After NATO's brazen Terrorist attack on Russia's Pskov airport, Russia has no other option but to increase its nuclear warhead stockpile to double the size of the USSR's peak stockpile. 100,000 nukes and the ability to Obliterate all of the West 10x+ over is the only way to safeguard Russia's security for the next 1000 years.

is keeping them at START levels but the US will likely soon start producing more and then the gloves will come off.
I am also in favour of nuclear testing. No amount of computer simulation can replace real lab testing and development. More powerful
hydrogen bombs are needed. Tsar Bomba yield devices but in a much smaller package.

Their new breeder reactors are a great idea for creating power, but they are also useful for creating highly enriched weapons grade uranium quickly too...
As they introduce more and more breeder reactors their ability to enrich Uranium to weapons grade levels will expand and improve.

As per available sources, Russia's current nuke stockpile is at around 5k+ pieces. Today, with an enlarged and retardized NATzO leadership, Russia NEEDS to increase this stockpile back and further beyond the Soviet peak of 45k+ pieces. I don't think 5k+ nukes is enough to turn NATzO territory and their new vassals like the Baltic and Finnish DOGS into smoldering radioactive wastelands. Also, having 100k+ nukes will give the NATzO leadership unlimited sleepless nights. Russia needs to double down on this development ASAP!

No Russia will continue to increase its stockpiles to 200k+ warheads in response to NATzO's latest Retardation and Provocation. I know you are afraid of nuclear annihilation but this is the reality that every NATzO citizen deserves. There is no turning back, Complete NATzO Extermination for over 100x is the only answer to secure Russia's security for another 10 thousand years.

No they won't. They will have to deploy Sarmat for example. It is also highly likely at this rate that the Rubezh will enter serial production quite soon. Since Yars deployment is pretty much complete. And the US insists on putting the Dark Eagle into service.Arrow wrote:Forget about it. Russia will further reduce its stockpile of nuclear weapons.

You can pretty much bet that once Dark Eagle is put into service the Rubezh will be serial produced.

The Sarmat will replace the R 36M2, which carried approximately 460 warheads. Sarmat is needed to maintain the current state of strategic warheads after the withdrawal of the R 36M2. It will not increase the stock of strategic weapons, which is limited by the treaty. Why Rubiezh? This project has been canceled.

Rubezh wasn't cancelled. It was suspended. Production of the solid rocket facilities was focused on Yars, Yars-S, and Bulava instead. The funds that would have used to produce Rubezh were spent on speeding up Avangard. Russia said they wouldn't deploy intermediate range nukes unless the US did it first. Once the American Dark Eagle becomes operational in either Europe or Japan, Russia will just put the Rubezh back into production and into service.Arrow wrote:The Sarmat will replace the R 36M2, which carried approximately 460 warheads.

The US withdrew from the INF Treaty. So there are no limitations in intermediate range nukes.
We just don't know how many Sarmat will be deployed. And Russia suspended its participation in the New START Treaty after the US blocked Russian inspections to ensure that the US is meeting its treaty obligations. You can basically consider all the arms limitations treaties to be moribund at this point.

Suspended not cancelled. Last I read was they were sticking to the limitation numbers but withdraw from the reporting and verification procedures.

But that's where you're wrong. See the enormous fissile material stockpile to murder the world 10 times over and the capabilities to assemble more warheads was not lost with the dissolution of the USSR. They lie dormant, but if the Russian state chooses, they can easily bring back a nuclear arsenal to rival the USSR at its peak.PhSt wrote:At the moment, NATzO has 31 members, with only 5k warheads, it means each NATzO member only gets to have 161.2 nukes, this is TOTALLY unacceptable as 161 nukes are not enough to exterminate entire populations, especially in larger NATzO member countries. 300k+ nukes would be a safe and adequate number for Russia's nuclear deterrent.

The bottlenecks would be silo construction and missile production.they can easily bring back a nuclear arsenal to rival the USSR at its peak.
Could take 10 years.

Not really no. The Kalibrs they are cranking out like sausages can easily be armed with nuclear warheads.Hole wrote:

Some with big warheads.
Some with hypersonic gliders.
Some with really big warheads.

The elimination of the INF treaty means tactical nukes can be missile delivered which makes them vastly more potent because nuclear warheads are lighter than HE warheads for theatre missiles which improves missile performance.
The problem with making lots of ICBMs and SLBMs is that when a sensible guy gets into office in the US and they start horse trading, having tens of thousands of nukes is the first thing they are going to be giving up... which is very much a waste.
In comparison their doomsday weapons like thunderbird and poseidon will all be armed with nukes and hopefully they return nuclear weapons to their naval inventory of weapons to really boost their performance to deal with threats.
You say a Russian Frigate on its own is vulnerable to enemy drones... well try a 130mm shell fired in the direction the drones are coming from with a 2Kt nuke warhead, to be followed up by a Zircon missile directed at the capital of the country who sent the drones... with a 200Kt warhead.
But the problem then is that the world will look at that as the arrival of a new nut case country to the world stage... as crazy and as big a bully as the US was.
With the expansion of HATO to Russian borders the need for tactical nukes has massively increased and I would agree that they need to not only expand their tactical nuclear weapon arsenal, but to also increase their capacity to deliver it to targets out to extended ranges with missiles of all types.
The value of that is that you can fit nuke warheads when you need them, but equally you can fit conventional warheads and use them against conventional targets in conventional wars too... hang on to the warheads and just make new missiles for them when this conflict is sorted.
Going back to nuclear testing would be a nice shock to the arrogant west.... especially if they do the same and find out a lot of their weapons no longer work as advertised....
There are HE powered EMP weapons they are working on and I suspect there will be exotic uses for nuclear warheads they might be interested in testing too...
A missile to destroy all your technology in a flash would be interesting... many people in the west would not know what to do...

It seems you are eating something really spicy these days.
The 5000 nuclear warheads Russia has are enough to annihilate the entire planet at least twice.
And if ever Russia uses all of them, the resulting nuclear winter will make sure anything breathing oxygen inside the Russian boundries does not survive as well.

theory think that fires in cities will pump absurd amounts of aerosol into the atmosphere that will also stay there for years. They are full of shit.
1) No surface fire can load the stratosphere with aerosol. The vast majority of the aerosol particulate is removed in the boundary layer (less than
2 km of depth of the atmosphere adjacent to the surface). The rest is scavenged by clouds and precipitation (two distinct processes one involving
cloud seeding and the other involving interception by rain drops).
2) Nuclear bomb mushroom plumes inject very little material into the upper troposphere. The fires are all secondary and the mushroom cloud is not
a scoop that sends tens of millions of tons of fine particulate into the stratosphere. The material that is injected into the middle and upper troposphere
is scavenged out before it gets into the stratosphere in the tropics.
3) All the nuked cities are located in middle and high latitudes so any aerosol needs to be transported far and slowly to the tropics before it can enter
into the stratosphere through the "cold trap" at about 18 km spanning the latitudinal range of 15S to 15N. Forest fires that may result form nuke attacks
are not going to change the picture. They will not burn for years and their smoke will be removed in a matter of weeks from the troposphere. It will
not sit around for six months to reach the tropics and survive the tropical deep convection removal. The "dirty" tropospheric air that enters the stratosphere
is scoured clean.
4) The dinosaur killing event 65 million years ago involved a crust vapourization blast that directly injected material into the stratosphere even above 30 km
from the surface. In particular it injected a lot of SO2 which is something no nuke blast can do. The SO2 is what produced sulfate aerosol in the stratosphere
which reflected a substantial fraction of sunlight. Volcanoes such as Pinatubo produce similar effects (but smaller) and we saw a two year cold anomaly
after Pinatubo. We do not see such effects with low altitude volcanic eruptions where the plumes do not reach the stratosphere and in particular around
30 km. Even the lower stratosphere flushes out too fast to produce a robust sulfate layer.
5) Fine aerosol that can resist gravitational settling (at most a few hundred nanometers in diameter) is not primarily produced by blasts and fires. It is produced
by secondary formation such as sulfate from SO2 (via H2SO4).
If building more nukes and missiles can dampen demented NATzO ambitions, then Russia should go for it. The sick f*ck NATzO deciders need some fear to guide
their actions. Clearly they lack the mental capacity to apply rationality.

It will be interesting to see how the west deals with the crazies that have been in charge these last 30 years and have done so much to damage their privileged position created by centuries of colonialism and essentially state sanctioned piracy.
As they diminish I suspect they will become more insidious and are not going to go away quietly because obviously the rest of the world needs them to run things and keep them in poverty...
Nuclear winter is BS. It is not anything like a 10 km diameter meteor impact. For some strange reason the people pushing the nuclear winter
theory think that fires in cities will pump absurd amounts of aerosol into the atmosphere that will also stay there for years. They are full of shit.
Have to agree... even 10,000 nuclear weapons that touch the ground and whip up enormous amounts of soil and material and fling it up into the atmosphere wont put up a fraction of the material your average volcanic eruption puts up... and often the sky at dusk is a funny colour for a few months and the average temperature goes down a tiny smidgen.
I think someone came up with the idea as a worst case scenario and everyone assumed every nuclear explosion created a nuclear winter.
Modern nukes are fusion and create vastly less radiation than the WWII bombs which were fusion bombs.
To be killed by the radiation from a fusion bomb you would need to be well inside the fireball which is going to incinerate you anyway... so very few will die from radiation.
If building more nukes and missiles can dampen demented NATzO ambitions, then Russia should go for it. The sick f*ck NATzO deciders need some fear to guide
their actions. Clearly they lack the mental capacity to apply rationality.
The advent of breeder reactors means they can produce plenty of fission triggers for nukes and work with Poseidon could include work to pack more and more fusion material around the fission trigger to make as big a bomb as they can... in a torpedo powered by a nuclear reactor weight and volume should not be a problem... just make it longer...
Imagine a nuclear shaped charge that tries to blow a deep hole into the earths crust... wonder what that might do to a fault line...
Lots of experimenting they could do, and of course more exotic types of bombs like neutron bombs etc etc.

Any attempt by NATzO to park weapons in orbit must be met with maximum response. That means blowing them out of orbit as soon as they are launched.
Uncle Swineshit is not prepared for a nuke war in response to such moves. That is why he is trying to pull cheats in order to win. Russia needs to destroy
those cheats before they are pulled.
Replying by symmetric deployment is not a good idea since it moves Uncle Swineshit's agenda along. If Russia deploys weapons in orbit, then it is just more MAD
and cunning plans will be launched to try to sabotage such platforms. The best option is not to have them there. NATzO does not have any right to launch
such weapons platforms. They should be considered the same as launching an ICBM. The only difference is the delayed drop to the surface. Russia cannot
let NATzO carry the day with BS logic and propaganda. Slap back and hard. Let them squeal with indignation and squirm like the maggots they are.
