"They have electronic weaponry that is dwarfing America’s. That's why these offensive weapons have all failed in Ukraine because the Russians have stunned the world because of the sophistication and capacity of their electronic warfare. It really puts us to shame," Kennedy said in an interview on the sidelines of a Bitcoin conference in Austin, Texas, on Thursday.
RFK Jr. stated that a couple of years ago, the US Defense Department conducted modeling exercises which determined that Russia's defensive weapons were more effective than those of the United States.
"Their defense systems are better than ours," Kennedy admitted.
The Defense Department also conducted a study about what would happen in a direct nuclear exchange with Russia and concluded that 90 million Americans would die within the first 20 minutes, he said.
The politician also noted that the 35th US president, his uncle, John F. Kennedy, had set up a direct communications line with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev.
On Wednesday, the Kennedy campaign announced that it had filed a complaint with the US Federal Election Commission (FEC) alleging that President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump, and the corporate media outlet CNN had violated US election laws..
The Kennedy team claims CNN unlawfully colluded with the Biden and Trump teams to schedule a debate that would only include them.
