American expert Wesley Culp writes in an article for 19Fortyfive that the impressive arsenal of tactical nuclear weapons that Russia has makes high-ranking military leaders of the North Atlantic Alliance nervous.
“Russia has a lot of tactical nuclear weapons, and it will be difficult for NATO to cope with them,” said Call.
The expert clarified that missiles with low-power stuffing can be launched from Navy ships, bombers, fighters, as well as with the help of operational and tactical complexes.
Culp believes that Moscow considers strategic and tactical weapons as an effective tool to deter any potential enemy.
He also believes that a low-power nuclear arsenal not only ensures Russia’s security, but also significantly raises the country’s military prestige.
The Russian Federation has repeatedly stressed the absence of aggressive intentions towards any countries. At the same time, the leadership of the Russian state noted the West’s focus on confrontation and expansion into the post-Soviet space through the inclusion of new countries in NATO.
The Kremlin stated that further expansion of the North Atlantic military bloc would not bring greater security to either side, since NATO behaves aggressively.
