What the Russian president is referring to is what he calls “the US pre-emptive strike idea.” He warned that the risk of nuclear conflict was growing.
Russia may consider officially including in its military doctrine the possibility of launching a preventive nuclear strike to disarm the enemy. This was told by Vladimir Putin to reporters after the summit in Kyrgyzstan, Bloomberg writes.
“We are thinking about it. If we are talking about a disarming strike, maybe we should consider using the strategies of our American partners,” Putin said, citing what he called US strategy of using precision-guided missiles for pre-emptive strikes. .
Recall that Putin’s comments on the nuclear issue became the second this week. On Wednesday, he said the risk of nuclear war was rising and called Russia’s arsenal a “deterrent” in conflicts. Russia’s doctrine now provides for the use of nuclear weapons as a last resort in the event of a threat to the state’s existence.
