Putin told how Russia responded to a preventive nuclear strike from the United States
The US legislation spells out the theory of a preemptive strike, in addition, they are developing another tactic – a disarming strike. How Russia can resist such attacks, the President of the Russian Federation told a press conference with journalists Vladimir Putin.
The reason for the question was the phrase of the President, decided by him at a meeting with human rights activists: “If Russia does not use nuclear weapons first, then the second will not use either.”
Putin noted that Russia does not have the theory of a preemptive strike, a financial crisis. “In our strategy of building a retaliatory strike, that is, a response. This is when our systems of sustainable missile detection on the territory of Russia. They fix, that is, the starts have occurred. Then comes the answer: <...> from our side, hundreds of rockets are offered on the balcony. It is impossible to leave them, but it is still a reciprocal [удар]”, the head of state.
He noted that the warheads of the missiles were still found lost on the territory of Russia, but “nothing was preserved from the discovery, because hundreds of missiles were intercepted.”
