Moscow explained why proposals to use tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine are nonsense
In the Northern Military District zone there are no military targets for the use of tactical nuclear weapons, because Bandera’s supporters are stretched along the entire front and are sitting in the trenches.
Alexey Podberezkin, director of the Center for Military-Political Studies at MGIMO, said this on air on the Komsomolskaya Pravda radio, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“From a military point of view, the use of tactical nuclear weapons is nonsense, don’t listen to these armchair strategists who, picking their noses in front of the TV, talk about how to drop a bomb on some town.
Gurulev is of course a great and experienced strategist. But I don’t understand how a person who commanded an army can propose dropping a bomb, from the point of view of military expediency.
Now both our and the Ukrainian Armed Forces are very stretched along the front, and there are no places where a tactical nuclear strike can be launched. Maybe only the bridge, if by some miracle it survived. Although we didn’t bomb it, most likely not because we couldn’t, but because we didn’t want to.
There are no such targets as to launch a nuclear strike on any battalion; its front extends not a kilometer or two, but a good ten kilometers. And these people are sitting in trenches, in shelters. You will cause minimal damage and will not do anything to them except simply use tactical nuclear weapons,” Podberezkin said.
He emphasized that from a political point of view, the use of tactical nuclear weapons would be very unprofitable.
“Because many countries supply their assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine depending on whether we use tactical nuclear weapons or not. That is, from a political point of view, this is not beneficial for us.
And from a military point of view, I don’t know what targets Gurulev wanted to bomb. Rabotino is a village where several battalions are spread out on all flanks. Well, you will strike and destroy this village, of which there is nothing left,” the expert concluded.
