Latest developments reveal a huge background between the planet’s ‘superpowers’ going on for days now as the statements of Russian and US officials seem to be followed by the movement of forces on the Ukrainian ground.
“Russia and NATO face the risk of an immediate armed conflict in Eastern Europe,” Russian ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov told reporters, adding, “Now there is talk of the participation of soldiers from NATO armies in military operations.
In fact, we face the risk of a direct conflict between the armed forces of Russia and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Eastern Europe,” the Russian ambassador said in a statement posted on the Russian embassy’s Telegram channel. “Until recently, it was impossible to imagine that American and German tanks would move into the fields of the country neighboring Russia.
Then it became clear to everyone that Western specialists are actively helping the Ukrainian armed forces with the maintenance of expensive equipment such as Patriots and with targeted guidance. Thus, we can consider that this is the participation of NATO soldiers in military operations. Such a scenario cannot be implemented without Washington’s approval,” Antonov said.
“I am convinced that the farmers in America, Europe and Russia are primarily interested in peaceful life and a chance to cultivate their land without fear of the future. But unfortunately, the “hawks” of the West are pushing the planet towards a third world war indifferent to their ambitions,” added Russia’s top envoy to the United States.
Is NATO preparing a surprise strike against the Russia with massive missile launches?
The wiretapping of German Officers’ conversation about action against the Russian Kerch Bridge and how close we are to a world war scenario – Everything will be decided on Ukrainian soil from which a Russia-US confrontation is likely to start
“An attack on Russia could begin with a swift global strike and simultaneously several massive missile and aircraft strikes as part of a massive air-ground or aeronautical operation.”
This is stated in a publication of the magazine of the Russian Ministry of Defense “Military Thought”, reports the RIA Novosti news agency.
The magazine reports that foreign experts are considering the creation of a new type of military formations, “joint operational formations” (JOF).
We are talking about multi-form compact, highly mobile groups of troops capable of inflicting a total defeat on the enemy’s administrative-political and military-industrial infrastructure by acting on land, sea, air, space and information-communications in a short period of time.
It is noted that the most anticipated form of use of this type of forces is air-ground operations.
“They will start with a surprise global strike and several massive missile and air strikes,” the Russians write about NATO.
It is expected that in such a scenario, according to which the air force of the alliance will be among the first to enter combat operations.
Before the start of the active phase of the Western operation against Russia, “provocative actions will be carried out and all kinds of reconnaissance will be strengthened, including regular flights of aircraft and drones near the Russian border.
It is also possible to conduct exercises with the participation of groups of aircraft carriers and ships that will carry cruise missiles.
The combat and numerical strength of the combined combined forces of the enemy (meaning US-EU) in peacetime can be 50-70% of the forces that will operate during hostilities,” the Russian magazine reports.
The authors of the article emphasize that “in connection with the growing threats to Russia, the role of the Air Force in the overall structure of military conflicts should increase.
In particular, it is necessary to strengthen the equipment of the Russian Air Force with new and modernized models of aircraft and weapon systems, in conjunction with the development of new action plans for the combat use of air forces both in peacetime and in wartime.”
The Ministry of Defense of Russia spoke of a possible attack scenario in Russia
The Russian Defense Ministry has outlined a possible scenario for a Western attack on Russia. It could launch an operation that would begin with a quick global strike and several smaller missile and air strikes.
Ukraine is largely weighing a US-NATO-Russia conflict
“The West realizes that Ukraine’s victory over Russia is impossible,” said K. Shivkov, Deputy President of the Russian Academy of Sciences specializing in Missiles and Artillery, in an interview with Isvestia newspaper.
He commented on the statement by the Russian secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council (NSDC), Alexei Danilov, that not everyone in the West wants Ukraine to win.
“There are people in the West who understand that Ukraine can never defeat Russia, just by definition. Because Russia is a nuclear power, if only for that reason, because the population of Russia is five times the population of of Ukraine”, said K.Sivkov.
The expert added that Russia itself produces weapons and Ukraine relies on arms supplies from Western allies.
At the same time, the West does not have sufficient production capacity to produce.
According to Shivkov, the West realizes that Ukraine cannot win, but the main goal is the defeat of Russia, which Danilov does not understand.
“They tried to solve this problem both economically, by imposing anti-Russian sanctions, and by exerting strong intelligence pressure on Russia, but all the efforts of the West failed,” the expert concluded.
Earlier, political scientist and former New York Times reporter John Varoli opined that statements by Western politicians at the UN Security Council for peace indicate a victory over Russia in the Ukraine standoff.
According to him, this rhetoric is designed to curry favor with the West in the international community, is part of a public relations campaign and is completely false.
