Security experts believe Russia has adopted a secret policy for the possible use of first-strike nuclear weapons to deter “conventional aggression,” according to a report from Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has signed into law a new Russian military doctrine, and while publicizing it, Deputy Chief of the General Staff Colonel-General Anatoly Nogovitsyn has made it known that the new doctrine has two parts.

Security experts believe the second part directly addresses the prospect of a nuclear “defense” against “conventional aggression” in large-scale and regional conflicts.

Nogovitsyn confirmed the public portion pertains more to military-political issues while the secret portion “will specifically depict the plans of usage of armed forces including nuclear weapons as an instrument of strategic deterrence.”
