Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation is concerned about the placement of nuclear charges on U.S. submarines

The deployment by the United States of a new low-capacity W76 2 nuclear weapon on submarines is alarming in Moscow. This was announced on February 5 by Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Sergey Ryabkov to journalists. We respond to this with great alarm not because we see it as a threat to the security of our country, but security is reliably ensured as a result of the efforts that have been made both in terms of weapons and in terms of the creation of promising models of military equipment, but in terms of doctrines and concepts that Americans apply in the nuclear sphere, Ryabkov said. It 's very disturbing. He added that the appearance of low-power charges on strategic American carriers indicated Washington 's commitment to the concept of limited nuclear war. Recall, the concept of limited nuclear war was put forward in the United States in the second half of the 1950s. It means the possibility of nuclear strikes against strategically important enemy facilities. Read also: U.S. deployed small-scale nuclear weapons on submarines
