Quoted: so you don't think multiple war heads spread just enough apart, wouldn't kill off most of Englands population? Because, that is how nukes work - or at least can. A single 100 megaton bomb doesn't do 10 times the damage of a 10 megaton bomb. However 10 x 10 megaton bombs spread out just enough does more damage than 10 megaton bombs dispersed further apart. View Quote I just had a whole conversation with my 6th grader son in the car yesterday, about optimal yield ranges, when he brought up the Czar Bomba. And the problems with delivering such a bomb. |

Quoted: Difference being you can run and hide from a tornado. Tornado shelters can save you and then you rebuild. There’s nowhere to run and hide from ICBMs. Only thing we can do if even one of those is launched is pray that it doesn’t hit us. There’s no rebuilding the world from that. The nuclear fall out from even one going off in Europe would disrupt global food and energy supplies. View Quote That’s quite an over dramatization. One nuke going off isn’t shit. The only thing to worry about is what comes after one nuke being launched. Does everyone fire off their entire arsenal? Time to start praying. |

Quoted: Yeah. And we should remember that Russia's nukes do in fact actually work. And that the largest nuke ever detonated was a scaled back version of one of Russia's nukes. Even the most pathetic animal in the world will eventually bite back if you back it far enough in to a corner. Acting like Russia isn't a real threat is the recipe to losing WW3. Especially given the fact that most of the US populace and our leaders don't have a stomach to prevent or fight WW3. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Yawn. I grew up in the 80s, I’m completely numb to “OMG the Russians are going to nuke us!!1!” at this point. I grew up in a town with tornado warnings and watches being a daily occurrence in the spring. We ignored them. Then one day a tornado ripped thru and killed a lot of people. Point being, past doesn’t predict future. Yeah. And we should remember that Russia's nukes do in fact actually work.

Quoted: Well, that’s fine. I’d argue our land and air part of the triad are extremely vulnerable now that missile technology has advanced accuracy so much. They don’t have 1nm CEPs anymore. I’d move to a mobile system with lots of MIRVs. If we are going to keep that leg of the triad it needs modernized. View Quote All we need to do is take out moscow and st petersburg, and russia is toast. Take out two cities here, and we could continue on. We don't even need icbm's to do it. They can't stop the drones Ukraine is sending, how could they begin to stop a few F35 missions? |

Quoted: Putin has placed the world's most powerful Armageddon nuclear rocket dubbed Satan-2 on combat duty in a haunting new threat to the West. The Armageddon weapon is 116 feet in length and can be loaded with 15 light nuclear warheads at once. "It is capable of destroying an area the size of Texas or England. A single launch, Boris, and there is no England anymore. Once and for all." Despite the threats, the first and only known full-scale test of Satan-2 was announced to great fanfare as soon as it took place on 20 April 2022, with Putin in touch by video-link. The following month, close Putin ally Dmitry Rogozin said almost 50 Satan-2 missiles would soon be on combat duty. https://www.the-sun.com/news/8981467/putin-nuke-uk-one-strike-combat-duty-deadly-satan/ View Quote Whoever wrote that is a retard and clearly doesn’t LAUGH IN AMERICAN |

Quoted: All good questions, I would argue if we have them and the Russians change readiness posture, we should do the same. If they have weapons on the ready, we should too. Relying on manned bombers in this high tech world is foolish, Same with relying on cruise missiles getting in unobserved, although I still have some faith in that, the limfac with subs is the comm. Can that be denied? My guess is yes. We should not leave any part of the force non-responsive if Russia has increased their readiness we should not just match that but exceed it. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: With real time satellite imagery, and instant targeting updates, I don’t see what difference that makes. Even if they could change location fast enough to survive, which I doubt, if Russian launches are detected, many years ago it was about confirmation of enemy launches that was the limfac I can tell you, launch confirmation is instantaneous and target confirmation shortly there after. We see launches, we launch. The weapons will survive because they will be airborne. They don’t have to move location waiting on attack confirmation, just on the launch authorization, which granted may not be in time. But do we launch within the 30 minute window that those silos have to live? We are not on hair trigger alert anymore. I’ve worked at one the the CoNUS “CONS” and I do not believe our response would be given within that window. That would leave a handful of alert bombers that got airborne and our SSBNs. Is that enough? Probably. But then, why have the land part of the triad? All good questions, I would argue if we have them and the Russians change readiness posture, we should do the same. If they have weapons on the ready, we should too.

Can that be denied? My guess is yes. We should not leave any part of the force non-responsive if Russia has increased their readiness we should not just match that but exceed it. Putin made a theatrical TV presentation of ordering the commander of his Strategic Rocket Forces to a higher state of readiness when the Ukraine war kicked off. Shortly thereafter I had a USAF officer from one of our Minutemen III ICBM bases in my office, and I asked him if he’d seen any changes in our posture since Putin’s orders. “No, we’re ALWAYS at a high state of readiness”. Not that I will EVER underestimate our adversaries because that’s the kind of stupidity you see here in GD, but my interpretation of Putin’s orders were more of a “do your job as the commanding general”, meaning “crack the whip” on subordinates to ensure they’re doing the job they get paid to do. Maybe I’m out to lunch but he has to know we will end him, his family and Russia hard if he initiates an exchange. He knows our systems work, and he’s had some disappointing failures. |

Quoted: I don't think most in the Uke threads understand just how paranoid (with good reason, millions and millions dead going back to the Mongols) Russia is. If Russia is being driven back to the Russian border and NATO/US in involved (which they would have to be for that to happen) things are going to get sporty. View Quote L O L Most in the main Uke thread DO understand how paranoid & narcissistic the Russians are…much more than you posit. At the current rate of progress the Ukrainians don’t need NATO nor US direct involvement, just continued material & ammunition support. Why do posters like you constantly squawk about the number of Russian warheads but conveniently overlook the methods of delivery? Not every Russian warhead is pointed at the US either… What about interception systems, countermeasures, and so on? How many Russian technical troops are even left after being gutted as infantry meat cubes for Ukraine? All the US needs to do is assure the Russians that MOSCOW & St Petersburg are primary retaliatory targets and Russia will cease to exist in the event of a nuclear exchange. Putin loves to rattle sabers but isn’t that stupid; as others have pointed out, he wants to assure his offspring & family members a survivable future & any involvement of nuclear weapons negates that entirely. |
