In an extraordinarily blunt intervention, Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton warned that Russia’s military strength is increasing and is something to fear, with Russian troops now battle-hardened after spending the past nearly four years waging a full-scale war in Ukraine.
RuZZia is getting mauled, their tanks are gone, their air defense is gone, their troops are poorly equipped to say the least and 75% of their nukes are probably non-functional at this point. What are they going to attack NATO with? Meat wave assaults? What a joke!
Don’t forget that they are also reportedly squandering their gold reserves, and are losing a lot of revenue from Ukraines growing attacks on oil infrastructure. Russia isn’t going to be able to pay its soldiers or buy equipment if those two trends continue.
25% of 5,000 = 1,250.
That’s assuming that the remaining 25% get through NATO’s air defense network. Gotta survive the THAAD systems and all the other air defense.
That’s also assuming the 75% never fire, and your anti-missile defense isn’t taking out ones that don’t work. Nuclear war isn’t a betting mans game. Everyone loses.
Ballistic missles are very hard to intercept at that. There’s no way there’s enough missile defense to even come close to stopping them all if Russia launched them all and even only 25% worked.
Same goes for anyone if the US launched them all.
Yeah and a large amount of those are MIRVs that release several shells per missile.
What troops are left are battle hardened, at least.
That one division is going to be super tough to beat.
The rest have been hardened by rigor mortis
Is that what they’re calling PTSD these days?
