Russia's Baltic Fleet, largely based close to many NATO states, would zero in on alliance sites in Germany and Norway, according to a new report.
Russia has trained its naval forces to strike NATO targets in Europe, including using nuclear-capable missiles, in preparation for a possible conflict with the alliance, according to a new report.Files from between 2008 and 2014, seen by the Financial Times, show a list of NATO targets across the continent for potential, widespread Russian missile strikes using either conventional warheads or tactical nuclear weapons.
Prominent Russian officials, such as former President Dmitry Medvedev, and Russian state television commentators have frequently alluded to or directly referenced the prospect of nuclear war. Some state media hosts and guests have suggested Moscow launch nuclear strikes on countries such as the U.S. and the U.K., that support Kyiv's war effort.
