NATO’s New Defense Plan Includes Strikes Deep Into Russia
Kyiv Post • • world
Key Points:
- NATO is developing defense plans that include precision strikes deep inside Russia targeting military bases, supply networks, and industrial facilities to disrupt an invasion, reflecting lessons learned from Russia's war in Ukraine.
- The strategy, led by U.S. Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, shifts from solely preventing Russian advances at NATO borders to actively striking back at the military-industrial base to undermine Russia’s war-sustaining capabilities.
- Proposed strikes could reach from 150 kilometers up to thousands of kilometers behind the front line using precision missiles and drones, aiming to make such counterattacks an automatic NATO response to Russian aggression.
- European countries are expanding their missile stockpiles and developing new cruise missile systems, while Ukraine has adopted a similar approach with longer-range strikes inside Russia.
- Despite military planning, analysts highlight political challenges remain, as European leaders may hesitate to authorize offensive operations necessary to effectively stop and defeat a Russian attack.
