## Key points

- NATO is considering strikes deep inside Russia if war breaks out.
- The aim would be to disrupt forces and the systems supporting them.
- European missile projects are under way, but could take years.

## Summary

NATO is rethinking how it would respond if Russia attacked Europe, with senior officials discussing precise long-range strikes against military and industrial targets deep inside Russia. The proposed approach aims to deter an invasion by disrupting the systems that sustain an offensive, rather than relying only on stopping forces at the border.

The strategy was discussed at NATO’s first Deep Strike Symposium in June, hosted by the alliance’s top military commander, US Air Force Gen. Alexus Grynkewich. The United States is expanding its precision missile capabilities, while European countries are developing weapons and increasing limited stocks of Storm Shadow, Scalp and Taurus missiles. At least 48 lower-cost cruise-missile projects have been publicised across Europe, though some may not proceed and those that do could take years to deliver.
