Almost impossible for a nuke to go off like that but who knows. I would be ok with the Russians nuking themselves but they would probably respond negatively.

Yeah, I would have thought a cruise missile was the more likely candidate.  Unless there was ammo stored out in the open and a drone hit it.  Which is possible with Russia, it is more likely a cruise missile went into a bunker which the warhead of most is capable of doing.

In that case it will not go Nuclear, it would be a dirty bomb.  To actually create a nuclear explosion a complicated series of electronic events need to take place within the device.

Wow! Who knew that losing 30% of your fleet, 50% of armor (mostly the newer stuff) and probably 70-80% of your core professional cadre and replacing them with 60 yo conscripts with 3 weeks of training makes you stronger.

I'm trying to think of what metric is being used for this assessment.

Just another idiot waiting for a Cush retirement job at some think-tank. Hopefully he will propose that the US buys the S300 system to protect DC.

I hear the same assessments from mil. experts on Hungarian language blogs. And they always quote Russian sources (propaganda). So I would say that the metric used for this assessment is the Russians themselves.

"yeah you kicked our asses and humiliated us but now we are better and were waiting to unleash out secret weapon: The mighty T62 and turret less T55 APC"

Nice scenery.



This explains why a drone could have been the culprit.  



in the Voronezh region, so it would not be surprising if Russians continued to store ammunition in the open air in depots about 500 km from the front.

Perhaps such careless handling of ammunition was the reason for such severe detonation as a result of the strikes.

This could also be the turbojet powered drones Ukraine has unveiled too.


and SBU may have deployed their #Palyanitsa "cruise missile" in the strike.

He might.  If he does it will be a tremendous mistake and a sad day for UKR.  

OTOH, not voting or a vote for Harris (and her puppetmaster Obama) leads directly to a communist end point for the US and that is unacceptable.

Russia says pager attack 'an act of hybrid war' against Lebanon
4 hours ago
05:20 EDT

Andrew Osborn
Russia's Foreign Ministry said the attack on Hezbollah and others using exploding pagers was an act of hybrid war against Lebanon in which thousands of innocent people had been hurt.

Israel's military has declined to comment on the blast.

Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, said in a statement:

"We regard what happened as yet another act of hybrid warfare against Lebanon, which has harmed thousands of innocent people."

If Isreal said the pagers were detonated early, they weren't detonated early.  Everything they say and do is intentional and strategic.   Very possible there will still be an October Surprise.

And you’ll have posters here who will read this from Russia….then still separate Hezbollah support from Russia and make excuses against them being the clear bad guy.

There are some satellite photos showing that the Russians weren't bothering to store the ammunition in the enclosed bunkers, but rather just stacking boxes out in the open on the cleared aprons around the bunkers.

Also after the fire goes out no way to definitively know what hit it.  Investigation digging through charred ordinance?  They may produce pictures but it won't be of the real culprit.
