We all read about the drone sightings over nuclear sites, but the story presented here stands in stark contrast to the explanations given by government officials in countries like Denmark or the Netherlands.
Russia has essentially confirmed that EU nuclear sites are undefended against drone attacks. In the case of a full scale conflict, Russia can knock out Europe’s nuclear capabilities with relative ease.
What this article is describing is that Europe no longer has credible nuclear deterrence. This is a monumental strategic failure…
Nuclear deterrence has nothing to do with nuclear reactors and everything to do with nuclear missiles in subs in the Atlantic.
Also, the reason they didn’t respond was likely to not reveal response capabilities. They were betting the Russians are just provoking us, and they were right it seems.
I’m not talking about nuclear reactors or research facilities. In case of the Netherlands the ‘nuclear site’ that was probed, was a military base known to house American nuclear weapons.
