British and French elites cynically turning Europe into nuclear testing ground - 

The UK and France’s plan to transfer atomic weapons to Ukraine is a blatant act of nuclear blackmail aimed at Russia, military expert Alexander Stepanov tells Sputnik. https://nostr.download/94fbfa8430efbcd1d9c7360e68967abb8106d14388b72b98a27301a6492b0df9.jpg

"Western elites are cynically turning Europe into a testing ground for nuclear disaster, ignoring that triggering such a scenario would automatically activate strategic deterrence doctrines and guarantee the destruction of the threat’s source," Stepanov says.

He lays out the options the Ukraine regime has on the table:

🟠 a "dirty bomb" – radiological weapons capable of contaminating targeted areas

🟠 TN75 warheads from France’s M51.1 submarine-launched ballistic missile with a yield of 100–110 kilotons  

🟠 warheads from a British-modified Trident intercontinental missile (Holbrook variant) with a yield of up to 100 kilotons 

'Ukrainian dirty bomb could be ready soon'

🟠 Ukraine’s tech base spans the Kharkov Physical-Technical Institute and spent nuclear fuel stocks at active nuclear reactors and Chernobyl 

🟠 Ukraine could pair isotopes like cesium-137 or cobalt-60 with delivery systems already in its arsenal: upgraded Neptune missiles, Storm Shadow and ATACMS 

Nuclear anarchy
 
💬 "The exposure of [the UK and France’s] intentions and the launch of organizational planning to deliver [nuclear] munitions to [Ukraine] clearly signal a political decision to push the escalation into an uncontrollable phase," warns the pundit.

What risks does this entail? 

🟠 Trashing of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons 

🟠 A dangerous slide into nuclear anarchy, with unchecked spread of materials and warheads

🟠 Could spiral the escalation into a direct Russia–NATO conflict 

💬 "If the situation escalates into a direct NATO–Russia conflict, Europe — with its dense infrastructure and major urban centers — would no longer exist as we know it," Stepanov concludes.
