US press presented a scenario of a possible war between Russia and NATO

77

A possible war between Russia and NATO will be dire. It can turn into "real horror."

This opinion was expressed by the journalist Stavros Atlamazoglu in an article published by the American edition 19FortyFive.



The US press notes that the Russian military has significant advantages. Indeed, in recent years, Moscow has stubbornly modernized and strengthened its armed forces, while the United States and its allies are mired in regional conflicts around the world - in Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries. And although they received real combat experience, it is unlikely to come in handy in armed clashes with such powerful opponents as Russia or China.

According to Atlamazoglu, military actions between the Russian Federation and the North Atlantic Alliances, if this happens, will begin either in the Baltic Sea region or in the Black Sea region. At the same time, he believes that NATO's strategy does not imply the first to start a conflict, because, according to the journalist, it provides for exclusively defensive or retaliatory actions. From this he concludes that only Russia can act as an aggressor in a possible war, and this gives it certain advantages. Apparently, the foreign observer does not want to remember how many wars on Earth were initiated by the NATO countries.

The most important thing, writes Atoamazoglu, is that the parties to the conflict will in no case use nuclear weapons. weaponso that it does not grow from regional to global. The conflict scenario is nuclear-free. Where the American newspaper columnist got such confidence is not entirely clear.

Earlier in the American media there were other versions of the scenario of a possible military confrontation between Russia and NATO. One of them is a clash in the Arctic with the use of missile weapons. Now - options with the Baltic and the Black Sea region.

      Atoamazoglu, arguing that the parties to the conflict will in no case use nuclear weapons so that it does not grow from a regional to a global one, must carefully read the Military Doctrine of Russia:
      "The Russian Federation reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in response to the use of nuclear and other types of weapons of mass destruction against it and (or) its allies, as well as in case of aggression against the Russian Federation using conventional weaponswhen the very existence of the state is threatened "

        Personally, I believe that any armed conflict between the Russian Federation and NATO will lead to the use of nuclear weapons, most likely tactical. And all partners should remember this. There is no other option. The time for "concern" is over. Only the problem of political will remained.

    A similar topic has recently been covered on VO. About the same journalist and about the same.
    In fact - fabrications on the topic, and what will happen if any of us writes his own.
    You need to know the main thing: if tomorrow is a war, then NATO should not hope for any regional nuclear-free conflict. These are dreams. The Russian Federation does not have a comparable number of forces and weapons in comparison with NATO, therefore, nuclear weapons will be used faster and more massively than they think.

      but on the contrary, the Yankees will not go to a large-scale conflict, because then they will have to assemble a group of at least 1,5-2 million. They will wash themselves with a little boy even if our people decide to wait for the beginning of the aggression, so most likely the stake will be made on a regional conflict, far from the main part of Russia in order to demonstrate the possibilities ... there is either the KOR or the PMR, I would bet on Transnistria ... Romanian is easier to persuade into war, forces there with a gulkin's nose, and if something happens, Russia will have to invade Ukraine.

The Germans in the Crimea hunted partisans in the catacombs. They would immediately recognize the kirdyk of Germany. There was already such good in the USSR in full abundance.

      Read the same Veremeeva: Well, for starters, let's take storage problems. Further, chemical weapons are highly dependent on the weather, this is one, and secondly it hits and on its own it is two. In total, the factor of surprise goes into negative territory, and the enemy has time to prepare. And now we recall the favorite dishes of the generals, first German and then ours: the enemy is in a cauldron in his own juice. And sitting in a trench in a chemical kit is somehow easier than running to the same trench.

    Everything is exactly the opposite. And NATO is by no means a defensive organization, and this war will become nuclear immediately. Especially at sea. On land, the commander may still have some doubts, hesitations, because both cities and civilians, millions of victims, radioactive contamination. But at sea there is none of this, only we and the enemy fleet. And the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons is much lower.

We had such 2 meters each and many got it, because from a direct hit there was nothing left to fill them like dogs for a year, the dogs from the landings then dragged their arms or legs. The Europeans themselves will not come to the war, they are already poor fellows themselves settling in Russian regions in which the Arabs do not bother, well, ours do not assimilate to European tolerance on May 9 and other holy holidays, and how it is customary for ours to be beaten first and then asked.

      Do you know what I dare to suggest? That it is in Europe that there are very few people willing to contact Russia in the perspective of the illusory happiness promised by the Americans. For all the seeming Russophobia, neither Germany nor France will go to war with Russia. If only GB? So even if she is not allowed to freeze in winter.
      Here at one time there were messages from our former compatriots about the wonderful life in the EU and about the liberties of temporary residence in it. Let's presumably take their word for it. And then it turns out that native Western Europeans generally ride like cheese in butter (if the apartments are warm and there is electricity). Tell me, what have these tolerant Europeans lost (or left) in the cool and very cold expanses of our beloved vast country?

    even such a powerful weapon as a nuclear one has its limits of destructive power, which are not difficult to calculate by the formula of high explosiveness, that is, by the power of the shock wave. Although there is radiation, but still
    According to open data in our arsenal are:
    - 460 warheads R-36M2, power 1 Mt, radius of destruction 2800 m., Area of ​​destruction 24,6 sq. km;
    - 114 RT-2PM warheads, 550 kt, 2200 m, 15,2 sq. km;
    - 440 RS-24 warheads, 500 kt, 2200 m, 15,2 sq. km;
    - 656 warheads R-29 and R-30, 200 kt, 1600 m, 8 sq. km.
    Total total affected area:
    - R-36M2 - 11 316 sq. km,
    - RT-2PM - 1 sq. km,
    - RS-24 - 6 688 sq. km,
    - R-29 and R-30 - 5 sq. km.
    In total, our nuclear arsenal has a total affected area of ​​24 sq. km or 984 thousand sq. km., and in this territory nuclear explosions will destroy most of the buildings and structures, as well as destroy most of the people. By the way, the Soviet nuclear potential in January 25 was 1990 warheads. Approximately 10 times more than now in Russia.
    In the United States, the area of ​​cities in 2010: 106 thousand square meters. miles (274,5 thousand sq. km) with an average population of 905 people per sq. km. km. Calculations show that the available nuclear arsenal of Russia will be enough to destroy 9% of the urban area in the United States, which is home to 23 to 26 million people. In 1990, our capabilities were at least 6 times greater ... The total population of the United States in 2010 is 308,7 million people (now 340 million). In this case, 7-8% of the country's population will become victims of our "response". A very modest result. Although the population density in different cities of the United States is not the same, focusing on the most populated cities in the United States while ignoring small cities with a low population density, with the same initial data, will result in 40 to 80 million dead and dead. In this case, the most valuable passionate part of the population will suffer: technical specialists, entrepreneurs, administrators.
    80 or even 40 million dead is no longer 10 or 15.
    This is already enough for predators to be found who want to profit from the weakened United States.

    If a war breaks out between NATO and Russia, then at the first stage, if NATO fails to succeed and withdraws to its territory, nuclear weapons will most likely not be used.
    If NATO countries (any) use small nuclear charges, then the conflict will probably immediately escalate to maximum intensity, and then strikes will be delivered on the territory of all NATO countries, and above all the United States, and without any stupid "surgical precision" , and excluding the military or civilian purpose of the object.
    Moreover, it would be advisable to simultaneously strike both at military targets and purposefully at all civilian infrastructure facilities and the so-called "civilian population."
    It is the civil infrastructure that ensures the normal functioning of the country and the population. Try today to live without electricity, water supply, and without a working sewer ... Just imagine New York, Chicago, LA, etc. covered in shit up to their ears, and it flows through the streets of these cities ... wink If we add to this the absence of roads, bridges, the supply of the population with medicines, food, fuel and lubricants for vehicles, the total destruction of the existing industrial and trade relations, and the presence in the United States of a large number of weapons in their hands, including those of a criminal element, then life will be very to put it mildly, quite savory. The lack of communications and the Internet is generally a real nightmare for the current generation.
    Strikes on the "civilian population" are also necessary because this population works, including in military production, and is a reserve for the active army.
    In short, the assertion that "the parties will refrain from nuclear strikes" is sheer nonsense.

    Oh, how they want to fight everything ... They play it this way and that ... and all the same, Russia comes out victorious. By the way, in the photo for the article ... the vests look like baby bibs, to be honest.
