1: Introduction
Russia is the only country qualified to use nuclear weapons :
As we all know, there are 5 countries that have legally own nuclear weapons, that is, countries that have nuclear weapons before the signing of the " Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty ".
Some people say that Russia is the only country qualified to fight the nuclear war . If Russia is forced to retreat by NATO , will Russia use the bottom-up nuclear weapons to launch an nuclear strike against the other side?
2: Russia's nuclear strength
Since Russia is the only country qualified to use nuclear weapons, Russia not only has nuclear weapons, but also must have confidence in the strength of nuclear weapons .
Russia is only three countries in the world with a trinity nuclear strike system, and is one of the only two countries with more than a thousand nuclear warheads.
According to public data, all nuclear missiles in Russia are loaded with 1,550 nuclear warheads, is 100-200 more than the number of nuclear warheads in the United States, and is several times the number of nuclear warheads in the other three nuclear countries except the United States. The number of nuclear missiles of
is proportional to the number of nuclear warheads. Since Russia has a huge number of nuclear warheads, Russia's number of nuclear missiles will definitely not be small.
The Russian Strategic Rocket Force has a huge number of strategic missiles, and exceeds the sum of the number of nuclear missiles owned by the Russian long-range aviation force and strategic nuclear submarine force.
Russia now has 3 missile armies, each missile army has 3-4 missile divisions ranging from 3 to 4 subordinates, and its subsidiaries are mobile nuclear missile regiments and well-deployed nuclear missile regiments.
Take the most powerful Guards 33rd Missile Army, in addition to the 62nd Guards Missile Division with 28 well-launched "Satan" intercontinental nuclear missiles.
also has 3 guard missile divisions equipped with maneuverable intercontinental ballistic missiles, equipped with at least 90 maneuverable intercontinental missiles, all of which are deployed on high-motorized off-road chassis.
therefore has excellent maneuverability, and also gives the Russian Strategic Rocket Force a good secondary nuclear counterattack capability.
In addition, Russia's sea-based nuclear strike force and air-based nuclear strike force are not inferior to the US military. It can be said that Russia's powerful nuclear strike force and nuclear counterattack ability ensure that it has the qualifications to dare to use nuclear weapons.
But strength alone is far from enough. In order to maximize the deterrence ability of its nuclear strikes, Russia has also adopted an offensive nuclear mechanism in the use of nuclear weapons.
3: Russia's nuclear strike logic
Russia's nuclear strike strategy is different from our country. Russia has never made any statements about not using nuclear weapons first.
Russia believes that the use of nuclear weapons mainly depends on two reasons, First, the enemy has posed a serious threat to Russia's national security.
Second, if hostile countries launch nuclear strikes on Russia's mainland, the strategic nuclear power of the Russian army will be invested in nuclear counterattack operations.
In short, Russia has relatively low restrictions on the use of nuclear weapons. can be said that nuclear weapons are Russia's most powerful weapon to deal with the eastward expansion of NATO countries.
In the Russian-Ukraine war, Russian President Putin In order to deal with the inspiring Western countries' intervention in the Russian-Ukraine war, he said: Russia's strategic nuclear forces have entered a special state of war readiness.
It can be said that this move has forced Western countries to take cautious approaches when discussing intervention in the Russian-Ukrainian war.
Although Western countries continue to provide intelligence and weapon support to Ukraine , no NATO country dares to send troops to the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield in the name of a country, and does not have the courage to launch an attack on Russia's mainland.
This move has greatly protected Russia, whose national strength is declining.
Although Russia's strategic nuclear power has been greatly reduced, it is still the country with the most powerful nuclear strike capability in the world.
land-based deployment of mobile nuclear missile launchers, fixed launch silos, strategic bombers, and missile nuclear submarines are among the top three nuclear countries in the world.
It can be said that Russia's nuclear strike logic has left Russia with no worries about using its nuclear power strategy first.
Take the strategic nuclear submarine for example. Russia's strategic nuclear submarine is only 3-4 less than the United States, and has about 200 vertical launch devices for nuclear missiles.
Russian Navy keeps at least three strategic missile nuclear submarines on combat readiness duty all year round. If a nuclear war occurs in , after receiving the order from the Kremlin nuclear counterattack, it can launch nuclear retaliation against the opponent in the shortest time.
3 strategic missile nuclear submarines can complete strikes on more than 10 big cities.
4: Russia's nuclear ability is beyond imagination
has hard-core strength and offensive nuclear strategy, which is not enough to prove that Russia is the only country that dares to use nuclear weapons. The United States has similar practices in the use of nuclear weapons as Russia. ,
But there is one thing that Russia cannot compare with other countries, that means that Russia's nuclear tolerance is greater than any other nuclear country.
First of all, the UK and France have the weakest nuclear ability. Take the UK as an example. The UK's land area is only 244,000 square kilometers.
60 million people live on hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land, and it can be said that even a small-scale nuclear war cannot bear it.
The United States' nuclear bearability is several levels higher than that of Britain and France. The large cities in the United States are mainly distributed within a range of hundreds of kilometers along the east and west coasts, and hundreds of millions of people are gathered in several major coastal cities.
The inland of the United States is a plain with an area of millions of kilometers and is an excellent target for intercontinental missiles. If a nuclear war breaks out between the United States and Russia, the big cities gathered in the plains will suffer the most severe population losses.
Russia's territory is nearly 1 times that of the United States, with a total population of more than half that of the United States, with fewer large cities and relatively scattered.
If a nuclear war breaks out, Russia may not be able to destroy all the well-deployed "Ministry 3" intercontinental missiles , stealth bomber bases and all strategic nuclear submarines on duty underwater combat readiness.
However, tens of millions of large cities in the United States may become "hostages" of the Russian strategic rocket forces. If the United States dares to launch a nuclear attack on Russia, the losses suffered will be far greater than those of Russia.
5: Conclusion
It can be said that nuclear war is the heaviest war disaster in human history. Since World War II , no country has dared to use nuclear weapons in conventional wars.
But this does not mean that human beings are not facing the threat of nuclear war. As a super-powered nuclear power and a world-class power with the strongest nuclear strike resistance, Russia has both offense and defense at the level of nuclear war. It can be regarded as a country qualified to use nuclear power, and to some extent restricts the Americans' strategic impulse.
