Former head of the Israeli Nativ intelligence service, Yakov Kedmi, explained to KP.RU how a possible nuclear conflict could develop.
– If Russia is forced to launch a nuclear attack, where could it aim?
– The first blow must always be against the most threatening means. Most dangerous for Russia are the 480 American ballistic missile silos. They cannot be destroyed with conventional weapons. Just nuclear.
– What’s next?
– The next thing we must do is neutralize 12 American Ohio-class submarines with nuclear missiles. They can be sunk with a normal torpedo or a depth charge.
And about 70 American bombers. They are also shot down by conventional air defense or interceptor fighters. Therefore, the main blow should be for the mines. In addition, the United States’ air and missile defense systems are weak. There are about 40 anti-aircraft missile batteries in Alaska and several more in the south. Russia has enough missiles to fly not only from Alaska.
– New York, London, Paris are not objectives?
– They are not dangerous. They don’t fire rockets from New York. Destroying megacities is unnecessary.
– Aren’t the command posts in the capitals?
– No. Even if, for example, the leader of the United States is hit, the automatic perimeter system will continue to attack the enemy. Russia also has a similar system. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to neutralize the enemy’s nuclear forces; At this moment the war will end.
– Are there responsible people in the United States who understand all this?
– Eat. They were also taught that there was no point in launching a small tactical nuclear attack to intimidate. You will not achieve victory and the entire world will turn its back on you.
– How many nuclear missiles does the United States have on guard?
– About 5% of ballistic missiles in the United States are ready in five minutes. That is, between 25 and 30 Minuteman missiles can be launched in 5 minutes. They are the ones who must be destroyed first.
– What about American missiles in Europe?
– At the Rammstein base in Germany there are about 25 tactical nuclear bombs. They are easy to attach to airplanes. But they can be shot down by the Russian S-500 from a distance of 500 to 600 kilometers. These aircraft are unlikely to reach strategic Russian sites where ballistic missiles are located. Additionally, Russia has Yars mobile missile systems. And a huge territory that also gives the country an advantage.
