Russia is aware of the vulnerability of US nuclear bombs — EADaily, August 21, 2022 — Politics, Russia News
Among non-strategic nuclear weapons, the United States has nuclear bombs, but they are afraid and Russia knows about it, writes The Hill.
“The US does not have a suitable type of ‘non-strategic’ weapon. There are cargo-lifting nuclear bombs, but Russia knows they are especially dangerous when they are on the ground or carried on detected ones that fly through contested airspace. Moreover, there is almost always a length of time between the special strike order and the withdrawal set out in the target”, – write the journalists of The Hill.
Some US presidents, including the presence, preventing the nuclear equipping of a new generation of short and medium-range cruise missiles, which the country’s navy needs, journalists say.
“Congress is preventing the situation from changing, but America remains in the unenviable position of not accepting the type of weapon that can deter Russia’s use of low-yield warheads,” — reports The Hill, adding that the vulnerability of the United States is known in China.
The publication coincided with the statement of the Deputy Director of the Information and Press Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry Ivan Nechaev that Russia is using its nuclear arsenal only as a response to these actions.
