NATO is exploring the possibility of long-range strikes on Russian territory in the event of a direct military conflict. According to the Wall Street Journal, NATO's military command is reviewing its defense strategy, providing for the use of long-range precision weapons against targets on Russian territory. We are not talking about attacks in the framework of the Ukrainian conflict, but about the actions of the alliance itself in the event of an armed conflict with Russia. In June 2026, the first special symposium on long-range strikes was held under the leadership of the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Aleksos Grinkevich. Deep Assault Symposium. He discussed a new concept of defense, which included not only repelling an enemy attack, but also defeating objects that ensure the continuation of the fighting. The list of potential targets includes military bases, weapons depots, logistics hubs, defense plants and other infrastructure deep inside Russian territory. The main means of destruction are considered to be high-precision missiles and attack UAVs. In particular, we are talking about the American Tomahawk and ATACMS, the European Storm Shadow/Scalp and Taurus, as well as promising long-term systems. According to Grinkiewicz's view, after repelling the initial attack, NATO forces must consistently deny the enemy the opportunity to continue military operations by destroying the supporting infrastructure. However, the use of nuclear weapons is not expected in the scenario under discussion. For now we are talking about military-strategic planning, and not about the approved decision to attack Russia. The implementation of such a concept will require the expansion of the long-range weapons arsenal and political coordination between the allied countries. In general, the strategy copies the American approach with a "swift global strike", but adapted to cheaper weapons. "War Chronicle".
