Russia will use nukes in case of a strike – official
Vice Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin has warned that Russia will use nuclear
weapons if it comes under an attack, adding that this possibility serves as
the main deterrent to potential provocateurs and aggressors.
“One can experiment as long as one wishes by deploying non-nuclear warheads
on strategic missile carriers. But one should keep in mind that if there is
an attack against us, we will certainly resort to using nuclear weapons in
certain situations to defend our territory and state interests,” Rogozin,
the defense industry chief said on Wednesday speaking at the State Duma, the
lower house.
He pointed out that this principle is enshrined in Russia’s military
doctrine. Any aggressor or group of aggressors should be aware of that, he
said.
“We have never diminished the importance of nuclear weapons – the weapon
of requital – as the great balancer of chances,” Rogozin said.
Russia to develop response to US Prompt Global Strike
Russia’s Fund of Perspective Researches (FPI) will develop a military
response to the American Conventional Prompt Global Strike (PGS) strategy,
Dmitry Rogozin told the State Duma.
So far, the FPI has already looked at over a thousand proposed ideas and
plans to work on 60 projects, eight of which are top priority, the
politician said. He refused to disclose any details, but said that one of
those projects is focused on preparing a response to the PGS, which is the
“main strategy” that the Pentagon is nurturing.
PGS would allow the United States to strike targets anywhere on the planet,
with conventional weapons in as little as an hour.
As Rogozin explained earlier, the strategy would give America an advantage
over a nuclear state, thanks to their better technical capabilities with
weaponry, including the speed, RIA Novosti cited. | T*******a
