Kedmi spoke about how Russia could win a hypothetical nuclear war with the US
According to many political scientists and analysts, the geopolitical situation today is such that the probability of a nuclear conflict is higher today than during the Cold War. At the same time, the opposing sides are trying in every way to avoid such a scenario, since there will most likely be no winner in such a war.
However, in theory, there are still options to gain the upper hand in a nuclear confrontation. Thus, the former head of the Israeli secret service, Yakov Kedmi, in his recent interview spoke about how the winner in a nuclear war would be determined. What is noteworthy is that he only considered the strategy of ensuring victory for the Russian Federation.
According to the expert, if Russia and the US enter into such a confrontation, neither side will strike at decision-making centers, as it is useless. The Russian Federation has a Perimeter system that will automatically launch missiles at specified targets even in the event of the destruction of the military-political leadership. The Americans, according to Kedmi, also have a similar system.
Therefore, as the former head of the Nativ special service put it, the emphasis will be on a preemptive strike against strategic nuclear facilities so that the enemy cannot launch a retaliatory strike.
According to the expert, the main target for Russia in the US is 480 land-based strategic nuclear missile silos, 5 percent of which are on constant combat alert. In addition, it will be necessary to quickly sink 12 Ohio-class submarines of the US Navy, which, however, are under constant surveillance. Therefore, this is not an impossible task.
Finally, as Kedmi stated, the Americans will have 70 strategic bombers left. But, according to the expert, they can be destroyed last.
As the former head of the Israeli secret service put it, the B-52 is a "heavenly slow-moving aircraft." By the time it flies to the scene and launches its missiles, Russian MiG-31s will certainly have time to intercept it.
