Title: Putin orders tactical nuclear weapons drills
Post by: obsidian on May 06, 2024, 03:25:35 AM
Getting closer and closer...

Apparently Ukraine might fall in 2 weeks or so. The Western Deep State is desperate to prevent that. They are as delusional as they are clueless when it comes to balancing budgets. Russia's not fucking around. Russia should test their 100 Megaton model in the English Channel to wake the idiots up. Oh wait, it will be too late...

Putin orders tactical nuclear weapons drills

An exercise to check the military’s ability to use smaller-range systems was announced by the Defense Ministry on Monday

Russia will test its ability to deploy tactical nuclear weapons, the Defense Ministry announced on Monday. The drill will be conducted “in the near future” and was ordered by President Vladimir Putin, the statement said.

Missile forces of the Southern Military District will be directly involved in the exercise. It will also require the participation of military aircraft and the Russian Navy, the ministry said.

The goal of the exercise is to iron out “the practical aspects of the preparation and deployment of non-strategic nuclear weapons,” it added.

The military cited “provocative statements and threats against Russia by certain Western officials” as the reason for the drill. The troops will confirm that they can “ensure unconditional territorial integrity and sovereignty” of the nation, it added.

Moscow has a wide range of nuclear-capable weapons, from long-range intercontinental ballistic missiles to smaller-range tactical nukes. Amid the Ukraine conflict, senior Russian officials, including Putin, have stated that the country’s nuclear doctrine allows the use of these weapons when the existence of the nation is at stake.

The US and its allies have accused Moscow of nuclear saber-rattling. Putin said in March that at no point in the conflict has the situation required such a radical move as a nuclear strike.

Democrat leader warns US troops could enter Ukraine conflict

A military defeat for Kiev might compel Washington to send service members to the country, Congressman Hakeem Jeffries has said

The US may have to deploy troops to Ukraine if Kiev suffers a complete collapse against Russia, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has said.

In an interview with CBS News released on Sunday, the senior Democratic lawmaker stressed the urgency of sending military aid to Ukraine, claiming that if those efforts failed, the US would potentially have to intervene directly in the conflict.

“We can’t let Ukraine fall because if it does, then there’s a significant likelihood that America will have to get into the conflict – not simply with our money, but with our servicewomen and our servicemen,” Jeffries said.

This stance, however, contradicts the long-standing policy of US President Joe Biden, who reiterated last month that he was “determined” not to send American troops to Ukraine. He noted that Kiev had so far not requested direct military intervention from Washington, expressing the belief that it could win the conflict with Russia if the US “stand with Ukraine and provide the weapons it needs to defend itself.”

Meanwhile, Jeffries claimed that US efforts to support Ukraine, including pushing a new $61 billion assistance package through Congress, had been stymied by what he called a “pro-Putin faction” within the Republican Party.

He singled out Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has called for funds to be used for domestic needs, rather than sent to Ukraine. Greene has insisted she “does not have any sympathy for… Russia” and that she is “only loyal to a single country: the United States of America.”

Jeffries’ comments about possible US intervention come after French President Emmanuel Macron refused to rule out sending Western troops to Ukraine. Last week, he suggested that Western nations “would legitimately have to ask [them]selves” whether they should deploy their militaries to the embattled country “if the Russians were to break through the front lines, [and] if there were a Ukrainian request.” Macron has further insisted that rhetoric of “strategic ambiguity” could project strength and deter Russia.

In response, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov suggested on Sunday that the French leader was “breathing caveman Russophobia” in the hope of using this sentiment to become the de-facto leader of the EU.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned in late February that the deployment of NATO troops to Ukraine would make a direct conflict between Russia and the US-led military bloc “inevitable.”

In the meantime, the Russian military has reported steady progress on the battlefield, capturing several settlements in Donbass in recent weeks.

He will be surrounded by pro-Ukrainians. What can he do, he couldn't do mist of the stuff he promised last time. But who knows...

Imagine if humans go extinct by their own hand... it's just almost impossible to fathom, what a waste. Everything possible should be done to deescalate this situation by whatever means necessary, and I don't mean preemptive strikes on Russia. Because there's no scenario where Russia isn't able to respond in kind, everything will go black...

What in the fuck is the US doing by sending these funds to Ukraine, there are already tons of unannounced US troops ("advicers" or "technical personnel") on the ground there, and from many other countries, Russian can legitimately now claim it's between them and the US  What a mess...

Hopefully this all a bad dream, or that Russia and the US and China are all working together in the dark  ;D

You already know this, I'm sure. It is because we have a corrupt military industrial complex. Our government sends tax dollars to Ukraine, who buys our arms, and the military kicks it back to the politicians on the back end. I think the whole thing is crooked. They hide their kickbacks in different ways. The media should have focused more on how much Hunter Biden really got paid from Burisma and whoever else in Ukraine. And I'll point out again that I don't think Putin is a "good guy" and I don't think Ukrainians deserved to be invaded, since it ruffles feathers when I discuss the corruption.

Yeah - if nothing else, the at times adversarial nature of GetBig has meant that I have often been able to read posts that help me understand both sides of 'a thing'.  Applying my own armchair logic (aka common sense deduction) here, it seems obvious that since the MIC was geared up for WW3 during the Cold War, then when the Berlin Wall crumbled they urgently needed to find other 'enemies' to keep the money flowing.  Whether they create or exaggerate threats is for cleverer people than me to say, but I can't see that China or Russia want to take over the world, as the hysterical media sometimes like to portray...

Total tangent - this kind of parallels the LGBTQIA+ situation - once they'd basically achieved gay rights, they needed another cause to fight for - enter the whole trans thing to our confusion

I think it's about money but also that the US can maintain hegemony over the world, which basically is about money in the end too right? So the US is scrambling, fighting both Russia and China for hegemony.

Haha! :)

From what I recall, the original King Bomb device could have a yield of about 100 MT, but the Ruskies opted for the smaller, 50ish megaton version.

I reckon you're just teasin' about the 100 megaton bomb anyway, though, right, Obsidian?  I'm not sure the Russians even have a bomber that could even accommodate such a thing ;)  But even if we're just talking sci-fi here, a weapon of that scale would, for many, many reasons, be worthless in any strategic sense.

The original design was 100 megatons. They scaled it back to 50 megatons. But when the Tsar Bombas test concluded the yield was actually 58 megatons. So it is possible the 100 megaton design would have been above that number if it was actually detonated.

If Ukraine, with the help of the USA / Britain / France / NATO, succeed in destroying the Crimean bridge, perhaps the Chunnel will be a legitimate target by Russia.

I blame the US / Deep State for the disaster in Ukraine. Over 600,000 men died because the military industrial complex wants to weaken Russia, topple the Russian government, and steal its resources as they did in Iraq / Libya.

Ukrainian men are cannon fodder Goy / Gentiles and the Deep State don't give a fuck about these casualties at all. Ukrainians should start sabotaging their infrastructure and openly invite Russia in to help save them from the Deep State Zionist Monster that will genocide their Gentile population.

Sending a nuke towards the UK because Putins baby the Kirch bridge is blown again aww poor big baby with his nuclear tantrums. I hope your including Russian soldiers in your casuality figure, men flung in to battle like fodder meat to gain a few little settlements here and there.

He will use tactical nukes just battlefield type and hope that that escalation sends a message, but like others I have no doubt that where he feels he has too he will escalate further, hopefully the west wakes up. Let him have the Donbas or Eastern Ukraine, they're all Russians anyway, in exchange for Ukraine to remain neutral non NATO in the future.  Too many people have died already he won't lie down, he said Ukraine was the red line with NATO expansion and he meant it,

The USA invaded Ukraine in 2014 when they fomented a coup against the democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych. See parts of Ukraine used to be included in Khazaria. The 2014 Ukrainian Coup was another Zionist intervention. Victoria Nulan was giving out cookies to the protesters for crying out loud.

It's too bad the Ukrainian gentiles again were genocided by the Zionists, as they were during the Holodomor.

Make no mistake, the Deep State wanted to dismantle Russia as they did Iraq and Libya. This Deep State Cabal has been active for centuries. Any peace agreement that might materialize in the next few years will be broken again at some point. Russia really has no choice but to destroy the Deep State. Trump does not have the means to do it. The US military won't do it because war is their "Bread and Butter". But perhaps they might once the dollar collapses and the Deep State loses their leverage and bargaining chips. Either way, this Cabal needs to pay for their crimes. Their entire blood line needs to be wiped out. Zero mercy! No deals can be made with them, ever. The only solution is to exterminate them.

Ron you quote everything CNN but you can't find this type of stuff NBC from well before the coup {2009} and the annexation of Crimea

Washington supports Ukraine's bid to join NATO and the former Soviet republic is free to choose its own foreign policy alliances regardless of what other nations want, U.S. Vice President Joe Biden told Ukraine's president on Tuesday.

Both assertions were a shot at Russia, which vehemently opposes having its neighbors join the Western military alliance and is uncomfortable with their desire for greater economic and political integration with West.

Biden met with President Viktor Yushchenko in Kiev, then said in a speech later that if Ukraine chooses to join NATO, "which I believe you have, we strongly support that."

Polls have shown a majority of Ukrainians to be against NATO membership.

Ukrainian officials, meanwhile, were looking for signals that Washington's effort to improve ties with Moscow would not hurt its Western integration, and also for support as Russia tries to reassert some control over its former Soviet satellite states.

The majority of Ukrainians wanted a new government in 2014, it was not a coup, western backed sure but its still what the people wanted. Russia has long been a big bully to Ukraine. Ukraine wants freedom and sovereignty. "The West" the evil west might be the devil Ukraine is willing to put her trust in because that devil supports her right to exist seperate from Russia. Without western support Ukraine would not have her own autonomy and you may say well she has a new ruler now then yes maybe I would agree with you but its the better of two devils. Russia is not fighting a holy war, far from it.

Nato is a vastly superior strength than what Russia can fight with in a non nuclear capacity. Everyone knows nuclear war is total annihilation for everyone.

Is there much to be worried about - as Chernobyl from what I've seen

okay.  just maybe yet again what we were told about the dangers were either exaggerated or lies. IDK.

I never had a problem with the Irish & most i met were friendly.
Was a few dickheads but mainly youngsters (as i was too) & i found the UDR were more aggressive than we were.
I remember watching the Prisoners playing football in the Maze Prison (Long Kesh what ever you want to call it)
I also remember the prison in Belfast , Crumlin Road & the prisoners were worse.
It´s a shame i never got to see S Ireland.
I also visited Derry or as we call it Londonderry.. Got Aggro  ;D

Is there much to be worried about - as Chernobyl from what I've seen
is being re habited by people & animals also Nagasaki & Hiroshima seem
okay.  just maybe yet again what we were told about the dangers were either exaggerated or lies. IDK.

A person can only safely stay in Chernobyl for a few hours from what I understand.

Compared to Nagasaki and Hiroshima it apparently contained far more radioactive material.

The problem with radioactive material leaking into the sea is that currents slowly transfer it across long distances, far from the region.

I think Putin is talking about "Tactical Nukes"  which will hit a planned area & of course will cause serious problems for an advancing army.
I believe OneMoreRep is an ex Gunner in the Marines so he will know this.
Back in the day we were tought to fire a Nuclear round on the M109 Gun as did the other American Guns the M107, M110 which we British used in Germany.

15-18 kilotons. About the same as Hiroshima / Nagasaki. It can cause a tremendous amount of damage depending on where it is detonated.

Correction:

The 15-18KT yield was for the M65 Atomic Cannon. Looks like the M109 could theoretically have fired nuclear artillery with a yield of around 2KT.

155mm W82 nuclear artillery shell, cancelled. Likely would have been delivered by M109 self-propelled, M114 towed howitzers and M198 towed howitzers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W82

The W82 (also known as the XM785 shell) was a low-yield tactical nuclear warhead developed by the United States and designed to be used in a 155 mm artillery shell. It was conceived as a more flexible replacement for the W48, the previous generation of 155 mm nuclear artillery shell. A previous attempt to replace the W48 with the W74 munition was canceled due to cost.

Originally envisioned as a dual-purpose weapon, with interchangeable components to allow the shell to function as either a standard fission explosive or an enhanced radiation device, the warhead was developed at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory[1] starting in 1977. The eventual prototype round had a yield of 2 kt (8.4 TJ) in a package 34 inches (860 mm) long and weighing 95 pounds (43 kg),[1] which included the rocket-assisted portion of the shell. The unit cost of the weapon was estimated at US$4 million.[2]: 93  Although enhanced radiation devices were considered more effective at blunting an invasion due to the high neutron flux they produce, the more complex design eventually led to the cancellation of the dual-purpose W82-0 program in 1982. Development of a standard weapon, the W82-1, was restarted in 1986. The program was finally cancelled in 1991 due to the end of the Cold War.

Yes each Gun Battery had to always have a trained team for the task, i got spammed for it twice.
we had a tool kit special for the fuzing & setting the Round, infact it was like a surgical operation as 1 guy was the "toolman" who passed the tools to me & another guy ..we were attaching the fuze & setting it.
The fuze was nothing like a normal fuze for say HE or smoke, illuminating rounds.
It also had numbers running top to bottom in a small window, not like a normal fuze.
after me & the other guy fuzed it & set it it was carried in a special cradle to a Gun which was then Layed & fired the round.
we were in full nuclear kit masked up Noddy suite on.
as far as i remember we had Trenches dug which we were to shelter in.. as much use as Tits on a fish ..fire it & die
being young men at the time i don´t think we really understood the consequences of our actions & the seriousness of it all.
We worked & trained with (if my memory is OK) with the US  15 USAFAD Sennelager. infact we stole their flag  :)

I should also point out we used a training round which was an exact replica of the real one. It also came packed in a special metal container which had a window that showed  if the round  was OK, we had a saying to remind us ,
"Blue is true...Pink stinks"  so if it showed the colour Blue it was OK.
I think it had something to do with humidity.

So 2 Kilotons of explosive power from 155mm artillery or a tank gun.

Which would be extremely powerful, considering Hiroshima and Nagasaki blasts were about 15 and 20 kilotons.

These two are confused about why the West is making all these mistakes and why Austin can't give a direct answer. Well, if the goal is depopulation then it all makes sense. But they fail to go there. Basically, the goyim dying on both sides in Ukraine are a plus for the Zionists. And if it escalates to WW3 more goyim can die. The instigators have their bunkers.

The entertainment industry sometimes drops hints. In Fallout they decided to use Nukes so they could justify their vault business and because they wanted to preemptively strike to direct and control a collapse. And for greedy reasons they wanted to shape society all over again in their vaults, and observe and experiment with different outcomes. One scenario a conspirator floated was stocking a vault with limited resources and placing too many people in it. That way it could satisfy his curiosity about human behavior in an entertaining manner.

In the real world, it could be that the globalist elite want to bring down the world's population in a controlled manner to around 500 million people. The upcoming AI and robotic innovations would also reduce the need for billions of people. Perhaps Russia and China are part of this agenda - Trump as well. We don't know what goes on behind closed doors. This could all be scripted.

I believe the modern guided stuff has selectable yields down to a couple of hundred - but of course that's still awful when you recall that those old-school daisy-cutters were roughly equivalent to only(!) ~10 tons

So the idea of lobbing those massive old shell nukes purely ballistically like some great big fuck-off mortar is a bit scary - imagine the potential for "Oops!" moments!!!

I can´t speak for the Russian Artillery but it´s much more accurate now.
I mean our Forward OP´s did an 8 Grid Map reference which was at the time very accurate for HE Rounds.
Later the AGLS came in which they now use & Lays the Guns. Incedently we back in the day had to Lay the Gun using Directors, you had to know your drills. Check Bearing, recording drills, image lost..etc

The same thing can be said about the US arsenal. Have you not read about all the Boeing issues? The US also has to deal with all these DEI hires complicating the matter. Why anyone would think the Russians are less capable than a DEI or transgender hire is a mystery to me.

Russia also paid their dues in WW2. The Soviet Union's total civilian and military deaths were around 24 million in WW2. Contrast that with the UK's loss of 450,700 and the US of 418,500 and you can see why WW2 and their defeat of Germany means so much more to the Russians. Germany lost about 6.6-8.8 million and Japan about 2.6-3.1 million people. China was a close second to the Soviet Union with around 20 million civilian and military deaths. Russia's death toll would have been the majority of the Soviet Union number.

Russians today value the sacrifice their forefathers made to defend their nation and territory. No way will they allow an upstart like the failing USA to take away what they fought and died for. Russia also sees the American decline and the rotting from within. I am sure their preference would be that they don't have to resort to nukes to take out a dying USA.

Without the financial aid from the United States (almost $200 billion today), Russia would probably not have lasted long.

Even before the United States entered World War II in December 1941, America sent arms and equipment to the Soviet Union to help it defeat the Nazi invasion. Totalling $11.3 billion, or $180 billion in today’s currency, the Lend-Lease Act of the United States supplied needed goods to the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1945 in support of what Stalin described to Roosevelt as the “enormous and difficult fight against the common enemy — bloodthirsty Hitlerism.”

I think the T-34 was their main Tank, was rough & ready easy to repair not like German Tanks which were precision Engineering & also the T-34 had wide tracks which helped them in the thick mud when the snow melted.

We got hold of a T-34 during the first Gulf War - supposedly to learn from it.  But when we got inside it we were staggered at how old school it was.  Wooden benches with no padding for example.  No padding at any of the potential bash points actually.  And as for ventilation?  Masks with flexi-tubes connected directly to the outside - no NCB filter, nothing...  talk about no frills!

yes..& you got Rambo  ;D Actually i think it´s good that if you serve in the US Military you can get Education paid (not sure exactly but i read it somewhere)
I mean the British Army just give you a short course. After 9 years service i just got a driving course driving artics (HGV 1 , C+E) for us. i already had HGV 2 so it was a piece of piss.
Drove trucks for a while but didn´t enjoy it much. At least the US pay for an Education.
Rambo was army.

They were built under tremendous time pressure during the Battle of Stalingrad and I guess were never upgraded as newer models started coming out immediately?

As I remember from Anthony Beevor's book the first T-34s were produced in such a hurry they didn't even have gun sights. The gunner literally had to look down the barrel to aim the gun.

They are sitting ducks. Russia could take out the carriers with a few hypersonic missiles armed with nukes. Russia also has many subs off US coastlines.

Here's the current US Secretary of Defense. Will he outwit his Russian counterparts?

He's been steadily promoted through the previous decades. I prefer his WW2 depiction in the u571 submarine movie

Anyone have that quote about Jews planning to elevate blacks to the upper echelons of societies? Google, Bing, Duck have all scrubbed it.

When I see this picture I am reminded of that quote and how Jews and Blacks are working together to get Whitey!
