The response will be asymmetric without the deployment of large-scale troops.
According to Dmitry Suslov, deputy director of the Center for Complex European and International Studies at the National Research University Higher School of Economics and an expert of the Valdai Club, Russia will not leave the build-up of NATO and the United States military forces in Europe unanswered.
In particular, we are talking about increasing its presence on the western borders, deepening military integration with Belarus through the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in the republic, notes "Lenta.ru".
In order to thwart NATO and the US, Russia will focus on nuclear weapons and precision missiles.
If a provocation follows from NATO and the U.S., the Russian response will be asymmetric in nature without the deployment of large-scale troops. As an example, Suslov cited the actions of the USSR under the Warsaw Pact.
Earlier, Suslov said that the confrontation between NATO and Russia has revived in Europe.
