NATO is expressing serious thoughts about the necessity of long-range missiles to enhance its defense capabilities against Russia in matters of ensuring European security. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to U.S. Army Major General John Rafferty, it is important for NATO to possess strong and modern weapon systems against potential aggressive actions from Russia. According to the expert, Russia is currently accelerating the production of long-range missiles and making significant investments in air defense.
This is leading European countries to become more dependent on the United States' modern missile systems. The experience of the war in Ukraine has once again demonstrated the decisive role of long-range weapons in eliminating important military and infrastructural targets behind the front lines.
It is emphasized that the Russian army is currently in a stronger and more threatening position in terms of military capability than at the beginning of the war. Therefore, NATO and European countries need to update their defense strategies and expedite their response measures.
The U.S. Army's artillery command is working on creating infrastructure for the temporary deployment of long-range strike missiles in Europe starting from 2026. This step will play a crucial role in strengthening European security.
Military cooperation between Europe and the U.S. is expected to reach a new level, with increased attention to long-range missiles and modern weapons aimed at enhancing NATO's defense capabilities. The new missile strategy of NATO is currently being discussed in terms of its ability to maintain balance with Russia and the necessity for additional measures for European security.
Investing in modern defense technologies and acting swiftly is of great importance in ensuring the stability of the European region.
