According to him, recently the USA has been actively working on developing penetrating low-power nuclear missiles. At the same time, Ivashov pointed out that such intensification of development of new kinds of weapons had been last registered in the USA right before the war in Yugoslavia. "There is no doubt that the USA will use nuclear weapons, which have already been delivered to US military bases in Kuwait," the Russian military expert reported. In Ivashov's opinion, if the coalition troops meet powerful resistance, the USA will use nuclear weapons. "Losing the war is unacceptable for the Bush administration," Ivashov pointed out. ------------------------------------------------------ http://en.rian.ru/rian/index.cfm?prd_id=160&msg_id=3113372&startrow=11&date=2003-03-18&do_alert=0 Russian Information Agency (Novosti) March 18, 2003 RUSSIAN EXPERT ON WAR IN IRAQ MOSCOW, March 18, 2003. /From RIA Novosti correspondent Pyotr Goncharov/--The war in Iraq will be a lengthy one and will infer heavy losses, Colonel-General Leonid Ivashov, the Vice-President of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems, said on Tuesday. "For the United States, the war in Iraq will be far from an easy stride," announced the general. Despite the USA having amassed a powerful fighting force, it will hardly be able to achieve a blitzkrieg, he said, adding that Iraq had a distinct advantage where land forces were concerned and that once the US launched a land operation, the war would become a lengthy affair. In Ivashov's opinion, the States would conduct the war in accordance with "the classic scheme": a crippling stroke on the state management infrastructure and Iraq's troops' command posts with the help of aviation and cruise missiles, a stroke on what remains of its air defence systems, and a stroke on Iraq's land forces. "US specialists are planning to test up to 300 types of new weapons during the military action in Iraq, maybe including low-power nuclear warfare," said the general. ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.rbcnews.com/free/20030318161709.shtml RBC.ru (Russia) March 18, 2003 Duma official on Iraqi conflict RBC, 18.03.2003, Moscow 16:17:09.The beginning of military operations in Iraq would mean that the security system, which was created in the world after World War II, has collapsed, State Duma Defense Committee Chairman Andrey Nikolayev has told journalists. Moreover, it would question the functioning of the UN as the instrument for preserving the current order. Iraq will use every resource during a possible military confrontation, he noted and added that the USA would not miss the possibility to test new weapons. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
