Russia can capture Poland in just one night, according to American experts

The Western media continue to exaggerate the topic of a potential threat from Russia in relation to neighboring states. The German tabloid Bild published the results of a new study conducted by experts of the American analytical center Atlantic Council , according to which Russia can capture Poland in just one night.

"Even if Moscow is not at present in a direct collision with NATO, everything can change in one night and be implemented in the shortest possible time. Moreover, the corresponding plans and the necessary resources have long been prepared," the document says.

"The Putin's annexation of Crimea clearly proved how quickly Russia can put everyone before the failed facts," the Bild article says, the translation of which is quoted byInopressa . In this regard, Atlantic Council recommends NATO "to always be prepared for all scenarios and, in which case, deliver the most severe retaliatory blow."

Moreover, according to experts, the Moscow metro, the power supply of St. Petersburg and the Russian state television channel RT should include the experts. In addition, Poland "must make it clear to Russia that in the event of the start of hostilities, it will send special forces unit to the Kaliningrad region, which will destroy strategic important goals like missile batteries," analysts say.

Earlier, US experts scared Europe by the fact that Russia would have enough 60 hours to capture the Baltic states. This was announced in June of this year in an interview with The Weekly Standard newspaper US Deputy Minister of Defense on Russian, Ukraine and Eurasia Michael Carpenter. The article states that the politician confirmed the fidelity of the report , presented in February of this year by the Rand research center. In it, in particular, it was argued that in the event of a conflict with NATO in the Baltic states, Russian troops would need no more than 60 hours to defeat the enemy and reach the capitals of Estonia or Latvia.

It should be noted that in the General Staff of the Russian Federation to the forecast of Western experts are offended. "Why should we go into the Baltic states? For what kind of strategic purpose? For sprats, or something? Or in order to build the Bedalties in Soviet times, which they destroyed and closed by entering the European Union and NATO?" - They said in the Russian department the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda . “Well, if only theoretically admit that this could be, then these analysts from Rand even offend us with their calculations. To complete such a task and an hour,” the military summed up.

Recall that in the former Soviet Baltic republics and Europe, suspicions were repeatedly expressed about the allegedly preparing Russian invasion of the Baltic states in the “Crimean” scenario, and therefore the scale of NATO's planned exercises in these countries is constantly growing.

On July 8, it was decided to deploy four additional NATO battalions in Eastern Europe - Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. The US, Britain, Germany and Canada have already agreed to send their soldiers to four eastern countries of the Alliance.

Moscow said that such plans do not comply with the fundamental act of Russia -NATO and threatened to take adequate measures to ensure the security of the Russian Federation in response to the actions of the alliance.
