Russia says it will use preventative nuclear
strikes on any aggressor
A top Russian security official says Moscow reserves the right to conduct
pre-emptive nuclear strikes to safeguard the country against aggression on
both a large and a local scale, according to a newspaper interview published
Oct 14, 2009.
Presidential Security Council chief Nikolai Patrushev also singled out
the U.S. and NATO, saying Moscow's Cold War foes still pose potential
threats to Russia despite what he called a global trend toward local
conflicts.
The interview appeared in the daily Izvestia during a visit by U.S.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, as U.S. and Russian
negotiators try to hammer out a nuclear arms reduction treaty by December.
It also came amid grumbling in Moscow over U.S. moves to modify plans for a
missile shield near Russia's borders rather than ditch the idea outright.
Patrushev said a sweeping document on military policy including a passage on
preventative nuclear force will be handed to President Dmitry Medvedev by
the end of the year, according to Izvestia.
Officials are examining "a variety of possibilities for using nuclear force,
depending on the situation and the intentions of the possible opponent,"
Patrushev was quoted as saying. "In situations critical to national
security, options including a preventative nuclear strike on the aggressor
are not excluded."
The proposed doctrine would allow for the use of nuclear weapons "to repel
an aggression with the use of conventional weapons not only in a large-scale
but also in a regional and even local war," Patrushev was quoted as saying.
He said a government analysis of the threat of conflict in the world showed
"a shift from large-scale conflicts to local wars and armed conflicts."
Russian military analysts said the hawkish former domestic intelligence
chief's remarks were mostly muscle-flexing for show, because what he
revealed about the proposed new doctrine suggests it differs little from the
current one.
One independent analyst, Alexander Golts, said current policy already allows
for a nuclear strike to repel an aggression of any sort. Another, Pavel
Felgenhauer, said that effectively allows for a pre-emptive strike because
the type of aggression that would warrant such a strike is not clearly
defined.
Analysts said the description of the proposed policy shows Russia's growing
reliance on nuclear arms as its conventional arsenal decays and unpopular
military reforms stall. Observers say the war with Georgia exposed frailties
in Russia's military, adding urgency to planned reforms.
