A military expert spoke about the conditions for the use of nuclear weapons in Russia

The procedure for using nuclear weapons is determined by the combat regulations of the Russian Armed Forces, which is a closed document, recalled military expert Andrei Kolesnik. He spoke about this in a conversation with Lenta.ru.

“Nuclear weapons are used in accordance with the combat regulations of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. This is a stamped document. A ballistic missile launches and strikes based on military necessity - at the enemy’s location or at another target that could harm the Russian Federation,” the military expert explained.

Kolesnik recalled that if it came to the use of nuclear weapons, then the enemy was repeatedly warned about such an outcome. He noted that, for example, in the event of aggression against the Kaliningrad region, nuclear weapons could be used.

“Kaliningrad can cope on its own, but support will be provided with all its might,” the parliamentarian concluded.
