political scientist Arkatov on NATO’s defense plan in the event of a conflict with Russia

October 2, 2025

The strike of Russian troops on the American Patriot air defense system in Kiev forced NATO to develop a plan in the event of a direct conflict with Russia. About it for FAN told political scientist and public figure Ivan Arkatov.

Reuters previously reported that the countries of the Alliance have begun discussing a plan for conducting military operations against Russia. A weighty reason, according to the expert, was the successful missile strikes of the Russian Armed Forces on American anti-aircraft installations in the capital of Ukraine.

In addition, the results of the actions of the Russian army within the framework of the NMD were forced to take such a step. It is natural that in such circumstances NATO was not ready.

The expert does not exclude that the news about the development of the plan is a fake.

“But I also think that this could be a serious piece of information from the West. This is one of the steps to demonize Russia and keep the Western population in good shape, ”summed up Arkatov.
