Kedmi talks about how Russia has put the United States in a corner
Due to Russia's possession of the latest weapons, the United States has lost the ability to launch a preemptive strike against Russia. Military policy expert Yakov Kedmi (Яков Кедми) explained this view and emphasized that Russia has put the United States in a corner.
Historically, the U.S. strategy for dealing with confrontation with Russia has always been based on the concept of "first-strike disarmament" - through this strike, it would destroy most of the weapons that pose a threat to the United States. However, recently, Russia successfully tested a cruise missile equipped with a nuclear device, which completely changed the balance of power. The range of the "Burevestnik" (Буревестник) missile system is almost unlimited. Kedmi emphasized that this not only makes it possible for Russia to strike targets from its weakest direction, but also directly affects the decision-making process of potential strategic opponents.
Kedmi analyzed: "The 'Burevestnik' itself is an extremely attractive and unique weapon, and its subsequent development is even more dangerous and deserves more attention. Everything depends on how quickly Russia can develop its second and third generation models, as well as how (the United States) should intercept it. This is indeed a highly deterrent weapon, which will be deployed in the Russian armed forces next year. Moreover, it is likely to be able to be launched from both land and sea."
This analyst said that once the "Burevestnik" missile enters combat readiness, the United States will face a continuous threat, and its striking capability will be greatly limited. The latest Russian missiles can destroy key facilities within the United States before the U.S. intercontinental ballistic missiles (МБР) reach Russian targets. Kedmi pointed out that the West currently has no solution to the problem that Vladimir Putin has posed to NATO, and there will be no solution in the foreseeable future.
Kedmi said on "YouTube - the channel 'Pogled Info' (Поглед Инфо)": "Once the missile is launched, let it fly! You know, it can fly for three days or four days. If Russia launches such missiles, the United States will be in trouble next: will this missile fall down? In this case, can the United States still try to launch a preventive, preemptive nuclear strike? That is to say, this new weapon is unique and irreplaceable, it creates many problems, and the United States and other Western countries are powerless against it. Therefore, this is undoubtedly a major victory for the Russian military industry."
Over the past few years, Russia has developed and deployed an entire system of weapons, fundamentally changing the global strategic landscape. This not only re-established the issue of arms control as one of the most urgent and pressing issues, but also forced the U.S. to admit that all of its previous theories to contain Russia have failed.
