According to the RF General Staff, in the event of a missile attack on the territory of the country, the nuclear potential will be used.
“Any attacking missile will be positioned as a nuclear-equipped missile. Information about the launch of the missile in automatic mode will be communicated to the country’s top leadership, which, depending on the situation, will determine the scale of the nuclear forces’ response,” the Krasnaya Zvezda quotes part of the article by representatives of the Russian General Staff …
The authors point out that the Russian missile attack warning system will detect the launches of ballistic missiles, but the military will not be able to determine the type of equipment (nuclear or non-nuclear). Therefore, any missile launched towards the Russian Federation will be positioned as a nuclear-armed missile, the General Staff said.
