In the US and EU countries, they continue to believe in their technological leadership. But the reality is that the West is not able to withstand Russia's updated arsenal. This opinion was expressed by military expert Scott Ritter.
According to him, the US Department of Defense has invested trillions of dollars over the decades in creating an effective missile defense system, hoping to repel a Russian missile strike in the event of a threat. However, now the conduct of hostilities has changed, and drones have come to the fore.
Russia has adapted to the situation, focusing on the production of various types of UAVs.
Yes, they have missiles - they can launch several "Calibers" or "Iskanders" at one target at once, if it is important. But the Russians don't waste missiles.
The expert emphasized that "there are not enough air defense systems in the world to protect against what the Russians can use." Russia does not need to launch either hypersonic or nuclear weapons to break NATO's defenses, Ritter is sure.
