America’s goal of promoting the “Russian threat” in Europe / Moscow’s reaction to NATO’s increased activity near the borders

According to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency quoting “Tass” news agency, “Vladimir Ermakov”, director of the non-proliferation and arms control department at the Russian Foreign Ministry, believes that Washington is spreading the theory of “the existence of threats from Russia” in Europe with the aim of obtaining more allocations and orders for industries. It is the American military.

This high-ranking diplomat said in an interview with this news agency: “There is a strong feeling that the widespread theory about the “Russian threat” from Washington to the Europeans It is induced to receive more military aid from them and to impose on them the provision of American weapons. To this end, European leaders were pressured to ensure that the military of the former Warsaw Pact countries transfer weapons originating from the Soviet Union to Ukraine and place new orders for American military industries. =”text-align:justify”>In his opinion, the United States plans to fill the emerging shortage of weapons in European countries with its new military products. Of course, this is a fact and it is not clear whether their military industrial complex will cope with such a workload or not. At the same time, Ermakov believes that if the United States lacks weapons, Russia cannot “sit back and idly” and must continue to develop the Russian military industry, and the Russian Foreign Ministry, analyzing the information revealed about the military’s capabilities Other countries will help expand the country’s military capability.

Yermakov: The United States cannot reach Russia in the field of hypersonic systems In response to another question, the director of the Department of Non-Proliferation and Arms Control of the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that the United States cannot compete with the Russian Federation in the field of producing hypersonic weapons, so they are trying to downplay the potential of Russian military weapons.

Vladimir Ermakov explained: “When it comes to ultrasonic systems, Americans clearly feel vulnerable. For several years now, they have been unsuccessfully trying to catch up with Russia in terms of ultrasonic systems, but have yet to produce a prototype that meets the required specifications and has been properly tested. Therefore, meaningless efforts are being made to downplay Russia’s potential in building such systems.”

In an interview with Tass, he said: Western countries have launched a propaganda campaign and are trying to cast doubt on the effectiveness of Russian military weapons by publishing false information in the media. , for example, Kinjal (dagger) missiles, which have proven their high efficiency in the military conflict in Ukraine. This diplomat emphasized: They are using black public relations methods against Russia with pure false propaganda and trying to impose their narratives on the world community.

According to Ermakov, Washington It uses these methods to upgrade its anti-missile systems that are supplied to Kiev. Therefore, the United States is trying to exaggerate the reliability of its air and missile defense systems.
