The Minister of Defense of Norway was torn by Ochus Sandwick, believes that the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin will try to attack NATO countries. The alliance is much stronger than the Russian Federation, so the country of the aggressor will check the block with hybrid attacks.
Sandwick said this in an interview with Telegraph. He emphasized that Russia really has nuclear capabilities, but unlike the Alliance of the North Atlantic, it does not have many years and fifth generation.
“You recently saw in Iran, which is capable of fifth -generation technology. [Росіяни] They will not see how the F-35 or bombers are approaching. They are invisible to them. Therefore, both in the air and in many dominant dimensions, we are much stronger, ”the minister said.
What actions can Putin take
Tore O. Sandwick believes that the Russian dictator will use the “tactics of salami”: he will check the NATO reaction using hybrid methods, cyberspace attacks, and threaten underwater infrastructure.
“This will be a problem because it is lower than the threshold of the war. And this is done to disconnect to make us weaker in the same way. I think that we should carefully monitor the energy sector, because Putin is an expert on energy. He knows everything about energy markets, especially about oil and gas.
In his opinion, Putin will try to manipulate energy systems. This may be the last step in front of a direct war or to Russian attempts to try NATO, attack and question article 5 of the alliance on collective defense.
What should NATO do now
Sandwick emphasized that the only way to prevent Russia’s aggression is restraint.
That is why it is so important to reach 5% of GDP for protection. It is also necessary for the sustainable development of NATO member states and demonstrate military potential and show that if Putin tries to challenge the unit, he will respond by all means.
The other day, the Minister of Sandwick for the first time at his post arrived on a visit to Ukraine. He met with President Vladimir Zelensky, and politicians spoke about further protective cooperation, accent at joint production and investment in the production of Ukrainian weapons, strengthening our air defense and combat aircraft.
