British experts on December 30 told the Daily Mail what the scenario of a third world war could be.
In their opinion, states will use IT technologies. It is noted that, for example, the United Kingdom has reduced funding for traditional weapons and focused on the development of artificial intelligence and cyber security.
Experts also believe that in a hypothetical world war, Russia, the United States and China use hypersonic missiles, which are difficult to quickly detect and knock out due to their high speed.
In addition, the Internet will become one of the instruments of influence, or rather, its absence. According to the interlocutors of the publication, the opposing states will try to deprive each other of communications by “hunting” for space satellites.
On December 25, the former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Yevgeny Muraev, expressed the opinion that Russia and the United States would not allow the outbreak of a third world war, because it would lead to the destruction of humanity. According to the politician, nuclear weapons are a deterrent.
On October 21, Russian leader Vladimir Putin assessed the likelihood of a world war. According to him, there is a threat of complete mutual destruction, which should not be forgotten. The President added that the responsibility for nuclear weapons lies with the nuclear powers.
On October 20, the British newspaper Daily Express published a list of six countries in which the third world war is likely to start. On October 10, 19Fortyfive columnist Robert Farley said that the conflict between the United States and China could lead to the third and fourth world wars.
He added that China and the United States could start fighting over Taiwan. At the same time, he concluded that any armed conflict in the Western Pacific would be a disaster and lead to the destruction of the infrastructure that has developed between Asia and North America.
On October 8, the director of the Institute of Contemporary State Development, political scientist Dmitry Solonnikov, stressed that the danger of a third world war does exist, but it could occur far from China. According to him, Iran is currently in a difficult situation.
