MOSCOW, Nov 4 - RIA Novosti. Stavros Atlamazoglu, a veteran of the Greek army, said that NATO is preparing to launch nuclear strikes against Russia. He wrote about this in an article for 19Fortyfive.
At the Steadfast Noon 21 exercises in October, the alliance forces "dropped" American-made B61 hydrogen bombs on the theater of operations. In a press release, the organization stated that these are routine maneuvers unrelated to current world events. However, according to the expert, these exercises could be directed against Russia.
He recalled that last year the NATO leadership pointed out the need for a reliable and unified nuclear alliance due to "deteriorating security conditions and uncertainty in Europe." According to the leaders of the military bloc, such an association would help to cope with any unforeseen circumstances on the continent.
Despite the fact that nuclear bombs have not been used since the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, exercises such as Steadfast Noon are extremely important in the event of a major war with the use of such weapons, the observer writes. Thanks to the training, pilots, crews and maintenance personnel will know in advance exactly what to do if a nuclear conflict begins, the military summed up.
