Russian nuclear weapons. Should we be afraid? Against the background of Vladimir Putin's constant statements, like the recent one and his henchmen, about defending one's territory and preventive nuclear strikes against ill-wishers like Ukraine, European countries or America, the question becomes more and more relevant. What will Russia use? What weapons can Putin use in his dying attempts to save the situation? Let's talk about that today, in this video. Look, this is a strategic nuclear missile R-36M, according to NATO classification SS-18 Satan. This missile is almost 35 meters long, 3 meters in diameter, and its mass is unthinkable - 211 tons. Now imagine that this huge missile is able to fly 16000 kilometers. By the way, its mass is comparable with 91 Ford F150 or two Boeing 767 planes without passengers. This is frightening. It's operational in one minute. One minute and a missile capable of destroying a city of millions of people is already in the sky! If this missile is launched from the territory of the Moscow region, it will easily reach any city in the USA. Should we say something about Europe? I don't think so. I have not found a single continent on Earth where this missile would not reach from the territory of Russia. Guaranteed destruction of all life, the destruction of all structures and buildings within a radius of 500 km2 in a few minutes. Do you want to understand how much is a lot? Examples in cities. That's like 3 Washington DC, 2 Philadelphia, 3 Miami, 2 Boston, 4/5 Chicago and San Francisco, 1/3 Houston, half Dallas or New York. Impressive? And Russia has a lot of similar missiles, with a range of 10,000 to 16,000 km. 1,181 according to official figures. For understanding, there are only 348 cities in the world where the population exceeds 1,000,000 people. And this is the Kh-555 tactical nuclear missile. It's six times smaller. It's six meters long and has a range of 2,000 kilometers. I could not find information on the area of impact. The warhead mass of this missile is 410 kg, against 8800 kg of R-36M. And this means that it is at least 20 times less destructive. Usually, such weapons are used for specific tasks, such as clearing the territory, striking large logistical hubs, etc. By the way, the city of Mariupol, after the Russian army came to liberate it, now looks like a city where a dozen tactical nuclear missiles were fired. It is very difficult to look at what Russia has turned this city into. Here are some examples of what the city would potentially look like after tactical nuclear weapons were used. How are tactical nuclear weapons used? First there is a strike with a specific purpose. For example, to clear the territory from the enemy, with subsequent passage through the affected territory and occupation of some logistic node or strategic object. After such a blow, using special modifications of armored vehicles, the military side that caused the strike will be able to cross the terrain ... True, it is hard to envy them, hardly any of them can survive until old age after the radiation exposure. Russian armored vehicles are not prepared for such tasks and everyone who dares to cross the affected territories will die of radiation sickness within 2-3 weeks. Strategic nuclear weapons, on the other hand, have only one purpose: to inflict the greatest possible damage on the enemy. It is a weapon for indiscriminate strikes; as I said earlier, one missile is capable of destroying an entire city and making it uninhabitable for hundreds of years to come. Now, let's imagine two scenarios, one in which Russia uses tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine, the other in which it uses strategic nuclear weapons against Ukraine, European countries and directly against America. #ukraine #usa #military
