Can't Russia use low intensity nuclear weapons and completely destroy the Ukrainian army?
Actually.... in terms of damage a volley from a Smerch battery would kill over a wider area than a small tactical nuke would with no issues with radiation or international media attention.
As long as HATO does not send in their troops there is nothing in the Ukraine or the Ukraine conflict that would require a nuclear weapon.
Having said that if Poland said it was sending forces into the Ukraine to help Kiev then that becomes a HATO invasion that will be fighting Russian troops in Ukraine because Kievs definition of Ukrainian territory does not equate with reality. The UK will dip its toes in Crimean water and claim Crimea is part of the Ukraine, but we don't see any ground forces or even air power trying to do the same...
Polish forces massing up and moving over the border into the Ukraine would be a suitable target for nukes because it would be out of range of Smerch and the other weapons that could reach wouldn't offer the density of fragments and HE blast waves to do a thorough job and a decent sized force of HATO soldiers would be a target worth completely wiping out before it reaches the front line or disperses and becomes more of a chore to deal with.
Equally a force forming up to attack Kaliningrad it would not make sense to wait until it actually attacks, but forces forming up to attack would likely coincide with attempts to deal with Russian systems like Iskander in the enclave so the instant one was attacked (successfully or otherwise) would justify air power being launched and air defences to start shooting down enemy air platforms in nearby airspace, and of course several Iskanders lofting nukes into any HATO troop groupings near their border to blunt that attack.
That is why I consider Putin a weak leader in this context. A moderate conservative is only good for diplomacy but not for total war like this.
It is not total war though... if Russia can break what is left of Kievs military it could come out of this conflict smelling of roses... its economy intact, ties with the west broken but that is also a good thing, more importantly ties with the rest of the world established and starting to strengthen to develop mutual growth and development.
And HATO looking worse than it did running away from Afghanistan.
Nothing guarantees that Trump will win in 2024 and will not suffer some attack from the deep state.
Biden has no chance of re election... even democrats don't think he would last another term, and it is the Biden clan that are pushing this conflict... I suspect most other of the usual idiots will walk away and tie it off as a Biden fuckup when they get into power... there are no good things for the US in this conflict except getting lots of military sales but that does not help the US, just the few families that own those MIC companies.
Russia only has the most radical military option left.
Going feral is really the only way Russia could screw this up...
It has been working so far... why not let them finish what they are doing...
As far as simulations are concerned, tactical nuclear weapon cannot delete 1 armoured brigade provided they aren't parked next to eachother in a flat terrain.
Exactly... 2,000 tons of TNT in one spot (2KT) is not as effective at killing as 20 tons of ordinance in 2.5 kg submunitions scattered around a large area and detonated...
Anyways, what I think is as each days passes we are coming closer and closer to that day where someone will see this magic mushroom. I personally would expect a low amount of nukes getting exchanged in Europe and maybe in non European theaters to "safe face".
I think Putin just needs to be open and very clear... if they use nukes on a concentration of HATO troops in Poland either about to enter Ukraine or Kaliningrad then there needs to be a direct clear warning that if they go ahead that nukes will be used, and these nukes are to stop a threat to Russia. Any use of nukes by any other country against Russia or any of her allies in response will result in a full nuclear strike to take out the country launching those nukes... nuclear weapons use is not something you can play escalation games with... you didn't listen to us so we used a nuke. When we used that nuke we said nuke us in return and you are starting WWIII and the entire west will be destroyed and we are not talking just military targets.
If they get the message you might not even have to launch the first nuke... they might back down and start talking, but if you use that first nuke you have to be prepared to destroy any attempt to deliver nukes to Russian targets or their allies and respond to that response by destroying those who attempted to deliver that blow to make it clear what will happen.
If the west does not want to listen to Russia there are consequences and ignoring clear red lines... even making a game of it like they are now is not in Russian interests.
Obviously WWIII isn't in their interests either, but the west needs to realise Russian nukes will **** them up and fucking Russia up in return wont be nearly as satisfying to most people in the west than most western politicians seem to think.
Hey REGULAR, just to remind you that you are a piece of shit...
Just so you don't forget...
Not acceptable.
Take a five day break from this forum. I call bullshit on this…
Moscow Times... is owned by some cocksucker in the Baltics...
Not retard at all. A basic 100$ military grade GPS/Glonass chip with basic software update can make the 48N6 a very good ballistic missile.
Totally retarded... these targets they are supposed to be hitting are not the sort of things Russia would want to be hitting with any sort of good ballistic missile.
S-300s are surface to air missiles.... 48N6 is S-400 and is also a surface to air missile but if they were using them to hit ground targets they would be hitting ground targets of military value... not targets that are unprotected like the Orcs are with their western uber missiles of Storm Shadow and HIMARS etc etc etc where the targets are civilian because they get shot down when fired at military targets.
Russian ballistic and non ballistic missiles are not getting shot down so why start using SAMs?
Pretty clear the claims of the use of S-300s against ground targets are Orc S-300s not hitting their targets and just generally hitting the ground in random places.
BTW if they were such amazing ballistic missiles considering how ineffective they are against air targets why aren't they firing them at Russian military ground targets...
Something like 70 000 s-125 ir s-200 missiles being produced. S-300 missiles have been produced in huge quantities as well. It's a huge stock.
More practical to use them against air targets of which there are plenty.
These missiles are also used to train air defence units pretending to be ballistic threats.
It's not dumb to upgrade them with ground attack mode.
It is not dumb, but they also have enormous numbers of many other types of ground attack weapons that were also obsolete and made in enormous numbers that can be used now their air defence has been weakened and of course they are making drones in large numbers now too.

Yesterday a local Ukrainian volunteer in Kramatorsk gave up the location of American and Canadian mercenaries with a post on Instagram, apparently it was easy to geo locate and not long after the Russian army struck with missiles the dinning place
