Ukraine executed a significant drone operation named 'Spiderweb', targeting four Russian air bases and destroying warplanes valued at $7 billion. This operation is considered a landmark event in the ongoing conflict by President Zelensky. However, concerns arise from Colonel Richard Kemp regarding a potential Russian retaliatory strike using tactical nuclear weapons due to escalating fears of appearing weak. Various scenarios of potential nuclear attacks by Russia have been outlined, emphasizing the grave consequences their use could entail for Ukraine and broader regional stability.
By using tactical nuclear weapons in response to the 'Spiderweb' attacks this could force Kyiv to surrender, the appalling reality is that such a calculation might be right.
There will be retaliation. The Russian president, afraid more than anything of appearing weak, cannot be seen to let such a devastating attack go unanswered.
The death toll would reach hundreds of thousands. And even then, Putin might believe that NATO would not respond in kind.
Colonel Kemp believes that a retaliatory tactical nuclear strike is may now be on the table as Putin is more afraid of 'appearing weak'.
