WION, Indian global television, on the Russian nuclear weapon drills at the Ukrainian border
Let us have no illusions. This end game phase of the Russian-Ukraine war, when the Ukrainian forces are being battered on the ground and forced to retreat with heavy losses, is fraught with dangers of escalation to hot war between NATO and Russia. The United States, Britain and France have been throwing caution to the wind and are escalating madly to prevent disaster on the field of battle and Ukrainian capitulation. Moscow’s tactical nuclear weapons exercises represent an attempt to bring the West to its senses. Whether they will succeed in doing so is an open question.
So, all talk of shooting down Russian missiles is utter nonsense for people who know anything about the military prowess of the Russian armaments. The Kinzhal is precisely the missile that has destroyed American Patriot anti-aircraft or air defense systems, which are supposed to be the most sophisticated in the Western world. They were destroyed. They will be further destroyed if the United States proceeds with delivery of another Patriot. So, the Russians have shown their muscles yesterday, and anybody among military experts looking at the MiG-31s and their capability will understand that this is not a bluff.
