The report titled Russia Prepares Nuclear Surprise For NATO, claims that Russia was able to amass its massive nuclear power because the U.S. had been dismissive and neglectful of achieving innovations in decades after winning the Cold War. Specifically, the U.S. had closed the possibility of developing high-precision long-range weapons that could eradicate enemies even without coming to direct contact. But Russia never stops innovating despite much criticism and the more accepted notion that the country is weak and the west is superior. At this point, Russia has “long-range cruise missiles of a new generation that will soon be deployed on submarines of the Black Sea Fleet and missile ships of the Caspian Flotilla,” PRAVDA stated.
And not only that – Russia’s tactical nuclear weapons are far more superior to that of NATO’s, the report said. NATO’s member countries have only 260 tactical weapons. The U.S. has 200 bombs with an overall capacity of 18 megatons – located in Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Turkey. France has 60 atomic bombs, as outlined by the report. “Russia, according to conservative estimates, has 5,000 pieces of different classes” of tactical nuclear weapons “from Iskander warheads to torpedo, aerial and artillery warheads,” the report from PRAVDA highlighted.
