunately the USA and the Russian Federation do not suffer from fanaticism.

      The USSR could not apply, for the answer was inevitable, and against the new German agents, he did not have gas masks.

        That's right, and most importantly in all of this - result
        For some reason it seems to me that if a particularly violent patient appears in a hospital (in the world) (a country that wants to use nuclear weapons), then the whole world will "calm down" him without saying a word. Where it is possible with a kind word and pacification, where it is impossible, they simply liquidate it. radiation is such a thing - he does not know state borders and does not understand his / hers. And who wants to suffer because of some kind of psycho?
        In any case, I have had many conflicts in my life when someone from violent (for example, drunk) tried to start sorting out relationships.
        In such cases, I always turn to a more sober friend with the question of whether he understands that his comrade, in the case of a fight, is, to put it mildly, ineffectual, so I will fight with him, and not with a drunk man.
        Practice shows that in such cases, even if she was sober and so violent, too violent, friends begin to calm him down - this is a natural process.

    According to Arbatov, one cannot disregard the usual technical failure, as a result of which missile attack warning systems will work. If one of the parties responds to a false alarm with a real blow, this may lead to the start of a full-scale nuclear war.

    It’s some kind of amateurish nonsense, because the warning system is the very last stage of the response of our armed forces leadership to the attack, after they have already received information from strategic intelligence systems about preparations for delivering such an attack by the enemy. I immediately recall the myth about the actions of one lieutenant colonel from the KP of the warning system about the attack, which supposedly prevented the world from the third world war, when there was a false positive in computer systems. In general, another tale for the illiterate is to hide the preparations for a nuclear war, it is simply impossible, if only because of the evacuation of the highest official structures of our enemy and the preparation of their armed forces to repel a retaliatory strike.
    The second scenario of the outbreak of a nuclear war involves the escalation of a local military conflict into a global one, when one side, anticipating its loss, uses tactical nuclear weapons to de-escalate, but this does not stop the second side, which also uses nuclear weapons.

    Again, some amateurish nonsense - why should we get into a local conflict with the Americans, using tactical nuclear weapons at first, if we know that we must immediately destroy them using the full potential of the strategic nuclear forces so that we ourselves are not destroyed. And to imagine that because of some Papuans we will begin to use tactical nuclear weapons against the Americans, it can only occur to a sick person. Even in Yugoslavia, when our army was not at its best, Western commanders didn’t have to destroy our paratroopers after a march to Pristina - this is the best evidence that Western military professionals are well aware of the power of our army and will never climb on rampage .
    In general, it is less necessary to listen to people like Arbatov - these pseudo-scientific "academicians" are still dreamers, and often they have no idea at all how everything works in the armed forces.

Apparently, a bad example of the programs "Time Will Show" and "60 Minutes", where the theater of the absurd reigns, is contagious. Now all kinds of "experts" in the field of politics, geopolitics, stylistics are racing towards a "possible conflict". If everything is so, maybe we'd better start restoring the shelters ??? And not with tongues

    That case when the situation is stalemate. And without nuclear weapons it is impossible, otherwise TMV will begin tomorrow, and nuclear weapons are too dangerous.
    No one can offer a way out of this situation.

      Agree
      and nuclear weapons are too dangerous
      Since 1945, we somehow live in the Nuclear Era and continue to live calmly (well, maybe not calmly).
      This is the paradoxical case when the more weapons, the less chance of war.

    It can start with the explosion of a single nuclear bomb. May start with explosions of two nuclear bombs. It can begin by throwing stones, feces and severed hands and feet, already baked.

    if a vigorous mine hits, it will be too late to "drink Borjomi": It is easy to release a nuclear genie from storage, but it will be difficult to drive it back there ...

    ... there is still an unaccounted for 3 option, the provocation of the "deep government" - the detonation of a nuclear land mine on their territory, which they "highlighted" will impose on Russia. And this automatically triggers the logic of a nuclear war.

      To do this, the "deep rulers" need to be 99 (9)% confident in victory, otherwise it will be a particularly sophisticated version of collective suicide. But they do not have such confidence and are unlikely to appear.

      I don't know if "primary devices" exist today at all. And a failure and a mobile phone can give. But you can reboot it. But you can reboot the communication system in the FIG Perimeter when "if that". It seems to me that for 20 years the Russian Federation has had one strategy in this matter - if that is what, 5% of our warheads will be enough for everyone. That is what we live.

        It’s hard to say exactly how long it will fly, but thirty years ago the Americans considered it unacceptable for them to hit 100 nuclear charges of 500 kt or more on their territory, because this would lead to complete chaos even because of the secondary consequences of such an attack.
        I think that this will always restrain them, while we are able to provide them with this. The main thing is cheap and cheerful.

    The third option is possible if weapons are created that are superior to nuclear, but not so toxic.

    Somehow Putin said why peace is needed if Russia does not exist in it. Russia will apply ya.o. when it will threaten her with complete destruction. Khrushchev also told the Americans that in the USSR there is a 100 megaton bomb, if the USSR would face an imminent death, then this bomb would be used even if the globe was split.

      Nikita Sergeevich at one time received the nickname "Nikita the Miracle Worker" - we did not have such charges then, because on Novaya Zemlya they experienced a smaller charge.

          I know this version, but the matter is not even in the charge itself, but in the fact that it was a prototype, and not a regular charge.

    Well, the first option, all the same, it will be necessary to prepare. Bring the heat to the limit, worsen relations to the brink of war ... then the failure will be so believable that a nuclear war will begin.
    But the second option seems more plausible to me if the superpowers continue to unleash and participate in proxy wars.
    I'm wondering what Trump is hoping for with his anti-Russian hysteria? That there are enough prudent people in Russia who will continue to allow the United States to do whatever they want? Lizh would not bring God forbid to "system failure"? So in my opinion, patience has run out ...

    And here I think this way: - our (selling) so-called elite has accounts over the hill, real estate, as well as their families there too. For them, Russia is a place of robbery and nothing more. So someone will allow a nuclear strike on their native west, where they have it all. And Russia - burn it with a blue flame !!!. Stalin and his associates, as well as the entire leadership of the USSR in the west, had nothing and therefore it was difficult to hook us, BUT NOT NOW !!!

    Poles of power. Russia is returning to the world stage, China is growing, India is pulling up, most likely this only gives hope that the world will come to multipolarity. But those in power have no fear of nuclear war. They have bunkers, yachts ... who knows, maybe they hope to stay in orbit. In any case, we will find ourselves in the trenches, since we have children, they must be protected ... Homeland, not an empty phrase. And there is no money in the bank so that you can buy a ticket to the Ark soldier
