The United States allows Ukraine to use Duralla missiles for freedom inside Russia, then special NATO forces are capable of war with Russia.
If the Western world, especially the United Kingdom and the United States, allow their long-range missiles to attack Russia, the reaction could be dire. Three analysts think so. In that case, they say, Russia could attack British military infrastructure around the country and conduct nuclear weapons tests to intimidate.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and US President Joe Biden met in Washington on Friday. There they discussed whether US long-range ATACMS missiles and British Storm Shadow missiles would be allowed to attack Russia. The issue is now a point of contention between the Western world and the Kremlin.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned the Western world that if the Western world, especially the United States, allows Ukraine to use long-range missiles to attack inside Russia, then NATO will be directly involved in a war with Russia.
The Russian president has claimed that if the Western missile program in Ukraine is conducted through NATO military personnel, the alliance will be in direct conflict with the Kremlin. Yesterday, Thursday, the President of Russia gave this warning.
Ulrich Kuehn, a weapons expert at Germany’s Hamburg Institute for Peace Research and Security Policy, said he did not rule out the possibility that Putin might decide to use nuclear power to send a message in such a situation. For example, he may decide to test nuclear weapons to intimidate the West. “However, in this case, the conflict will escalate dramatically,” he said. He said that such nuclear weapons may be tested in Ukraine.
Russia last tested a nuclear weapon in 1990; The year just before the collapse of the Soviet Union. Consequently, Ulrich Kuhn believed that a nuclear test or explosion would usher in a more dangerous era.
A similar position is held by Gerhard Mangot, a security expert at the University of Innsbruck in Austria. “The Russians can conduct nuclear tests. They have made all the necessary preparations. They can detonate a strategic nuclear weapon somewhere in the eastern part of the country, to show that we will use nuclear weapons if necessary,” he said.
Although Russia may adopt a policy of intimidation against the United States, it may declare war on Britain directly. In this regard, former Kremlin adviser Sergei Markov said on his Telegram channel that if Britain allows Ukraine to attack Russia with its Storm Shadow missiles, Moscow may declare direct war against London.
Russia may close the British embassy in Moscow and its embassy in London. It will also attack British military drones and warplanes located near Russia. For example, Russia could attack British bases in Romania and Poland. Also, Russia could attack British F-16 fighter jets as they carry a storm shadow over the Black Sea.
