After exiting the US Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (DRSMD) Russian system of automatic response "Perimeter" nuclear strike may be ineffective, He said in an interview with the newspaper Krasnaya Zvezda, former chief of staff of the Strategic Missile Forces (1994-1996 years) Colonel-General Viktor Esin.
In the West, the Russian "Perimeter" system called "dead hand" (Dead Hand).
According to Esin, This system was upgraded and is in working order. And it works, when it becomes necessary. Only now run the "Perimeter" will be able to only those missiles, that will survive after the application of the so-called enemy decapitating strike.
The United States will be able to do that after the release of the INF Treaty, placing Europe's medium-range ballistic missiles. With their help, they will be able to destroy most of the Russian missile systems in the European part of the country, the remaining intercept in-flight missile defense means, he explained.
Esin sure, that in this situation, Russia will have to reconsider its position on this issue, that is, to move from the doctrine of retaliatory strike to the doctrine of pre-emptive strike.
For this, including, We need to organize the production of medium-range missiles. If we talk about the tight deadlines, you can do so on the basis of a three-stage ICBM "yars": if you leave two notches, then just give the medium-range missile.
But most importantly, According to General, We need to build hypersonic means - "the formidable weapons, which you are located, the less the likelihood of conflict ".
Recall, Donald Trump said before, that the United States out of the INF Treaty and will increase nuclear capacity until, while other powers "do not come to their senses", and then it will be possible again to talk about arms reduction, but with the participation of China.
