As a Russian, I will reveal Russia's real point of view on this issue. Rybar is not a major news agency. There is little or no media coverage of the radar incident. This has not even been confirmed or denied at the official level.
The government has never discussed the issue of a nuclear strike on Ukraine. Such calls came only from some people and some experts.
But with all this, there is a clear understanding in the government and the highest echelons of power that all these military actions could easily result in a direct clash with NATO, which, if it happens, will certainly result in a large-scale nuclear war. . Here is the most correct overview of the situation.
Yup. The West is however pushing Russia to a corner and they need to crawl back into the hole they came out of.
@@harryflashman4542 Western idiocracy? Have you watched what is on RU tv daily? I suggest for example "Russian media monitor" here on RUclips, the channel records and translates clips from RU talk show that is obviously Kremlin sanctioned.
Curious about how the viewership numbers of Russian major media compare with war bloggers / Telegram channels. It sure looks like the war bloggers have a lit of influence.
@@harryflashman4542 Western idiocracy? Have you seen what is on Kremlin sanctioned tv daily?
Why lie? Medvedev isn't gov and Solovyev/Kiselev isn't gov mouthpiece? The truth is Putin et all constantly threaten with nukes. Idi nahui and Moscovia delenda est.
Rt has suggested nuclear weapon strikes like every day for 2 years
Saw one news post, but forgot from which one, like around 4 months ago.
The post was something like that- from start off war, Russia is saying about nukas every 2.5 days. So like 300 times they have told. 😂
Russian media monitor is great channel - its crazy what they are allowed to say on russian TV
It's to build psychological pressure in the synapses. This re-activates in the brain given the right context word. It can be done with anything.
Russia is falling apart
Russians threaten the use nukes as though they were the only ones who have them
The NAFO chills here are truly insane. „Kiew just tips over the nuclear threat equilibrium? Yeah whatever, russias own fault“
You fools don’t realize that a nuclear escalation would vaporize you as well, don’t you?
And so, when an evil authoritarian dictator threatens us, you suppose we should just appease him? We tried that in WW2, it didn’t work.
Okay let’s use our brains for five seconds here. You nuke someone, now what? You nuked someone you were not actually at war with, someone who also have nuclear missiles, what exactly do you think happens after that? What exactly would you achieve from that? Does it make your situation better or worse? Will your allies be eager to involve themselves in a situation like that, knowing very clearly, you were the one that took it there.
It’s more like “You fools do realize things like that goes both ways, don’t you?
Russia invaded another country and gets butt hurt when they struck back.
Russia defends state safety.And warned about invasion many months before it. Learn something normal about this conflict

Russia said the same thing when Ukraine confirmed the arrival of Patriot Air defense systems.
And the F-16s.
And the Challenger 2 tanks DU armor meaning they have "a nuclear component." No words with how Russian state media twists shit. At least American propaganda is usually double think or double speak, but Russian is basically saying the equivalent "oh wow you bought a golf cart? Guess you're gonna hit somebody and DUI on the highway after robbing a bank."

@@Fik13GamingChannelnothing can be done about it. Can't let one madman cower the world.
@@E3ECO and the depleted uranium shells
Serious question, isn’t a nuclear strike for Russia More Bad than good. Because after they use a nuke, they lose one of theire biggest assets, the fearmongering , I as German see the effectiveness of theire threats every day. Also it just absolutely isolates them from theire last partners like china or India. Not to mention the inner political distress such usages would cause for any country using nukes. So how do they actually benefit from the actual use of even just tactical nuclear weapons?
I can see the Russian narrative from the inside.
There is no point in Russia using nuclear weapons against Ukraine. But if the situation as a whole is such that the West intervenes in the conflict and Russia begins to lose in it, things may come to an exchange of nuclear missiles with Western countries.
As you are German I would have thought you would have been a little more anti-war with your rather chequered history. You Germans haven’t learned a thing.
Well pushed to a point where their military gets crippled or they cripple the other army they'll choose to cripple the other army. If things countinue the way they are I honestly think they'll get to a point where they will have to use one. I feel like so many people are underestimating how scary this situation is.
@@AJM_Was_Taken Even then, all the nuke does is force the west to pull their thumbs out of their asses and intervene directly.
but they're winning?
That’s funny because Russia literally just said they wanted peace talks, and now they’re turning around and talking about using a nuke😅
Olive branch in one hand, big red button in the other
@@mitchyoung93state sponsored media
I don’t think so because the Kremlin is denying those claims of Putin himself wanting peace talks 😂
They didn’t ask for peace talks. They specifically said that there is no one to negotiate with as Zelensky is an illegitimate President.
@@thiefsleef6752 they also denied claims their little green men were in Crimea and that the forces around Ukraine were not going to invade 😂
Threats don't mean as much after the 100th time.
The difference between crying wolf and crying nuke is the wolf might eat one boy while a nuke can kill millions.
And nobody is all that concerned with a massive international volley after volley of revenge wolves...
We should've done a nuclear test when Trump was president to scare Russia. Everyone flipped out about it but now Russia is planning to detonate a nuclear weapon on a neighboring state against its will.
You really want them to drop a nuke do you ?
Yeah, and when they do it, it gets even better reactions from people who think this way. - "Oh shit, they actually fking did it!"
You do realize that if you extrapolated what Russia is doing to the behavior of a singular person that law enforcement would be ringing alarm bells that it is not a question of if but when.
The only difference is that the west can back off of Russia and we can avert nuclear war.
Must have been one lousy radar if it couldn’t detect one lousy drone.
Thank you Preston, Enjoy our Memorial Day weekend..
They’ve been talking about that for years, why is this surprising lol
They must not have the parable of the boy that cried wolf in Russia. It's probably not bleak enough.
Have you read it? There’s a wolf that appears in the end of the story.
Better than that they have a saying.
No matter how much you feed a wolf it will always look to the forest.
No one wants to be a sheep, let alone a star spangled, bbqd one.
The point is when you are constantly crying wolf no one will believe you when there's actually a wolf. If you are constantly making threats you aren't serious about the one time you are no one will believe you.
And like in the story there is a threat. Russia is not crying wolf, because we know for a fact they have a significant nuclear arsenal.
But the wolf did come.'
Anytime anything happens they threaten to use them
I feel like they don't even work. Why else would you sit here and say "I'M GONNA DO IT! ILL DO IT!" Every couple of days for going on 3 years. They're simply trying to intimidate Ukraine/the west into not leveling the playing field. Look at the debate about striking Russia, Ukraine could have hit the massed troops of the Kharkiv offensive had they not been on a leash and saved lives. Russia knows this and plays the nuke card to keep that leash on. But I've done a deep dive into nuclear weapons cost upkeep and what I found was the UK spent a comparable amount annually as Russia does on their nuke maintenence yet only had a fraction of what Russia does. So either Russia has some super cheap way to maintain their expensive and sophisticated nuclear weapons or they're lying.
and when they use them, you cant say they didnt warn you :D
@ndig088 That's not how nuclear war works bud. Also your "88" in your name explains a lot.
They threatened to step in when Ukraine wanted to join nato and they laughed, well nobody is laughing now huh
@@rajaydon1893 I'm laughing.
A message to the future generations never make russia feel threatened
the difference between "looking dangerous" and "being dangerous".Russia
describes military doctrine as defensive military doctrine. With regard
to nuclear weapons specifically, Russia reserves the right to use
nuclear weapons: in response to the use of nuclear and other types of
weapons of mass destruction against it or its allies,in case of
aggression against Russia with the use of conventional weapons when the
very existence of the state is threatened
How do Russian nuclear weapons compare to the rest of the world?
Russia - 6,257
America 5,550
UK - 225
France - 290
China - 350
Israel - 90
Pakistan - 165
India - 156
North Korea - 40
Not even the Ukrainians are threatening the existence of Russia. So we have nothing to worry about then.
From a Russian perspective, opening the door to a nuclear response during a time when Russia's detection capability is degraded seems pretty stupid. I don't understand the logic behind this.
It’s degraded, not gone.
illogical and childish threats don't follow normal logic.
The logic is that attacking their early warning system is technically equivalent of an actual nuclear attack. By cold war doctrine this could trigger a full scale nuclear response. The logic is exactly that since their detection capability is degraded, as far as they know an attach could be underway already, so the logical response is to launch while they can.
Seems like the west is doing everything to push Putin into a nuclear war. I'm not sure what's the plan, since if they succeed everyone dies everywhere.
They’re yapping. The dying throes of a country
It’s not the only system and there are several layers
Maybe everyone should learn from this that if you don't want your fancy toys blown up, you shouldn't start wars, no matter what semantics you hide behind.
They didn’t see it coming? Not very good radar
They probably want you to join in since they are weak with their old rusty century old tech, and then when you join in, they plan to show you f around and find out.
It’s not meant for detecting small things and drones it’s supposed to detect early signs of nuclear launch
Никто не предполагал, что Зеленский психопат и готов уничтожением радара пойти на риск запустить автоматику запуска ядерных ракет, которая наносит ядерный удар самостоятельно без участия человека. Был бы радар не поврежден, а уничтожен, ИИ мог вполне посчитать, что ядерная война уже началась. По сути Зеленский с помощью ваших ракет ATACMS 4 дня назад пытался запустить цепочку по которой планета будет уничтожена автоматическим ударом Российских ядерных ракет.
This is why people who side with Ukraine are low iq 😂
i find it very odd that RU couldn’t detect the drone or weapon used to begin with. which begs a new question, if it had trouble detecting that weapon, what use would it have against modern, stealthy, western strategic/ tactical nuclear stand off weapons?
You can't attack Russia in that manner without retaliation. It's not physically possible. Your question is stupid. Your suggestion is moronic. Drones are something that no modern SAM was ready for. It's a new threat and each country is equally vurnerable to this new threat.
It’s funny people are buying into a radar being destroyed that couldn’t detect the missile which destroyed it thinking Russia was using it to detect nuclear launches. They know exactly what is aimed at them and so does the EU. The nuclear talk is all for the masses to keep us in fear because if we aren’t scared the budget on weapons will be blocked and stopped. All gaslighting from the usual lying ass media and politicians
Russia does not have enough air defense systems to establish an air defense in depth and so a lot of the interior targets are left completely undefended.
In that case, we all die 😢
United States couldn't stop a balloon from flying over the one special place. They took days to shoot it down and recover it .
How dare Ukraine fight back. The nerve of them who do they think they are
Russia: Surprised Pikachu face!
How dare a peasant of a country dare to poke a bear? Maybe because Papa Biden was whispering sweet nothings (American Support) in Zylinskis ear.
I have like so many questions .
1. Why isn’t it heavily protected no defenses around it at all?
2. How did it NOT detect a drone or anything near it ?
Like I just have so many questions tbh . & the RU government hasn’t come out about it , or say ANYTHING just the usual RU media .
Why would a anti nuke radar detect a drone? You dont know what you are talking about. Dont embarass yourself you donkey.
We can only hope the US has finally stopped being idiots about strikes inside Russia with western weapons. Ukraine has needed to do this since day one, to have any chance at victory. You can't hope to win a war when your adversary is repeatedly hitting your infrastructure and you're not allowed to do the same.
They have carried out strikes inside Russia with NATO weapons a number of times, yet they’ve never been called out on it
I mean, it worked so well for us in Korea and Vietnam. Oh, wait.....
@@panachevitzyou mean when you helped them defend themselves against an invasion by providing them with weapons? Oh, wait...
@@panachevitz Fair comparison. Oh, wait....
Is this works the same way backward???? Would you be happy when RU start attacking stormshadow facilities in the UK and France????
Retard, just use your brain, im pretty surr that was a red line in te secret conversations, we dont hit you you dont hit us, keep it in ukrain - if ukrain will start using western weapons in russia they will have every right to attack the facilities where these weapons are assembled
See this is the thing. When you say that so often it no longer as potent as when you say it the first time. After saying it so much I just say hey it must be Tuesday Russian threatens nukes again. It reminds me of the drunk guy at the bar that threatens to fight everyone in the bar but ends up falling down all on his own.
What you're expressing is called normalcy/recency bias. The fact that someone repeatedly begs you not to make them fire doesn't mean that they won't in fact fire on you if forced to.
@@johnnyshanksalot8358agreed. Also such simpleton terms should not be used for nukes, the whole world will suffer
It remind me on one different story, about Shepard that was yelling wolf, wolf, wolf every day just to fool people around, one day there was wolf for real.
They said stop expanding to their border many times or else and nobody gave a damn, now everyone gives a damn now😂
@@rajaydon1893exactly! Putin warned western countries for 8 years about ukraine and then started the so called special military operation....
from a possible ceasefire two days ago to this is wild 😂
Striking the strategic early warning radar has no defensive purpose for Ukraine at all. It's only purpose would be to weaken Russia's strategic missile defence against a NATO first strike. So yeah, I can see why that makes Russia nervous.
Do you know what's an ATACMS? it's more or less a miniature version of an ICBM... So yeah it makes 100% sense to destroy that kind of radar considering it covers Crimea which is a totally valid target for ATACMS.
It shows Russia that Ukraine can get to them, and there's no safe zone. That's the purpose.
Oh my, they're nervous, feelings hurt... Then don't start a war of conquest.
@Pabz2030 finally, a sane comment in this section.
@@peterflohr7827 A war of conquest? Lol wat a ukrainibot, It's a war of dire national security for the Russian federation.

How can something that can never happen be dangeorus ? This guy is making garbage click bait videos for naive people.
Saying this detection system doesn't point at Ukraine is like saying Crimea is not part of Ukraine. You should either delete this video and re-release it with language that doesn't imply Crimea is NOT Ukraine or issue a statement clarifying that you believe Crimea to be a part of Ukraine. Right now a clip of this video would make great Russian TV.

If you don't want your nuclear defense capabilities compromised, then don't attack a country that can do that.

Rattling a sabre makes noise. Drawing it does not, and Russia hasn't shut up about this since the war started. Sabre-rattling is all it is, because that's all Russia CAN do without risking NATO powers getting involved directly or China and India abandoning them!
Nuclear is a word that comes out after every other word they say, just look at drunk Medvedev's posts. We'll respond with grim resolve and conventional firepower.
Very VERY good analysis of the current situation 👍

Ukraine wanted to join NATO to prevent further invasions after Crimea and parts of Eastern Ukraine got taken by the Russians back in 2014.
In retaliation to the potential expansion, the fault of which lies solely on Russia and its agressive stances against its neighbours, Russia decided to launch a larger invasion, on a significantly larger scale.
So...Russia invaded Ukraine because Ukraine was weak, then Ukraine wanted to join NATO to prevent further losses, Russia git scared and increased intensity, and you are willfully ignorant of the actual situation because you think Putin is a strong and good man with trad values or whatever BS you wanna believe in.

Rattling a sabre makes noise. Drawing it does not.
Whats the point of attacking strategic nuclear defences?
Well, America reserves the right to a first strike. So Ukraine probably thought they could take out this radar and give the US a free shot on Russia. Not thinking that if that were to happen the Russians wouldn't just sit back and take it, they'd fire everything.

Those sites can be used for normal detection also
@willw9204 Isn't it too late by then. Why do you need a system that only detects missile strikes?
@@OneCanisLupusit allows you to pinpoint the launch site & destroy it for things like HIMARS, as Himars fires Missiles. Hence why it’s a valid target as it can be used in counter-battery
Sounds like desperation. Russia is realizing that no matter how many advances they make on the battlefield, they’re locked in an essential “forever war” right on their border. How can they ever honestly hunker down for a long term geo political and economic struggle with the west when they have this constant adversary on its border just firing at strategic targets on the daily?
Actually reminds me of the Americans at the end of ww2 after the fall of Germany, desperate to wrap things up in Asia against a Japan who refused to quit.
it seems the more they advance the more desperate NATO is becoming I mean to temper about the nuclear response capability of the biggest nuclear power in the world led by a so called insane man.. You gotta be out of your mind to do that. so you can find out weather he will use nukes or not. Silliest behaviour I have ever seen.

Doesn't seem like it's really much of a loss when it comes down to it.😂

How could missiles possibly get through to this site,considering how important it was ?
Russian still maintains the “dead hand switch.”
So who provided the location and means to attack them?
We all know who it is
And for a matter of fact it's the only guy who cannot by any means to argue on violating others soviernty..and also especially on preemptive strikes...

Yes definitely during The Cuban Missile Crisis when usa found out about the placement of weapons in Cuba, usa went from we will do what we like in Turkey, we will place what we like, where we want to let's negotiate now please I will remove this from Turkey, can you please remove it from Cuba.
How did nuclear war start? Slowly then really fast.
The idea that Ukraine carried out this attack on something that supposedly had nothing to do with the war and just to "test" Putin is probably the funniest thing to come out of the Russian milblogs all year.
Bluffing again. As usual.
It's really difficult to look at Russia as a near peer adversary and consider their doctrine as legitimate, at least for me. "Putting myself in Russia's shoes" would have to require me to imagine that I've waged a war against my neighbor for ideological reasons. I personally struggle to go there.
Its always worth covering things that are potentially species ending. Thanks Preston.
Don't pick a fight if you don't like where you might get hit.
Taking out nuclear first strike radar brings a harsh response.
That radar could see everything between 5 and 35 degrees of the horizon for 3000 kilometers, including bombers and multi-role fighters. Ukraine needs Russia blind so that they can strike Russian targets in Crimea unimpeeded. The only reason everyone's making a huge stink about this is because that radar happened to be part of Russia's early warning system. Sucks to be them, but they were idiots to think that it was somehow off limits after everything they've done to Ukraine.
It's almost as if Ukraine knows what sort of response such actions would put into motion.
Looks like you'll be very busy soon in regards covering warfare in today's world big bad Preston
This radar is very good at tracking aircraft as well and would be highly useful in the Crimea environment It supposedly has the ability to track object with a flat plane section of 25cmsquare
Uh, nope. It's an early warning UHF radar. Which means it's only designed for -tracking- detecting longer range ballistic missiles over horizon that fly at very high altitudes, because the radar resolution is very low and is ill-suited for any targets at low altitude since they are indistinguishable from ground clutter. The only thing it offers Russia in its conflict with Ukraine is PERHAPS a detection of ATACMS, but with the way it's pointed (mostly towards Turkey) and relatively short ranges involved (compared to the ranges for which early warning radars are meant for), any warning would not be very... "early".
Which is why it's quite weird that Ukraine felt the need to strike it as that radar's contribution to Russian war effort in Ukraine is marginal at best.
@@NLozar22 it is even listed in the wiki page that is one of the capabilities of the radar located there is small stuff at close range. Perhaps the confusion come because you did not know there are two different types of that radar set at that location. providing so so coverage of Crimea something RU needs right now.
@@paperburn I did a wee bit of research but the only radar *type* I found there is Voronezh-DM, which is UHF OTH ballistic missile early warning radar.
There indeed are two arrays, one facing south-east and the other facing south-west, with the latter one possibly partially covering southern Ukraine.
At any rate, these radars allow much earlier detection (over the horizon) of long range ICBM class targets than other radars. With how inaccurate these early warning radars are (because they aren't meant to be accurate), any ATACMS launches would only be detected by the time that other radars, such as SAM search and possibly ever track radars, could detect it as well and do so much more accurately.
@@NLozar22 It could see anything between 5 and 35 degrees of the horizon, and a 4th-gen fighter plane like the F-16 has a larger cross-section than an inbound ballistic missile.
@@BlackEpyon Frequencies below 1 GHz (which is where UHF starts) are in Rayleigh region, meaning object's RCS is no longer relevant and radar resolution is so low that everything appears as anything. Can be useful for longer range ballisitc missiles that may be several hundred kilometers high, but anything else at any lower altitude will appear indistinguishable from ground clutter.
Also, it's an over-the-horizon (OTH) radar so I don't know what to make of the "5 to 35 degrees" figure.
So in conclusion, it can be useful for ICBMs while they are still thousands of kilometres away and hundreds high, but by the time it could detect tactical ballistic missiles, so could other radars such as SAMs, and actually do so with some degree of accuracy, unlike UHF radars.
I saw reporting about the radar sites on another channel.
These sites are part of a larger system.
There are multiple sites facing outwards all around Russia.
The two radar setups here primarily point south and south west.
They are fixed direction sites.
It’s generally considered bad etiquette to fuck with the top two strongest nuclear power’s early warning system. For both the US and Russian doctrine, that constitutes a nukable offense. Not that they plan to do it, but it shows the desperation of Ukraine in trying to escalate this all the way to draw the US more directly into the conflict
Bullshit. That radar was also capable of seeing planes in the sky, not just missiles. Ukraine needs Russia BLIND in order to take control of Crimea!
They started this mess.
Um, NATO expansion started this. This response was promised if Ukraine decided to join. NATO after the fall of the Soviet Union swore to not expand eastward. Did anyway. Now we fund an unwinnable war at the cost of the stability of the USD and our futures.
What goes around comes around...
F#ck sakes, we're stupid creatures.
You were correct, the two radars are pointing outward c. due S ( see your overhead image with shadows pointing c. due N. ), towards Turkey and the Black Sea coast
The state exists primarily to defend its citizens, if it cannot offer then protection from enemy forces then the reasons for it to exist fall away. The moment you enable such a situation you are effectively in a state of war, even if it is not declared.
If Putin orders a launch of nuclear weapons, at least two other Russian high officials must approve such a launch. Even in the event of such a unanimous approval, those beneath those high officials may not necessarily comply with such orders.
Ya know how to tell when a Russian is lying? Their lips move.
Lie to my catbox port
No, that's Biden, Bliken, Harris, and Graham
@@stevegrifftx found you comrade, now go sleep it off Ivan.
@stevegrifftx so russia took Kiev in 10 days? Silly orc fool
If you can’t see their lips, is it still a lie?
At this point, Russian Nuclear threats are as credible as my claims that I'm looking for a job.
Giving a rat's a** how Russia views the destruction of their early-warning radar is the first problem with this analysis, since they're the cause of the entire conflict anyway. We should assume the attack IS a test of Pootler's constant threat to use the nuclear option. Now we'll see how incredible that threat is and always has been. Nuclear weapons are useless against an adversary that's daring you to use them, as the United States learned in Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh was a military genius, and while his hard lesson may be lost on Pootler, Zelenskyy gets it. Moreover, the reasonably credible threat of an American conventional response on Russian military assets actually inside Ukraine shouldn't be discounted, since we're probably able to wipe the floor with Russia's severely degraded military right now. In fact, carrying that thread of logic forward, we might be behind the attack on these radars, hoping to goad Russia into giving us a pretext to completely destroy their combat power. We did exactly that to Japan before Pearl Harbor, intending to decimate their naval power and extend our reach clearly across the Pacific. In six months, the IJN was on the back foot, and in another three years was at the bottom of the ocean. It looks like they're just f**king around up there in Washington, but it only looks that way. The United States government as an institution has always been playing the "long game", and all the theatrics of the political process is just to keep us entertained, while the State and Defense Departments keep to a plan that's been formulated not week by week but rather decade by decade.
This is it, especially the end. As much as we criticize what it looks like the administration is doing, they seem to be doing quite a lot behind closed doors.
@@Khronogi As if the American Sheeple have the capacity to comprehend or opine cogently on what's being discussed and decided "behind closed doors". They don't.
West should immediately tell Ukraine to stop attacking these.
LOL. Why?
@@quintrankid8045 Because attacking nuclear response capabilities is wildly inappropriate and dangerous.
@@jakovvodanovic9165 Then maybe the West should immediately tell Russia to get out of Dodge, because you know, starting a war is wildly inappropriate and dangerous. Just look at what it's come to.
@@quintrankid8045 The West is telling Russia that with all the weapons. This is a simple risk-benefit analysis. Russia is paranoid and if a small tactical advantage for Ukraine can result in WW3 i don't think it's worth it.
@@jakovvodanovic9165 It's not a small tactical advantage. At the moment Russia can stay behind their border and shoot at Ukraine at will. Ukraine can't shoot back effectively. Is Russia paranoid? Or are they psychopaths. Either way, letting them have a victory isn't a solution because they'll just come back for more.
the response from russia having their forces crushed in ukraine would likely be nuclear and strategic. having nato on their doorstep and their forces weakened by a non negligible percentage, it would be their only recourse. we are on the brink, it seems
They put themselves in that situation. They could just as well get out of it.
True
wow, thats quite a stretch man. I doubt that someone who wears much botox and makeup as putin would use nuclear weapons.
Always remember when the US lost the Vietnam war and nuked some stuff to make a point.
Russia can't use nukes against NATO without being nuked in return. He knows that. Apparently, you've forgotten.
If they are military assets, does it really matter. It hasnt prevented russia from hitting any target they want in Ukraine
I don’t understand the problem…I live in Nevada probably 160 miles from where the government used 928 nuclear weapons and I’m fine dogs fine fish are fine 🤔 crops still grow every year….
Exactly .Hiroshima is a thriving Japanese city today whereas Fukushima is still too heavily irradiated after an accident
@@Marvin-dg8vjnot exactly. 98% of the Fukushima prefecture is now safe for habitation. The 2% that isn’t is mostly around the power station itself. But people still work there every day.
The escalation from smaller tactical to much much larger strategic weapons is the issue. It's a run away train to the end of the world.
@@Ken.H so was that last virus we had rite…..and Y2K
The bombs that were drop on Japan were air burst around 1500-2000ft from the ground. The majority of radioactive was lofted into the atmosphere and spread around the world
I think that is because of F16. F16 will be treated like nuclear wepon.
Russia has cried wolf on this so many times. No one seems to care in the general public at all, and I don't blame them. Trying to use nukes is about the only way NATO would directly get involved and surely they know this.
If I had to guess, they are going this hard on saber rattling due to the growing discussion of western weapons being used inside of Russia.
So, the use of tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine, which is not a NATO member, would provoke a nuclear war? Do you think, for instance, that the United Kingdom would risk London for Ukraine? Or that any Western country would risk a nuclear strike for Ukraine?
@acazamboni1544 yes, there is no real risk to NATO countries.
You do know a wolf appears at the end of the story…
@@mtnregnar198 No one is scared of Russia anymore. It's really become a joke, the fact almost 3 years in they still can't beat Ukraine with 20+ year old hand-me-downs really says everything. Everyone is waiting for Russia to get "serious" though lol
If no one is afraid why isn’t NATO entering the war and saving Ukrainian lives? Why isn’t the US conducting regime change in Russia and disarming their nuclear capabilities? There’s nothing to be afraid of.
Your reasoning or analysis doesn't take into the fact that Russia attacked another country without being attacked first. In addition, Russia continues attacking civilian infrastructure, yet you are talking about putting yourself in Russian shoes. The Ukrainians have the right to hit any military targets in Russia.
That’s proves the famous dead hand doesn’t exist!
The system uses barimetric and radionucleide sensors. Conventional weapons do not trigger a response.
Which way does the wind usually blow?
@@Mr820121I’m pretty sure every engineer with kids who worked on it made sure it would never trip.
To escalate to nukes means that they risk losing allies and bringing enemies into the conflict that are not bound by location.
finally this war is heading somewhere entertaining.
Russia won't do shit
