The new doctrine allows Russia to provide a nuclear response if a country launches a ballistic missile attack on Russian territory with the support of another nuclear-armed state, while attacks carried out by drones or warplanes have also been included in this scope.
Aggression against Russia by "a member of an alliance" is also defined as a development that could trigger a nuclear response, and all members of the alliance to which the country in question belongs will also be considered parties to the potential aggression.
