“Up to a nuclear strike” - Sivkov on the response to a strategic radar attack
A strike on the radar station near Armavir is a test by the West of Moscow’s reaction and readiness for decisive and tough actions, and here it is mortally dangerous to show weakness.
Military expert Konstantin Sivkov stated this on the Red Line channel , as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" A strike on this station is far more dangerous than a strike on airfields and everything else. Because depriving us of an effective early warning system creates the conditions for a preemptive strike, and we won't be able to detect the strike until the missile hits. Once we detect the launch using these radars, we have 15 to 30 minutes to mount a massive retaliatory strike.
This is an unprecedented, extremely dangerous situation; if we don't react now, the consequences will be dire . This is a test run to see how we will respond.
"Our actions. Moving toward de-escalation under current conditions will be perceived as a clear sign of weakness on the part of the West, and the West will escalate. Therefore, actions are needed that demonstrate resolve and firmness, while at the same time not providing a pretext for attack," Sivkov said.
He listed several options for response actions in order of increasing escalation.
" The first is providing regular forces, which are known to attack Western forces , with our modern weapons—just as they do. For example, Venezuela, with the ability to strike American bases.
Next, a direct cruise missile strike against a similar airborne early warning system in Britain or Greenland . Yes, these are American stations, but no matter – they're on British territory, so they're British.
Further, it may be announced that the strategic deterrent forces are on full alert with the issuance of flight missions...
Second, the transfer of 25% of tactical nuclear weapons to the troops with loading onto warships, aircraft, and launchers of ground forces carriers.
And the last option is the most severe : if all the previous ones fail, then this is a demonstration of the determination to strike by launching a real (preemptive) nuclear strike on the North Pole ,” the expert concluded.
