British Colonel Grant on Russia's tactics in potential war with West

He expressed this opinion on Espreso TV.

“There's no play in this at all. This is Russia launching an offensive with what it has, and as it acquires more resources, it will continue its offensive. Russia knows that the Ukrainian frontline is stretched, so they will always be looking for vulnerable points to  break through, somewhere where Ukraine is not strong enough,“ said Grant.

The British colonel emphasized that Russia will try to force the West and Ukraine to fight a primitive war.

“What's interesting is the reports coming out of America suggesting that Russia may be considering firing a nuclear weapon into space. If they do, the aim would be to disrupt communications, disable GPS, actually to bring the not just the Ukrainian side, but the West down to their level of fighting, in other words to try and remove technology from the equation. This would force both Ukraine and the West into a more primitive style of warfare, aligning with Russia's preferred tactics,” he added.

According to Grant, Russia cannot win the war of technology, so it will take measures to offset the West's technological advantage.

“I think this is a distinct possibility because as technology advances in the West and in Ukraine, it becomes increasingly challenging for Russia to achieve its objectives, and they will be more likely to lose. Therefore, we may see Russia taking measures to level the technological playing field by disrupting GPS and satellite communications. So don't be surprised if such actions occur,” he emphasized.

• On February 12, Norway's chief of military intelligence, Niels Andreas Stensens, said that Russia has gained a military advantage in Ukraine due to a larger reserve of troops and material support from countries such as North Korea and China.

• On Tuesday, February 13, the Estonian Foreign Intelligence Service said that Russia is preparing for a military confrontation with the West over the next decade, but it may be deterred by a retaliatory military buildup.

• On February 17, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said at the Munich Security Conference that the Alliance is stronger than Russia in military matters, but it also has gaps.
