The threat was made by the Director General of the Russian State Space Corporation (Roscosmos), Dmitry Rogozin.
Rogozin, who once served as deputy prime minister for defence, said on Sunday it would take only half an hour for Russia to crush NATO countries, but insisted it must not be allowed to happen.
Rogozin said on his Telegram channel: “In a nuclear war, NATO countries will be destroyed by us within half an hour.”
“But we must not allow it, because the consequences of a nuclear strike exchange will affect the state of our Earth.” express.co.ukMonday (9/5/2022).

“NATO is waging war against us. It didn’t say it, but it didn’t change anything. Now it’s clear to everyone,” continued the Roscosmos boss.
“Ukrainian national battalions and the Ukrainian Armed Forces are consumables, cannon fodder for NATO, they are just operators trained by NATO instructors pushing the levers and buttons of NATO weapons,” he said.
In response to President Vladimir Putin’s February 24 announcement of a “special military operation” in Ukraine, Rogozin noted that it had gone beyond its original meaning.
He said, “Now is the war for the truth and Russia’s right to live as a single and independent state.”
