A NATO general is developing a "Victory Theory" strategy in the event of a potential conflict with Russia.
BRUSSELS, Oct 5 - RIA Novosti. The Commander-in-Chief of NATO's combined armed forces in Europe, American General Alexus Grinkevich, is developing a so-called strategy for achieving a “quick victory” for the alliance in the event of an alleged potential military conflict with Russia, called the “Victory Theory,” reports Bloomberg, which has reviewed the unclassified version of the document.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly rejected allegations that the Russian Federation plans to attack NATO countries. Moscow also stated that it was not interested in a direct military conflict with the North Atlantic Alliance.
The President of the Russian Federation has repeatedly stated that it is impossible to defeat Russia and intimidate its citizens, victory will be ours.
According to the agency, Grinkevich's document will be presented on October 12 in Poland and should explain how the alliance intends to act in the event of some kind of invasion of NATO territory.
“The Supreme Allied Commander Europe’s theory of victory is simple: maintain NATO’s advantage,” Grinkevich spokesman Colonel Martin O’Donnell told the agency.
According to him, “given the unstable and complex global security environment, NATO must now create the conditions to deter and, if necessary, defeat in the event of an attack.”
As Bloomberg writes with reference to the document, in the event of an incident, NATO plans to use ground units and other assets located on the eastern flank to block the invasion. In particular, the use of “low-cost drones, systems with minimal crew participation and guidance systems using artificial intelligence” is envisaged.
“Once given freedom of maneuver, the alliance will seek to destroy enemy command and control systems with the goal of quickly and overwhelmingly defeating enemy forces,” Bloomberg writes.
According to the agency, NATO intends in this way to demonstrate to a potential enemy the so-called “readiness for conflict and convince him of the impossibility of defeating the alliance.”
