Roscosmos chief Dmitry Rogozin claimed NATO countries could be quickly destroyed in a nuclear war.
The space agency leader said Russia could destroy the countries in "half an hour."
The head of Russian space agency Roscomos has claimed his country could quickly destroy NATO countries if a nuclear war was to take place.

Dmitry Rogozin, who has made many...provocative comments in recent months, shared the message in Russian on his Telegram channel on Sunday.

Rogozin claimed that the destruction could happen in 30 minutes, "but we must not allow it, since the consequences of an exchange of nuclear strikes will affect the state of our Earth," he added.

Rogozin also wrote in his Telegram post: "NATO is waging war against us. It has not declared it, but it doesn't change anything. Now it's obvious to everyone."..

In February, Russian president Vladimir Putin put Russia's nuclear deterrent forces on high alert amid the sweeping sanctions the US and EU have taken against it.

Rogozin has previously said Roscosmos would leave the International Space Station and that the decision had already been affirmed. He also criticized the litany of Western economic sanctions imposed on Russia.

"I believe that the restoration of normal relations between partners in the International Space Station and other joint projects is possible only with the complete and unconditional lifting of illegal sanctions," he tweeted in April...

Rogozin added in his Telegram message that the war, which Putin called a "special military operation," had gone "far beyond its original meaning and geography," and called it "a war for the truth and the right of Russia to exist as a single and independent state.".. (excerpts)
