According to Washington and Berlin, preparations are underway for the long-term deployment in Europe of such types of long-range weapons as SM-6 and Tomahawk cruise missiles, as well as hypersonic weapons with a greater range than those currently in service in Europe.

On June 28 in St. Petersburg, Putin spoke to sailors from Russia, China, Algeria and India. This happened at a meeting dedicated to Russian Navy Day. The Russian leader said that such a step could provoke a Cold War-style crisis.

On the subject: What is the likelihood of a third world war, and why can’t we avoid it?

“The flight time of such missiles, which can carry nuclear warheads to targets on our territory, will be about 10 minutes,” the head of the Russian Federation said. “We will take mirror measures to deploy our missiles, taking into account the actions of the United States and its satellites in Europe and other regions of the world.”

Putin said that the United States is fueling tension in the world. They allegedly transferred Typhon missile systems to Denmark and the Philippines. The Russian dictator compared the US plans to NATO's decision to deploy Pershing II launchers in Western Europe in 1979.

At the time, the Soviet leadership, including General Secretary Yuri Andropov, feared that the deployment of the Pershing II was part of a complex US plan to decapitate the Soviet Union and destroy its political and military leadership.
