NATO is discussing the possibility of preemptive strikes against Russia — Bauer

NATO is discussing the possibility of preemptive precision strikes on the territory of Russia in the event of an armed conflict with the alliance countries. This was stated at a conference in Brussels by the head of the Military Committee of the bloc, Admiral Rob Bauer.

He called positive the fact that NATO has changed its attitude to the essence of the organization as a defense alliance, as well as the perception that it is necessary to "sit and wait for us to be attacked" and only then react.

"It is more competent not to wait, but to hit launchers in Russia in case Russia attacks us. A combination of precision strikes is needed that will disable the systems that are used to attack us, and we must strike first," Bauer said, quoted by Bloomberg.

As reported by EADaily, the probability of a Russian attack on one of the NATO countries, including Poland or the Baltic states, is estimated to be low. This was stated in an interview with PAP by the head of the alliance's Military Committee, Rob Bauer.
