Yes don't listen to people who think Russia is ahead of us in anyway period. They are obviously lacking any real knowledge of Russian military capabilities and/or gulably believing Russian propaganda. :sick:🤮

Russia has proven not to be even close or on par with the West. Not even slightly.
“Obviously lacking any real knowledge”???
Eye roll.

Russia has invested in and built an entire new generation of strategic nuclear missiles. Where are ours? How many decades old are they again? Will our geriatric President or inept Congress be approving or funding new ones? How long will it take to place them in service? Will Russia and China wait around while we do this? These aren’t hard questions, but you can’t be assumptive close-minded about the answers either. I’ve seen many on this website just go with the naive “nobody can touch us” attitude. But…Anyone ever stop and give a thought about the fact that Russians and Chinese don’t think of war like we do in the West? Or is it easier to just sit there and pretend our conventional military superiority is all-encompassing while you offer smarmy remarks about people who are just pointing out the obvious. Russia has invested a shitload of time and money into the one area they probably understand matters most in the end…strategic nuclear missiles. We haven’t. It’s simple math really.
 
I am surprised. None of the people in the photo look that old.......
Why are you surprised?

The average military age male wouldn’t remember the USSR at all. The Berlin Wall collapsed over 30 years ago. Maybe the after effects, sure, but I dunno

Could it be safe to assume all they know of it is what they’ve been told?
I saw a study saying 75% of Russians are nostalgic for the Soviet Union, so…maybe

Who knows. I’m not Russian.

The United States — $778 billion. China — $252 billion [estimated] India — $72.9 billion. Russia — $61.7 billion. on military spendings, so the US uses more then the next 3 nations combined.

How much of the US defence budget is spent on maintaining its overseas bases?
 
The US nuclear updates and maintenance budget is projected to cost 634 billion over next ten years.
That would be 63 billion a year. Slightly more that Russia’s entire military budget last year.

Remember the F-117 stealth showing up on the world stage in the gulf war over Baghdad in 1991 when it was the first plane to begin dropping guided munitions on command and control targets at night and most of the world had never heard of it.
Did you know it’s first mission was over Panama in 1989.
It was nothing but a rumored black plane with infrequent sightings for five years and then in 91 Oh yeah that’s our new stealth fighter bomber that is undetectable on known radar or thermal platforms.
What I have observed over time is the US doesn’t do military parades to show off their new secret black budget weapons. They answer questions after they’ve been used in combat and people take notice.

There continues today to be high altitude sightings of wedge shaped planes not fitting any known platform


 
It’s not that Russia can’t produce some great equipment. It’s their lack of capacity to produce the numbers and ability to maintain and train with it.
US troops are in constant training cycles to maintain and utilize
Does this mean we can stop addressing them as Russians and return to calling them soviets?
I kind of prefer it. It is how I spent my childhood referring to them. I still have to stop myself from calling them Soviet instead of Russian.
 
Someone correct me I could be wrong here. But would it not be possible to identify where the nuclear material came from after a detonation.
Wouldn’t this make a nuke for a false flag a bad idea.
From things I have read in a diverse number of places over the years each reactor and fuel group used to begin the process of creating weapons grade fissionable material has a signature that stays with the material past detonation. From what I understand the daughter isotopes as well as the nuclear signature of whats left leads back to the origins.....
 
Wonder if this is related to the Osint thread regarding a nato rivet joint flight in the ne Black Sea and the command facility shelled about the same time.
Using nato rivet joint signal sniffer plane to help target a Russia command post that resulted in two Russian generals being killed.
This is just speculation that they are tied together on my part but something to consider.

That was my understanding as well but I’m no expert
 
On another subject entirely I came across reports of Russia having attacked and disabled or destroyed several railway bridges across the Dnjepr river. The source is here
This is an unknown source to me and they do not link what they report here to any other source..... anyone heard anything about this??

That was my understanding as well but I’m no expert
I understand that the equipment and procedure to do this can be pretty involved. I am no expert either. If any one with experience in these areas would or can(due security reasons) share whats involved it would be interesting.
Regards

You are right but you need to understand that it means possible usage WMD against Ukraine. They will deny and there is no way to convince that it was dropped/lauched from....

This is correct, assuming the US would have access to ground zero.

How much was spent on upgrading and modernizing our strategic nuclear deterrent?

This upgrades should have been handled long ago. I’d love to believe we have some top secret weapons that could knock Russias newest missiles out of the sky, but I’d feel a lot more comfortable if we kept parity with their strategic nuclear forces.
