According to Sergey Mironov, Associate Professor of the Department of International and National Security at the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian Foreign Ministry, the North Atlantic Alliance, led by the United States, is considering a large-scale strike against Russia using 20-30 thousand cruise missiles.
The latter can be placed on sea carriers in European territorial waters, and therefore Washington is seeking to expand the number of NATO member countries to increase the controlled maritime territory.
"The concept of a global strike was developed, as far as I remember, about ten years ago.
American-it is the impact of cruise missiles. I can tell you what this concept is based on.
First, the marine component. Why do they need Finland and Sweden in NATO now?
Take advantage of the waters and territorial waters of these states to bring ships with cruise missiles there. And they can bring down from 20 to 30 thousand such cruise missiles on us at the same time, " Mironov said.
According to Mironov, even though Russia has modern air defense systems, it is not possible to repel such a massive strike.
"Even with a very high-quality air and missile defense system, we simply will not be able to fully repel this strike," the military expert stressed.
At the moment, such a strike is only part of the concept being developed by NATO, since neither the United States nor the North Atlantic Alliance as a whole have such a large number of warships capable of launching missiles, while there are simply no such large number of missiles, since according to some estimates, the United States is armed with only about 10-12 thousand cruise missiles. Tomahawk missiles.
