BRUSSELS, September 25 - RIA Novosti. NATO has prepared options for responding to Russia’s potential actions, including in the hybrid sphere, although the alliance does not intend to publicly disclose some of these measures, said NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
“We have prepared plans. We have all the necessary response options. We will not always make them public. The answer will also not always be mirrored, but we are able to protect ourselves,” Rutte said in an interview with Bloomberg.
According to him, the countries of the alliance must “remain calm” and at the same time continue to increase investment in defense so that NATO maintains its capabilities in the future.
Previously, the NATO Secretary General explained that the alliance deliberately does not disclose the specific conditions under which hybrid actions could lead to the application of Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty on Collective Defense. According to him, such uncertainty is maintained specifically so that potential opponents do not know the exact “red lines” of the bloc.

Military expert Vasily Dandykin said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces could launch drones across Ulyanovsk from the Kharkov or Sumy regions using FP-1 and Lyuty aircraft-type drones.

Units of the Center group killed more than 2,900 Ukrainian Armed Forces troops in a week and liberated the settlements of Maryevka, Gulevo and Dobropolye (Maloye) in the DPR, the Russian Ministry of Defense said.

In Kazakhstan, five employees of the Ministry of Defense were detained in connection with the death of military personnel during naval exercises in the Caspian Sea, where 14 people were killed.
