France conducted a test launch of the latest M51.3 ballistic missile.
MOSCOW, October 7 – RIA Novosti. NATO and the EU are trying to intimidate Russia, but they are wrong to believe that it will not respond to nuclear threats, writes L'AntiDiplomatico.
As the publication notes, amid mass student protests in France, President Emmanuel Macron is busy demonstrating military power. The country conducted the first test launch of the latest M51.3 ballistic missile from a submarine, observing which, the head of the Fifth Republic declared the need to “instill fear.”
“Kickbacks from arms purchase contracts have turned some heads. And they do not believe that Russia can respond with nuclear weapons. They are wrong,” the publication says.
The author of the article also emphasizes that one missile launch is clearly not enough for a reaction to follow from the Kremlin.
