NI: We never found out if NATO’s anti-Communist invasion plan worked
The American magazine National Interest published an article that talks about the confrontation between the USSR (Warsaw Pact) and NATO.
Browser Robert Farley writes that the United States had a program that calculated the specific number of Soviet people to be destroyed by nuclear weapons. It is added that with all the power of the North Atlantic Alliance, it is not at all obvious that it was able to defeat the Warsaw Treaty Organization (ATS).
From the article:
Further, the author writes the following:
The concept of conducting a potential war against the ATS “in case of a communist invasion” is considered. One of the directions of this concept is “active defense in the air”, as well as the destruction of “Soviet armored units breaking through the line of defense”.
From the material:
Several components of the NATO and ATS war are examined. One example is the naval. The observer writes that the carrier forces and landing formations were the main striking force. In particular, the landing was planned to be used to capture relatively small areas in the Arctic, on the Pacific and Black Sea coast of the USSR.
