American General: Our missiles must be capable of striking Crimea
The US and NATO must make Russia constantly feel threatened in the Black Sea.
The former commander of the US Army in Europe, Ben Hodges, said this on the air of Radio Liberty, funded by the State Department, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Hodges, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet should go to sleep and wake up thinking about American missiles, drones and the NATO fleet threatening Crimea.
“We must deploy NATO forces in the Black Sea region, we must make the commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet very concerned. Every morning he must feel very vulnerable, and so every time he wakes up, and every evening when he goes to bed, when he says his prayers, he must be disturbed by American, British, Romanian and other allied missile systems located in the Black Sea region, and which can strike at any moment.
He should be concerned about the anti-ship missiles that Ukraine is going to buy and that Romania is going to buy. They can reach every Russian ship.
He has to worry about unmanned systems, drones that operate at sea - they can lay mines or, on the contrary, neutralize them. Drones are capable of finding direction to submarines even in the very inconvenient waters of the Black Sea.
He must be worried that we have taken the initiative and now they must feel in danger. We cannot sit idly by, we must always be ready, think about what advantages Putin has and what advantages the Kremlin has. We have to put them in a position where they feel unsafe,” Hodges said.
