Russia may attack NATO

The head of the Danish government expressed concern about the ability of the aggressor country to produce weapons.

It cannot be ruled out that in Within three to five years, Russia will test the strength of Article 5 and NATO solidarity. NATO had no such assumption in 2023. “This is new data that has become known now,” Poulsen emphasized.

At the same time, he noted that Denmark must be prepared to respond. The politician noted the need for investment in the country's defense industry.

This is not the first time they have spoken about this

< p>Earlier, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said that Russia could attack a member country of the North Atlantic Alliance. He called on the German army to be prepared for such a development of events.

At the same time, German experts believe that an armed confrontation between NATO and Russia is possible in 5 to 8 years.

Pistorius does not consider it likely that an aggressor will attack right now. However, I am inclined to trust the statements of experts that the war could unfold in the next few years.

What is the current situation with weapons in Russia: the latest news

• A recent report by analysts at the Institute for the Study of War states that the Russian defense industry is unlikely to be able to provide equipment to the new reserves of the occupying army. Despite the Kremlin’s constant attempts to expand the capabilities of the defense industry, the majority of the reserves remain ineffective.
• At the same time, Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov admitted that the European Union has better weapons and the army is bigger. According to him, Western countries have repeatedly proven that they can produce large quantities of everything necessary in a short time. He emphasized that one should not think that Russia has a significant advantage.
• Earlier, the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Moscow Region, Vadim Skibitsky, noted that everything that the Russians are now sending to the front and using against Ukraine what they have produced recently. Therefore, intelligence does not see that Moscow has significantly increased the number of weapons and the volume of production of weapons and military equipment.
• At the same time, Skibitsky emphasized that confirmation of the fact of a shortage of weapons in Russia is purchase of ammunition from Iran, North Korea, as well as removal of almost all ammunition from Belarusian warehouses.
