Moscow: Russia has prepared for a nuclear attack on Europe in case of war with NATO. For this, the Russian Navy has been specially trained in firing nuclear missiles. This has been revealed in a report by the Financial Times. The report says that the Russian Navy has selected distant targets like the west coast of France and Barrow-in-Furness in Britain for the nuclear attack. Special maps have been made for this and training has been done for the attack. Citing 29 secret Russian military files, this report states that Moscow has practiced the use of tactical nuclear weapons in the initial stages of a conflict with a superpower like NATO.
Russia trained for attacks
Documents obtained by the Financial Times have also revealed Russia’s plans for widespread attacks in Western Europe. These documents, prepared between 2008 and 2014, mention targets for missiles with conventional or tactical nuclear warheads. They contain plans for the initial use of nuclear weapons. The documents also say that Russia can deploy nuclear weapons on warships. However, such deployment also increases the risk of a major conflict or accidents.
Permission granted for nuclear attack on enemy
The documents state that action can be taken against the enemy quickly, suddenly and before its attacks. It also calls for preparations for a massive missile attack from various directions. It also states that nuclear weapons are usually designated to be used along with other means of destruction to achieve Russia’s goals. According to the Financial Times, analysts who examined the documents found that the long-range missile threat of the Russian Navy and the possible acceleration in the use of nuclear weapons by Russia are consistent with NATO’s assessment.
Russia has its eyes on 32 NATO bases
According to the document, Russia has its eyes on 32 NATO bases. The map made for the Russian Navy shows 32 NATO military bases located in Europe. Former NATO officer William Alberk working at the Stimson Center has said that this is only a small part of the targets mapped across Europe. Russia’s preparations are many times bigger than this. These include both military and important infrastructure.
