U.S. Department of defense began to develop a fundamentally new strategy of warfare, which has received the name “Trojan horse”, said the head of the Russian General staff Valery Gerasimov. Its essence lies in destabilizing the situation inside the country of the enemy and simultaneously strikes with precision weapons on key targets in its territory. Gerasimov said that Moscow is able to prevent such actions. According to him, the development of the military strategy of the Russian Federation should go a step ahead of its potential opponents. Experts believe that the equipment of the Russian army allows to repel any military threats and subversive activities successfully neutralized by law enforcement.

The U.S. Department of defense began development of a new strategy of warfare, which involves the simultaneous use of the fifth column protests and strikes with precision weapons (WTO) on key enemy targets. This was during a conference on the development of the military strategy of Russia, said the head of the General staff of the Russian Armed forces Valery Gerasimov.

“The Pentagon has begun to develop a fundamentally new strategy of warfare, which has been dubbed the “Trojan horse”. Its essence lies in the active use of protest potential of the fifth column in the interests of the destabilization with the simultaneous strikes of the WTO on the most important objects”, — TASS quotes Gerasimov.

The chief of the General staff noted that the Russian Federation is ready to stop use of this strategy. He said that in recent years, military scientists together with the General staff developed conceptual approaches for the neutralization of the aggressive actions of potential enemies.

Deputy defense Minister added that the Russian response to such actions is a strategy of active defense, which includes carrying out a range of measures to proactively neutralize threats to national security, given the defensive character of the military doctrine of the Russian Federation.

“It is the justification of the developed measures should be scientific work of military scientists. This is one of the priority areas of ensuring security of the state. We need to get ahead of the enemy in the development of military strategy, going a step ahead,” — said Gerasimov.

According to the head of the General staff, now the United States and its allies are working out how the scenario of offensive military action and the use of technologies of “soft power” for the destruction of statehood disagreeable countries.

“The US and its allies have defined the aggressive vector of its foreign policy. They worked out the military action of an offensive nature, such as “global strike”, “mnogomernoi battle” uses the technology of “color revolutions” and “soft power”, — said Gerasimov.

“Their goal is the elimination of the statehood of the unwanted, the undermining of sovereignty, change of legitimately elected institutions of state power. So it was in Iraq, Libya and Ukraine. At present, similar effects are observed in Venezuela”, he added.

Nothing new

According to the Vice-President of the Russian Academy of geopolitical problems Vladimir Anokhin, in the described embodiment of a hybrid war discusses two phases impact on the enemy. The first is to search the protest electorate and its leaders, then these forces should “shake” the situation in the country.

“They distract and weaken the leadership of the state, create a certain background, sway public opinion and disbalansiruet social life, which affects the morale of the armed forces. Nothing new in this strategy is not” — said the expert.

“With regard to technical equipment and strategies of suppression, we have developed operational plans that are currently in the shortest possible time to suppress any enemy. The Americans have already “scratched turnip”, because I thought, how many minutes will receive a crushing blow,” — said the interlocutor of RT.

In turn, the chief editor of the magazine “national defense” Igor Korotchenko stated that Russia is ready to confront both military and hybrid threats from other States. He noted that in Russia, established and operated a robust system of aerospace defense, including large complexes (C-300, C-400, with the prospect of deliveries of s-500 in the foreseeable future), medium (“Buk-M2 and Buk-M3”) and small (“tor-M2”) range.

“A network of radar stations that can detect any targets, including stealth and in stealth technology. Therefore, any attempts to secretly infiltrate and strike with precision weapons will not succeed by definition, because of the developed complexes and systems reliably ensure the security of the country”, — said the expert.

When speaking about the activity of the fifth column, he noted the effective work of the interior Ministry and FSB of Russia that will not allow the anti-constitutional actions in the country on the part of those “who is on the content of the US and its Western satellites”.

“So all these concepts are no more than wishes that cannot be implemented in practical terms. But in any case, there is capacity to respond in such situations,” concluded Korotchenko.

“Any potential aggressor should understand that every form of pressure on Russia and its allies is futile. Our response will not keep itself waiting. For this adopted and deployed modern weapons, including fundamentally new types of weapons,” — said Gerasimov in his speech.

However, the head of the General staff has again drawn attention to the fact that the creation of new samples of military technology should not and will not involve the Russian Federation in a senseless arms race. And sufficient to deter the potential adversary, the number of new complexes will be established within the existing military budget.

Serious provocation

I should add that on the strategy of “Trojan horse” that the US could use against Russia and China, mentioned in one of the February materials in the Western press. The author then German portal Telepolis compared with this ancient tactic voiced by the chief of staff, U.S. air force David Goldfein considerations. However, then speech did not go about any subversive activities of the fifth column.

Speaking at the Brookings institution, Goldfein told about the new strategy, the essence of which is a covert penetration into enemy territory and strike at its vulnerable parts. This strategy (the development of which the Pentagon expects to receive $135 billion) involves strikes all types of troops, but a key role in such operations is given to the F-35.

The United States will try to provoke and incite in Venezuela an armed civil conflict, consider RT interviewed experts….

“If some China, or Russia, or any other global opponent had a chance to see the F-35 in its airspace, if they are happy to have sent letters from two words: “We are here”. Not “I’m here” — the F-35 will never fly one. We’re here… We’ve been watching you. We know what’s going on, and we have already bypassed all the defenses that you are sure you have,” said then, Goldfein.

Such statements by senior military was met with skepticism in the expert community. In particular, a military observer and head of the military section of the Izborsk club Vladislav Shurygin noted that the described General strategy is based on the principle of division of society and attempts to implement something like we are seeing now in Venezuela.

“All the hidden invasion is possible only in one case — when the internal situation in the country is in a state of crisis, and the society loses its inner integrity. So in American terms is nothing new, the strategy is banal and known for many years,” said Shurygin.

In turn, a military analyst Andrei Koshkin on radio Sputnik noted that such statements are similar to a serious provocation and do not contribute to the stabilization of the situation in the world.

“If it’s actually real strategic development and they are conducted, they usually and publicly a secret about them no one will speak,” said Koshkin.

However, he expressed the opinion that no country in the world, including the United States, is unable to carry out the invasion of Russia, the more “widespread and deep”.
