Who is intimidated by Putin with a nuclear triad: that hide the dictator's statements about the increase of Russian troops

In particular, he stated that the share of modern weapons in the nuclear triad of the Russian Federation allegedly is 95% and that it is the highest in the world.   It was the nuclear triad, as a "unchanging guarantor of the sovereignty of Russia" that the Kremlin head instructed to pay "special attention".

"Today, our task is to form a new long -term program throughout the complex of systems and weapons systems, including, above all, promising, as much as possible to use the experience of a special military operation (wars against Ukraine - focus), various regional conflicts, and, of course, it is important to take into account global trends in the development of military technology.

  It should be noted that the term of implementation of the new State Program of the Russian Federation from weapons is scheduled for the period from 2027 to 2036. At the same time, in 2024, the nuclear doctrine of Russia was clarified.

In particular, the threshold of use has declined: now the "nuclear event" is possible not only in the case of the threat of Russia (and the Union Belarus), but also in the conditions of "critical violation" of sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Russian Federation. On the special car, Putin also set the task of increasing the combat capabilities of the Russian Land Forces. “The dominant force in the conduct of modern hostilities of any scale and intensity remains land troops.

Therefore, it is important to increase their combat capabilities in the shortest possible time, ”he said, adding that land troops should have to develop and“ receive promising samples and weapons systems that have the highest tactical and technical characteristics and modernization resources ”.

  Putin's fresh statements regarding the nuclear triad and the need to increase the ground forces as soon as possible is the pressure on the partners of Ukraine, according to the National Institute for Strategic Studies Ivan Us.   “Putin, demonstrating the power of Russia, sends a signal to the Europeans, who say, after he dealt with Ukraine, will certainly come with the war and to them.

The calculation is made to make the allies of Kiev reduce the volumes of supply to Ukraine, because otherwise, first, there are problems with the "state-of-the-art nuclear weapons" of the Russian Federation, and secondly-with the "inexhaustible" human resource of Russia.

That is, rhetoric about nucleus and large number of people is the basis of Russia's ideology, and this, by the way, goes in the fairway of Trumpsky statements about the powerful and strong Russia to agree, because otherwise the Third World War will be, ”the analyst notes in conversation with focus.

At the same time, in the question of the nuclear triad, the expert states, not everything is as unambiguously as Putin tries to publicly: “You know, there is a good joke that we live in the era of the post of truth, the essence of which is that it doesn't matter what is happening, the main thing, as they say about it.

Thus, Putin declares the "best in the world" nuclear triad of the Russian Federation, shortly after the operation of the SBU "Spider web", which significantly damaged one of the components of this triad - aircraft, capable of carrying nuclear weapons. This is a clear demonstration that it is not so modern and Russian triad. There are also many doubts about people. If everything would be very good in this direction, then probably no one would involve North Korea.

And since the Russian Federation has attracted the DPRK's military force in the Russian-Ukrainian war, it testifies to its real problems with people. "    Recalling that Russia tried in September 2022 to carry out a "partial mobilization", Ivan stated: "Even then Putin saw that the mobilization history is very unpopular, but nevertheless, this idea is still living in Russia. However, you should not forget about the economy.

Rhetorically, yes, the Russian Federation can say that it will take these steps, but whether the Russian economy will make it - I have great doubts. ”  In general, in theory, summarizes Ivan Us, Putin's statements about a multiple of ground forces look "quite scary", but their practical implementation seems ghostly.

  The Executive Director of the Center for Applied Political Research "Penta" Alexander Leonov is convinced that Putin's fresh statements about nuclear weapons and the increase of land troops are primarily aimed at the Russian target audience, since "no one in the world will believe in the" modern triad.

"  “The Russian planes impressed during the operation of the Web are aircraft of still Soviet production and, according to all data, to make new planes Russia is incapable, as lost technological capabilities, specialists, etc. The Russian Federation can only repair these planes through the so -called cannibalism, that is, by dismantling others. Therefore, in fact, the Russian nuclear triad is largely stuck in the USSR.

As for Russian "zirconic" or "daggers", the inability of their interception and beating was declared by the same Putin, and denied Ukraine, and denied with the help of US anti-aircraft missile complexes about the late 70s of production. That is why Putin's "nuclear" signals are directed at the domestic consumer, because all the way understands the real state of the Russian nuclear forces, " - emphasizes the expert in conversation with focus.

At the same time, the political scientist says, Putin's statements are evidence that Russia is considering the use of nuclear weapons. The Kremlin, according to Alexander Leonov, is trying to intimidate the Allies of Ukraine with the corresponding signals. At the same time, the reference of the Russian leader to the land forces, according to the expert, is a kind of "greeting" of Europe, where also at the NATO level publicly recognize the likelihood of the Russian invasion.

In Moscow, the expert notes, it is unlikely that the capture of the whole of Europe, but the script, when, thanks to the invasion, for example, the Baltic country, the Russian Federation will try to prove the incapacity of Article 5 of the Alliance, it looks quite realistic. Russia, emphasizes the analyst, it is extremely important to bring this scenario to life, which will allow it, in fact, by rewriting the global security system, to form the distribution of the world into zones of influence.

  In order for Europe to give up the sanction policy on the Russian Federation and "capitulated", Alexander Leonov states, Putin must be pressed on it, and it can be pressed solely by military. In general, the expert is convinced, in Europe they are no wonder that Russia can use force relative to individual NATO member states.
