Last year's events on the international scene became an occasion for the emergence of a great number of different projections. More often heard statements about the coming of a new Cold War between Russia and the United States and its allies. In addition, some political analysts have assessed the risks of the beginning of the armed conflict.
November 25 edition of the American Right Side News published an
article by Michael Snyder 10 Signs That Russia Is Preparing To Fight
(And Win) A Nuclear War With The United States («10 signs that Russia is
prepared to fight and win a nuclear conflict with the United States") . In its submission American journalist tried to analyze the current situation and draw conclusions.
The article begins with a very interesting statement. The author asks who would win in a nuclear war between Russia and the US, and then argues that the answer may surprise the reader. M. Snyder recalls that in recent years the US nuclear arsenals are aging and shrinking. Meanwhile, the Russian industry creates bombers, submarines and missiles of the new generation, capable of inflicting a devastating first strike.
As noted by M. Snyder, now the majority of Americans do not consider the possible full-scale nuclear war with Russia. At the same time recalls that the United States are still the main enemy of Russia, because of what she is preparing for a possible conflict. Naturally, the Russian side is not going to unleash a nuclear war because of the catastrophic consequences of such a conflict. Nevertheless, the Russian want to be confident in their ability to start a similar case of a collision.
American journalist believes that in recent years the main "pillars" of international politics have undergone major changes. In political circles of America still has a circulation concept of mutually assured destruction, which implies that countries have serious nuclear arsenals that are suitable for the complete destruction of a potential enemy. It is understood that in such a case, the country will be afraid to go to an open armed confrontation and try not to go to war.
Nevertheless, M. Snyder forced to admit that in recent years the situation with the nuclear forces of the USA and Russia has seriously changed. Now numerical indicators of US nuclear arsenals are at a minimum. For example, in 1967 the US possessed 31,000 nuclear warheads. Now deployed only 1,642 warheads, and soon their number will decrease to 1500.
Thus, in 47 years the number of nuclear warheads has decreased by 95%. However, this is not enough for the "anti-nuclear crusader Barack Obama» (anti-nuke crusader Barack Obama). US President offers its own initiative to further reduce the number of deployed warheads to 300 units.
Against the background of such events in the United States, Russian industry continues to create a number of new projects. This impressive stealth systems capable of hitting a target in the United States for a few minutes. Particular attention M. Snyder draws on the latest Russian submarine. These missile submarines capable of secretly and quietly for the enemy to come to the US shore. If Moscow decides to start a nuclear war, the first blow may cause the submarine, which are able to almost completely disarm the United States and significantly reduce the size of retaliation. If Russia has a modern complex of missile defense, the consequences of retaliation will not be too great.
M. Snyder believes that the continuation of containment in accordance with the concept of mutual assured destruction United States should stay tuned Russian arsenals, and have extra time to create their own new delivery vehicles. The emergence of new technologies changes the balance of power, which is why the old concepts and ways of thinking can not lead to the expected result. Russia has already realized this and act accordingly.
After such an extensive entry passes to the author of the publication in the headline "10 signs that Russia is prepared to fight and win a nuclear conflict with the United States."
1. Russia has invested a lot of money into the project PAK DA (PAK DA). Strategic bomber PAK DA in the future will replace the existing technology and increase the capacity of the air component of the nuclear triad. Information on this project is very scarce. There are only approximate dates of its implementation: the construction of new aircraft will start approximately in the middle of the next decade.
2. Russian strategic bombers regularly appear in Northern Europe and in Alaska. It seems so Russia is testing NATO defense. For example, in mid-September near Alaska observed two Tu-95MS, two MiG-31 and two tanker aircraft Il-78. Training intercept Russian aircraft completed US F-22 fighters. A few days later the alarm was raised by Canadian fighters.
3. According to the Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, Russia's strategic bombers conduct regular patrols in the western Atlantic and eastern parts of the Pacific. In addition, the missile appear above the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea.
4. Russia is building a missile defense system. According to some reports, the latest anti-aircraft missile system S-500 is able to capture not only the aerodynamic targets, but the warheads of intercontinental ballistic missiles. The complex will be able to independently track targets and receive target information from third-party sources.
5. Not so long ago, Russia conducted another successful test of a ballistic missile submarine. As an example the rocket launch "Sineva", produced by submarine "Tula" (draft 677BDRM) November 5th. It is noteworthy that in the autumn of this year were held and other test launches, including the latest missile "Bulava", but M. Snyder, for whatever reason, does not mention them.
6. Russia has "super-silent" nuclear submarines, which are almost impossible to detect. For example, in 2012 for a few weeks in the Gulf of Mexico attended the Russian submarine armed with cruise missiles, long-range. According to the American journalist, the Russian Navy has a technique that can secretly get close to the shores of the United States and make a missile launch at any time.
7. According to Russian media reports, in 2016 adopted the Strategic Missile Forces upgraded by 60%. By 2021, the proportion of new systems will grow to 98%. New systems have and will have qualitative superiority over existing, including they should have great potential breakthrough on missile defense.
8. For the first time in the history of Russia surpassed the United States in the number of nuclear warheads. According to the latest data released by the US State Department, in the Russian Strategic Rocket Forces deployed 1,643 warheads carried by ballistic missiles, aircraft and submarines. In 1642 the US deployed warheads. In comparison with the previous report, published in early March of this year, there has been growth in the number of deployed weapons. For Russia, the increase was 131 warheads for the United States - 57.
9. Russia has a huge advantage over the United States and NATO countries in the number of tactical nuclear weapons. According to the data used by M. Snyder, from European NATO countries there are currently only 260 tactical nuclear weapons. At US bases in Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Turkey have a total capacity of 200 Ammunition 20 megatons. In addition, at its store in the United States about 300 bombs and other munitions. Russia, in turn, has about 5 thousand units of such weapons of different classes. Depending on the tactical need for the Russian army could use artillery shells, bombs and tactical missiles with nuclear warheads.
10. Russian President Vladimir Putin has initiated a program of modernization of the armed forces, the cost of which amounted to about 540 billion US dollars. The program will be implemented from 2016 to 2025. Its aim is the creation of new offensive weapons destined for re-strategic and long-range aircraft, upgrade troops aerospace defense and development of high-precision conventional weapons. All these measures are taken to ensure a guaranteed nuclear deterrence potential adversaries.
Author Publication 10 Signs That Russia Is Preparing To Fight (And Win) A Nuclear War With The United States said that in addition to the Russian threat to the United States may be developing China. This country is successfully implementing new military projects that can seriously raise its defense capabilities.
In mid-November, the naval forces of China conducted a test launch of a ballistic missile JL-2, designed for arming submarines. The range of these missiles hit targets allows the United States. According to some reports, ballistic missile JL-2 have already been taken into service and under construction as standard.
His article M. Snyder completes several interesting statements. He believes that the majority of Americans do not believe the current processes in the field of strategic nuclear forces of the problem. Most Americans believe that nuclear war is simply impossible. However, according to the journalist, the first attack on the United States is now more possible than ever before. He therefore hoped that the American people understand the complexity of the current situation before it is too late.
