MOSCOW, November 10/ Radio Sputnik. In the American edition of the National Interest assessed the chances of Russia and NATO in a potential war, writes "Tsargrad".

According to the author of the text, Chris Osborne, referring to the opinion of experts, in long-term military operations, the advantage remains with the North Atlantic Alliance. At the same time, NATO will be in a terrible position if Russia decides to organize an offensive against the Baltic States, the Alliance in this case will not be able to oppose Moscow, the text says.

"Right now, NATO cannot successfully defend the territory of its most vulnerable members. In several games involving a wide range of experienced participants in uniform and without it, playing for both sides, the longest time it took Russian troops to reach the outskirts of the capitals of Estonia and / or Latvia, Tallinn and Riga, respectively, is 60 hours," the experts interviewed by the journalist said.

As a justification for a possible conflict, the author points out the strengthening of Russia's land, air and sea military forces. Moscow also seeks to develop new types of weapons, and the defense budget of the Russian Federation for 2013 amounted to $ 90 billion, which is almost twice as much as in 2009, the article says.

Earlier, Sputnik radio reported that the Chinese media admired the Russian "Iskander".
