Times: UK and Germany discuss ways to destroy Russia's nuclear weapons

The British newspaper The Times, citing a diplomatic source, claims that the UK is considering the option of creating missiles with a range of 3.2 thousand kilometers, allegedly to destroy Russian nuclear weapons.

"Britain is considering the possibility of creating long-range missiles that can destroy nuclear weapons ... launched from Russia," the newspaper writes.

According to the source of the publication, Britain can develop these missiles together with Germany. The head of the British Ministry of Defense, apparently, discussed the project in Berlin during a visit on Wednesday. The missiles are also expected to be based on the territory of Germany, the Times said.

Earlier, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told the British newspaper Telegraph that NATO countries are discussing putting the alliance's nuclear warheads on alert. As the newspaper wrote, Stoltenberg explained that NATO must demonstrate its nuclear arsenal to the world in order to send a direct signal to the enemies of the North Atlantic Alliance. The NATO Secretary General added that China is actively investing in a nuclear arsenal, which, according to him, will grow to one thousand warheads by the early 2030s. According to him, this means that "in the not very distant future, NATO is likely to face something it has not faced before, namely, two potential adversaries with nuclear weapons — China and Russia."
