Vladislav Shurygin explained how withdrawing from the START agreement is different from the suspension of participation.
“The suspension is a headache for the Americans. Under the treaty they have very clearly controlled our nuclear triad.
The predictability of one’s opponent provides great advantages. The deal was that we would give each other these advantages together. It was also in those years, in general, that one way or another it seemed possible to accept and somehow shape the existing world in such a way as to be convenient and safe for all. , ”- said the military expert.
He explained that all these years, Russia adhered to this agreement, not allowing Russian groups to control its strategic facilities, even when the Americans really began to violate it.
At the same time, according to the expert, the Russian side warned the United States of any movement of its strategic nuclear forces.
“We kept our strategic aviation at the airfields specified in the contract, our unpaved complexes went on combat duty to the areas controlled by the Americans, and today, of course, we created a huge headache for them,” Shurygin said in the publication. .show “Let me explain”.
The expert expressed his confidence that Russia would not be the first to withdraw from the START agreement and suggested that the Americans “lagging behind the Russians in nuclear weapons” could be the first to withdraw.
