Military: General believes NATO is clearly superior to Russia in conflict

US General Alexus Grynkewich, NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, says Russia is militarily inferior to NATO in the event of a large-scale conflict. Grynkewich stated that Russia lacks modern military capabilities, such as F-35 fighter jets and a large number of modern destroyers and submarines. He believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin will not launch a conventional attack on Europe, instead using methods like sabotage.

Grynkewich also commented on recent threats from Moscow regarding the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, stating that NATO is a defensive alliance and Russia has no reason to worry about it.
