"A nuclear arms race is not a Mexican standoff. It's two sworn enemies knee-deep in gasoline, one with three matches and the other with five." Always got a banger at the end 👍
Well now the porper way to see it is NATO , 4 people with 4 grenades in a room with one homeless in the garden with 4 grenades , two of which are defective . Everybody throws their grenades . Guess who wins the exchange ?
16:25 "Two sworn enemies knees-deep in gasoline, one with 3 matches, the other with 5" I love the fact that you end each video with a quote or with a metaphor. It just give that "insight" good feeling at the end and really shows your depth of understanding.
The flying Chernobyl is the nickname for the 9M730 Burevestnik not the Posseidon The image showed as been the Posseidon is actually the Harpsichord underwater drone. The flight trajectory for the Sarmat showed on your video is more consistent with the one for the Avangard hypersonic glider. Sarmat is a balistical missile and as such has a balistical trajectory The Posseidon's warhead is 50 megaton, not 2
At some point, when a group of men are sitting around a table discussing how to create a nuclear Tsunami to turn much of a continent into an irradiated desert, do you think it does or does not occur to anyone that maybe trying to figure out a way to not need a nuclear Tsunami would be the better option? I don't know, maybe I'm just old fashioned.

@@adied_2001 That was a different case. Nobody else had nukes, so there wasn't going to be a retaliation, and the alternative to nukes was a conventional invasion of mainland Japan, with Allied casualties projected into the millions. This is the only case where nukes really made sense, even though it was still a horrible thing to do. It was the lesser of two evils.
honestly, men that would think in such a way should indeed meet, so we can just remove them more easily and ensure that way of thinking goes the way of the Dodo, for the safety of all of us
I have Russia family members who had said they intentionally avoided getting a STEM degree because the STEM industry in Russia pays terribly and they could make more by working in a restaurant or retail store. Interesting dynamics.
I mean that's incredibly short sighted, people with STEM degrees are usually the ones who find it easier to leave Russia and then get an amazing job overseas (so a double win)
The threat of them possibly existing is good enough of deterrent. I honestly hope that we never have to find out whether or not these weapons actually exist.
They do exist and they do work (at least on paper). However, having the funds and materials to maintaining them is the real issue. The current war has clearly demonstrated how their military has theoretical might.
Anyone that even remotely thinks the Russian Federation is going to completely irradiate the British isles for the next 25,000 years is so geopolitically naïve as not to even bother considering their opinion. Even if Putin so ordered such an action, the Soloviki that were featured in a recent episode of this channel would Very quickly decide that Putin very badly needed a rest. Soviet nuclear and now Russian nuclear policy has Always regarded use of either tactical or strategic nuclear weapons as weapons of last resort. I see nothing that has changed. Furthermore none of us have even the slightest idea of the classified countermeasures the DOD has really developed nevermind deployed. I've watched for decades now as the SDI program conducted test after test. Supposedly with "disappointing" results. None of which l believed for a second.
Absolutely, if Russia did use this on, let’s say, the British Isles. It would sign their own death warrant. A large international coalition would almost certainly be formed, most certainly larger than for Afghanistan, led by America, in response to nuclear attack one of it’s closest ally. At that point, the Russian government will become a pariah that no one can save.
@@Tommiabamf Actually what would be more likely is that NATO high command would see this as a direct attack on NATO and quite possibly advise a counter attack. Proportional or massive retaliation hard to say but one or the other would happen within an hour's time.
Even in California we appreciate your unique (comparatively) and comprehensive style. Really glad I'd been a subscriber prior to the war; I know you try to get beyond the "propaganda", or spin, that permeates much of what you cover. Thank you so much! ✌️
These wunderwaffe are basically abstractions that look nice on paper which never gets fielded with the level of systemic corruption in the Russian military and defense sector. Even the legacy nukes needs 10 million in upkeep every year. How much of the on paper stockpile have had these funds siphoned off since the 90s? Alas Russia is not the near peer state we estimated it to be. Still, I would like to see them to even try to produce a prototype with the chip shortage we have now given its us that control the strategic source of the type of chips they need as well as retain most of the brainpower behind it
Pretty much... rotten and corrupt infrastructure can't even maintain what they have. Their useless carrier Kuznetsov is seaworthy for less than 10% of the time, the other 90% it has to be in dock for constant repair etc. With the chip shortage now, they won't be able to do anything.
I remember my brother who lived in Moscow in the early 2000s, once met a part-time cab driver who said he was part of the Soviet submarine design group & that they designed Titanium alloy submarines (a metal that can't be bent) & was revolutionary back in the day. I thought it was some bluff story exaggerating the decay of the 90s, but after this video it kinda makes sense.
This just shows how good the world has it to live under Pax Americana, the period where the US has been the most powerful nation in the world. Just imagine if Russia or China were the most powerful nation in the world. The world would be a much more chaotic, dangerous place, and liberal democracies would have much less influence in the world
The problem with the analogy is if one sides matches don’t work due to, let’s say, corruption then the other side lighting there’s won’t hurt the side who’s matches work!
@@AW-zk5qb The world has been sh*t under Paxa America, true it's better than Paxa-Rus, or Paxa-PRC. But just cause a sh*t is smaller doesn't make it not be a sh*t. America has orchestrated coups in Latin America, and other countries. It has invaded various countries, and left them in a state of disorder. It has commited countless war crimes against civillians, of sometimes even non-participating countries(such as Laos)
If Russia is trying to link potential defeat in Ukraine / Crimea with the use of a nuclear deterrent, it's escalating to a nuclear conflict. Russia could not use such weapons without an assured nuclear response. NATO is not at war with Russia, any military attack on NATO would result in a military response.
Yeah these weapons are kind of pointless. If Russia uses its "flying Chernobyl" against the UK, either it means that Russia has already been completely destroyed in nuclear fire, or its about to be.
Russia can use such weapons without having to worry about retaliation, both the sarmat and the hypersonic glide vehicle are first strike nuclear weapons, if you drop enough nukes on Europe and the US there won’t be any retaliation Russia just has to make sure of killing most of the US population in the first strike
8:28 According to Wikipedia (sources listed there, as usual), its range is 18.000km. The technique used is called Fractional Orbital Bombardment System, which, basically instead of lobbing it up to come down at a specific target area through pure ballistics (in other words, what the V2 already did in WW2), it also includes a course correction once in space so it stays in a low earth orbit, just to shoot a retrograde burst once the destination is reached. And by entering a LEO, it's not suborbital anymore by definition. So basically it's got a flight profile just like a space shuttle with the only difference that it doesn't land safely, but goes boom-boom instead. With that, they could circumvent the NORAD defensive launch detection systems by just launching them in a southerly direction instead of taking a more direct route, but it won't go inbetween the continents like a snake as shown in the video, even though it would probably pass the south pole or at least get close to it. In case it would be suborbital, they'd do it with the "hypersonic" glide vehicle (everything that comes back from space is hypersonic, so it's just a nice buzzword here) and bounce off of the atmosphere several times. Eugen Sänger had that concept already in WW2 with the "Silbervogel", also known as antipodal bomber, with the thing even coming back for a landing after dropping stuff on the other side of the planet. In a nutshell, there's nothing groundbreakingly new here at all.
Putin wont use nukes because he knows it will be mutually assured destruction,no one wins in this situation so its going to be another cold war except this time there will be cyber warfare,food warfare,petroleum warfare,and all the others ive forgotten.
This piece was okay but I think you're missing some of the bigger picture here: The US and the west have had the capability to develop a missile defense system that would basically negate the entire Russian arsenal's effectiveness since the late 80's. We have a limited amount of these missiles in the ground in a base in Alaska, but we purposefully keep the number low, as you correctly point out, to not tip Russia over the edge. We also use it as a bargaining chip. The missile defense systems in poland and germany were never intended to be used against ICBM's because they are not along the path an ICBM would follow to get to the US. ICBM's would fly over the north pole and through Canada to attack which is the shortest distance. Not over the atlantic. Russia knows this lol. Patriot systems are primarily anti air defense systems that can also take out things like cruise missiles, which can be nuclear tipped. These are considered tactical nuclear weapons though and pose much less threat overall. Russia has had the capability to blow up the entire united states and western europe to kingdom come since the 70's, and we've had the ability to take them with us since then too. Neither side has consciously chosen to negate that edge so as to avoid provoking the other, hence the tense negotiations you describe. Nuclear drone torpedoes provide very little advantage in this measure, because after all, if russia wants to send the united kingdom into a nuclear winter, it doesn't need some scary new drone torpedo to do so. It already posesses the weapons it needs to achieve this goal. All three of these new projects are basically just purely propaganda designed to scare the west and impress people (like you, Caspian report) into falling for it hook line and sinker convincing everyone else that russia is still some relevant and scary power. They're not. Western analysts have been skeptical that poseidon is something Russia will ever be capable of achieving, and now with the onslaught of western sanctions and the general difficulty with obtaining advanced electronics, it's almost certain to set any progress they were making back decades. The west doesn't take russia seriously with these measures because they recognize them for what they are: pure propaganda. And you're just amplifying it.
@@freddiepizerhall8324 look up the ground based interceptor program. It's deployed mostly on the west coast to counteract a launch from north Korea. The aegis system used on most warships since around the time period I mentioned is also the most reliable system we have.
And given how incompetent their modern military is (can't even take over a country they once owned for 400 years lol) they'd probably just end up nuking themselves
@@wolfswinkel8906 These would 'work' in a sense. But not great or as well as you'd think. Just like how the nazi's did with their rocket propelled planes and their jet engines that vastly outmaneuvered what the Allies has at the time. The costs of these 'wonder weapons' would be staggering and cannot be propped up by the state considering Russia is being sanctioned and is hurting for money at the moment. At best, 20% of the capability shown is true. Still devastating though.
@@ChaiSuBin that's a dangerous wager. The V1 and V2 worked ok, but they came too late in the war to affect the outcome. However these are nukes we're talking about here, with potential for devastation on several orders of magnitude higher than the TNT/RDX warheads on the Vergerltungswaffen Zwei. I wish you could test it out in outer space where the rest of the world just trying to get by would be safe from the repercussions of your misadventure.
Also interesting is Timing of those Programs getting pushed and others getting axed, relative to Events on the Eastern Front and European Continental Theaters. "Abandon Everything; develop (Strategic) Superweapons" is a sign of Desperation in a Conflict, which is inconsistent with the European and Russian Dispositions displayed.
Fun fact there is also a US design for a similar concept called the Supersonic Low Altitude Missile (SLAM) that was meant to be a multitarget cruise missile that would after delivering its final hydrogen bomb begin flying a pattern to irradiate the countryside with its open cycle nuclear ramjet. Its engine was tested before the entire program was canned because of the successful tests of the Minuteman and Titan 2 ICBMs. Not to mention being a flying crime against humanity,but the US military is not opposed to those given its usage of drone strikes in densely built areas.
Dropping a few 300lb bombs on one or two buildings is completely different from nuking 10 cities and then making the country side irradiated so everyone dies and cant be repopulated for a century. Nobody forced the islamic world to bomb civilian targets in the West but drone strikes back are the fruits of that labor.
@Mandalorian actually we built a couple different wepons like it. They were not popular with citizens. Now we got crazy beyond nuclear weapons. Like cobalt bombs.
What is more scary is current US doctrine states that they believe they can win a nuclear war. All other countries know nuclear war is the end of everything
@Mandalorian if the US doesn't have it, it's because they developed something better with all those private contractors. Raytheon,SpaceX,Lockheed,Intel. Why do you think they are even acknowledging thee UFOs. Russia is making terrestrial weapons, meanwhile the US and maybe china are ready with kinetic satellites and hypersonic gravity manipulation drives. The real battle is between US and China, Russia is just trying hard to stay relevant

Yes they have it. It is intended for the Midwestern states of USA (Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Texas etc) in order to turn them from farmlands into wastelands. Thus the survivors of the big cities will have nowhere to fall back to and they will starve. This new Russian dogma was announced on 2018.
I was a kid during the Cuban crisis; we did "duck and cover" drills at school, yet it wasn't quite as "real" to me then. As an adult, (who worked in aerospace,) I am freakin' scared! 😳 Not 'dig a shelter in my backyard' scared, but... Not sure if it's due to my heightened awareness of the lethality of nuclear weapons, or if it's the seemingly unpredictable nature of Putin. 🤔 ✌️
A cobalt bomb would theoretically render the affected area completely uninhabitable for _THOUSANDS_ of years. Conventional nukes have a relatively short fatal irradiation period, and that area is basically at ground zero of the explosion itself so the more immediate concern would be being literally vaporized by the heat. Cobalt bombs are literal doomsday weapons.

4:10 this side by side shot shows alot in the capitol city philosophies of the US and USSR/Russia. DC is a mostly normal city used as a political center, moscow is a political complex used as a city. it's an expansive megacity for 100km in each direction from the Kremlin. 10 million people, an entire self-contained country with it's own dialect, subculture and economy. DC has this to some extent, but Moscow is really something else.
It's almost 15mil here by recent estimations, actually. And yes, it does give off the vibes of an entirely separate country - going on a city break elsewhere feels like going abroad.
That's because Russian elite cares only about Moscow. Why devevlop rural areas when they can pimp up their own city? For that reason the only two places in Russia that aren't a shithole are Moscow and St. Petersburg.

they are fast but can be relatively reliably tracked, the new weapons as I understand have more erratic and unpredictable paths leading to its target, thus making it much, much harder to intercept these (even though it is already quite the feat due to their extreme speed and multiple payload setup).
New ICBMs are not living the athmosphere and speeds are much smaller in consequence 6mach vs 25mach diffrence is that new icbms are maneuvrable dont have eliptic trajectoryes so point of interception cant be calculated,hence defence roket systems become obsolete ....dreaming and hoping on laser defence soon

The South Pole idea for Sarmat would still be a ballistic (Great Circle) trajectory. There is no *meaningful* amount of dodging of ground assets; The dodging ("Mid-flight maneuvers") involved with the Sarmat would be on the order of a few tens of meters per second, not the thousand-times-greater impulse you would need to make significant turns in the manner depicted, and it would be for the purpose of avoiding interceptors that are on a fixed ballistic trajectory. Interceptors have inherent issues in retargetability versus timely boost - they work best when they blow nearly all their fuel load in the first few tens of seconds.

There is another key reason for the loss of Russian engineers. Many of them were Jews. And as soon as the iron curtain was lifted, once the USSR collapsed, many of them made Aliyah (lit. elevation. Jewish immegration to the Land of Israel is considered as spiritual elevation). In Israel, many of them integrated in the Israeli weapon industry or in universities.
There is no such nuclear weapon with this capability. To move such a volume of water would require the same amount of energy as around 10,000 nuclear bombs. This is not possible

I've never seen someone miss the point of a video so spectacularly. The video is about Mutual Assured Destruction and "doomsday weapons". Russia knows very well that it will also be destroyed if it uses these things, as will everyone else. That's why they're used as a deterrent.

Heres a thing, stimatul "expert", Ukraine is Russia neighbor and a former part of Russia (divided from it by communists) and basically one nation by blood and language (like Romanian and Moldova being a good example) , the goal of military operation is not to kill millions of ukranians in process but to prevent them being colonized by USA and NATO and to end the 8 year genocide of eastern ukranians by regim fascist, and to end the fascist regime in general.
UK and US are defiant of all these russian doomsday weapons because they know that it is an overkill. If nuclear war starts it doesnt matter anyway.

I think you made a glaring mistake about Poseidon power. You stated 2KT. Nukes dropped to Japan were about 20KT. The actual power of Poseidon would be anywhere between 50-100MT. That's 1000 times more powerful then Hiroshima nuke. Russians demonstrated with Tzar Bomba they can scale that as it was about 50MT. I can't see why Poseidon can't be 100MT. It needs power to create a huge wave.
It could easily be 200 megatons. Have you seen the size of the warhead? Its enormous. The Tsar Bomba was made in late 1950's/1960 and detonated in 1961. They halved the yield by using a lead shield. The Tsar Bomba was 100 megatons reduced to half to reduce or nullify any fallout. The warhead is similar in size to the Tsar bomba except its another 60 years worth of technology, where you can fit larger and larger yields inside of smaller and smaller warheads. The yield also begins to increase the larger the warhead, so, example, a imagine a 500kg nuclear warhead that was for simplicities sake, 500 kilotons, and then you had the same design, 1000kg nuclear warhead with double the warhead size, it would be more powerful than 1 megaton, and that continues to scale better and better the larger you go. If they could make a 100 megaton warhead in 1961 I see no reason why this gigantic warhead with all their technology that they have now wouldn't approach 200 megatons.

I also wonder how handicapped some of these projects might be due to corruption. If the strategic forces have anywhere near the same corruption as the conventional forces, then a lot of this stuff will probably be a pipe dream for decades
the problem is less of if they have these weapons, and more of how evil and aggressive their government is. theyve shown that while their industry and technology isnt very good, they arent all talk, and are in fact willing to use what little they have to the absolute maximum. they may not have these weapons right now, but their technology is going to progress one way or another and the day will come when they make a weapon capable of killing millions of people. at that point it doesnt matter if its antiquated or crude, what matters is how we defend from it.
I think for Russia, especially after they failed the first part of the invssion spectacularly, it has become even more clear than before that all they have that separates them from mediocrity is nuclear weapons. They have a plethora of 40 year old Soviet equipment and the GDP of a country like Spain. The only way they remain even remotely close to the status they desire is by waving the nuclear sabre.

I'm sorry but after seeing what a horrible condition the Russian military is in as a result of the Ukraine war. I don't see how anyone can take the Russian wonder weapons boasts seriously.
Guess the US doesn’t have any nuclear weapons either because they were humiliated in Afghanistan by a bunch of extremists without international support
@@zacksulics8021 their cruise missiles work just fine.. funny fact: when russia was broke in the 90's the US was paying the salary's of all of russia's rocket/missile engineers so they did not go work for countries that wanted nukes.. so they were designing weapons they now have in their arsenal with american tax dollars :)
Why Russіa's developing nucleаr forces? In my opinion, the answer is clear. Russіa is a country with total gdp smaller than Italian or Canadian ones, with pооrer standarts of life than in Poland or Romania (as it was before the wаr, now it's much wоrse). So, the only reason why someone should consider Russia as a strong power is nucleаr arsenal, nothing more. Another question - is why Russіan people want to be thought "great" instead of "wealthy and successful". The answer is also pretty clear. The vast mojority of Russians have the inferіority cоmplex as the result of the USSR cоllapse. Decоlоnisation has happened in the UK, France, Belgium, but omitted cоmmunist Russіa. Therefore Russians still have 19th century imperіalistic mіndset, which is affected by the humіliаtion of the old empire collapse (both Russіan mоnarchy and cоmmunist regіme)
In Russia we had good life standart. You never was in Russia. The SMO in Ukraine dont change it. Russians want to be great because we know what is the war. In WW2 Germans killed more then 15 millions of civilians in USSR.
Thanks for the excellent report, I myself am from Russia, and I partly understand why the Russians are put in a bad light in the comments, but I don’t understand why they don’t mention American operations in the same way, in which people died in the same way, I am completely against the war, but also I am against the trend of hatred towards a certain people, and now the Russians are such a people, why do people who blame Russia for all the troubles themselves develop the ideas of chauvinism? I am extremely sorry for Ukraine, but I also feel sorry for Libya and Iraq, where now there is complete poverty after the invasion of NATO countries, why people do not have an adequate position, I have never treated badly and will not treat ordinary people, I always turn all my anger to politicians of certain countries. Sorry for my bad english.
Как ты прав… В России закрытые сми, так же как и на Западе, где выводились десятилетиями антироссийские настроения. Везде русские были злыми и агрессорами. А сейчас они верят в то, что им говорят как дети, не разобравшись в вопросе. Когда нибудь Путина не станет и мы станем вновь друзьями, но перестанут ли лить на Россию дерьмо, ведь после распада СССР и времени где Россия полностью открылась - не перестали))) How right you are… In Russia, closed media, as well as in the West, where anti-Russian sentiments have been displayed for decades. Everywhere Russians were evil and aggressors. And now they believe in what they are told as children, without understanding the issue. Someday Putin will be gone and we will become friends again, but will they stop pouring shit on Russia, because after the collapse of the USSR and the time where Russia fully opened - they did not stop)))

What Russia fails to realize is detonating that warhead and making a radioactive tsunami would also cause that same wave to wash across Europe, including Kaliningrad and possibly even St. Petersburg. That move would be akin to suicide.

Anyone that even remotely thinks the Russian Federation is going to completely irradiate the British isles for the next 25,000 years is so geopolitically naïve as not to even bother considering their opinion. Even if Putin so ordered such an action, the Soloviki that were featured in a recent episode of this channel would Very quickly decide that Putin very badly needed a rest. Soviet nuclear and now Russian nuclear policy has Always regarded use of either tactical or strategic nuclear weapons as weapons of last resort. I see nothing that has changed.
Furthermore none of us have even the slightest idea of the classified countermeasures the DOD has really developed nevermind deployed. I've watched for decades now as the SDI program conducted test after test. Supposedly with "disappointing" results. None of which l believed for a second.
The problem is that Anglo-Amercians think that they can win the nuclear war due to their delusion of grandiosity.
Absolutely, if Russia did use this on, let’s say, the British Isles. It would sign their own death warrant.
A large international coalition would almost certainly be formed, most certainly larger than for Afghanistan, led by America, in response to nuclear attack one of it’s closest ally.
At that point, the Russian government will become a pariah that no one can save.

If Russia is trying to link potential defeat in Ukraine / Crimea with the use of a nuclear deterrent, it's escalating to a nuclear conflict. Russia could not use such weapons without an assured nuclear response.
NATO is not at war with Russia, any military attack on NATO would result in a military response.

Probably by using logic & facts comrade.
if russia nukes ukraine nato is not going to nuke russia, nato is willing to help ukraine but they are not going to destroy the human race for it

8:28 According to Wikipedia (sources listed there, as usual), its range is 18.000km. The technique used is called Fractional Orbital Bombardment System, which, basically instead of lobbing it up to come down at a specific target area through pure ballistics (in other words, what the V2 already did in WW2), it also includes a course correction once in space so it stays in a low earth orbit, just to shoot a retrograde burst once the destination is reached. And by entering a LEO, it's not suborbital anymore by definition. So basically it's got a flight profile just like a space shuttle with the only difference that it doesn't land safely, but goes boom-boom instead. With that, they could circumvent the NORAD defensive launch detection systems by just launching them in a southerly direction instead of taking a more direct route, but it won't go inbetween the continents like a snake as shown in the video, even though it would probably pass the south pole or at least get close to it. In case it would be suborbital, they'd do it with the "hypersonic" glide vehicle (everything that comes back from space is hypersonic, so it's just a nice buzzword here) and bounce off of the atmosphere several times. Eugen Sänger had that concept already in WW2 with the "Silbervogel", also known as antipodal bomber, with the thing even coming back for a landing after dropping stuff on the other side of the planet. In a nutshell, there's nothing groundbreakingly new here at all.
A lot of people don't trust Wikipedia...
Lot to read here but thank you for taking the time

@@leandersearle5094 Alot of people don't trust people replying to youtube comments...
I wonder if the Americans can figure it out. Lol.
badly need to go to bed but new caspian report just dropped
True
This piece was okay but I think you're missing some of the bigger picture here:
The US and the west have had the capability to develop a missile defense system that would basically negate the entire Russian arsenal's effectiveness since the late 80's. We have a limited amount of these missiles in the ground in a base in Alaska, but we purposefully keep the number low, as you correctly point out, to not tip Russia over the edge. We also use it as a bargaining chip.
The missile defense systems in poland and germany were never intended to be used against ICBM's because they are not along the path an ICBM would follow to get to the US. ICBM's would fly over the north pole and through Canada to attack which is the shortest distance. Not over the atlantic. Russia knows this lol. Patriot systems are primarily anti air defense systems that can also take out things like cruise missiles, which can be nuclear tipped. These are considered tactical nuclear weapons though and pose much less threat overall.
Russia has had the capability to blow up the entire united states and western europe to kingdom come since the 70's, and we've had the ability to take them with us since then too. Neither side has consciously chosen to negate that edge so as to avoid provoking the other, hence the tense negotiations you describe. Nuclear drone torpedoes provide very little advantage in this measure, because after all, if russia wants to send the united kingdom into a nuclear winter, it doesn't need some scary new drone torpedo to do so. It already posesses the weapons it needs to achieve this goal.
All three of these new projects are basically just purely propaganda designed to scare the west and impress people (like you, Caspian report) into falling for it hook line and sinker convincing everyone else that russia is still some relevant and scary power. They're not. Western analysts have been skeptical that poseidon is something Russia will ever be capable of achieving, and now with the onslaught of western sanctions and the general difficulty with obtaining advanced electronics, it's almost certain to set any progress they were making back decades.
The west doesn't take russia seriously with these measures because they recognize them for what they are: pure propaganda. And you're just amplifying it.
Good man for putting them in the picture......thats surely one of the best answers ive seen on youtube comments.....keep up the good work !

At best, 20% of the capability shown is true. Still devastating though.
Yeaa just like all these wunderwaffen Ukraine is receiving. nothing works. Javelins pure garbage.
@@ChaiSuBin that's a dangerous wager. The V1 and V2 worked ok, but they came too late in the war to affect the outcome. However these are nukes we're talking about here, with potential for devastation on several orders of magnitude higher than the TNT/RDX warheads on the Vergerltungswaffen Zwei. I wish you could test it out in outer space where the rest of the world just trying to get by would be safe from the repercussions of your misadventure.
Also interesting is Timing of those Programs getting pushed and others getting axed, relative to Events on the Eastern Front and European Continental Theaters. "Abandon Everything; develop (Strategic) Superweapons" is a sign of Desperation in a Conflict, which is inconsistent with the European and Russian Dispositions displayed.
Fun fact there is also a US design for a similar concept called the Supersonic Low Altitude Missile (SLAM) that was meant to be a multitarget cruise missile that would after delivering its final hydrogen bomb begin flying a pattern to irradiate the countryside with its open cycle nuclear ramjet.
Its engine was tested before the entire program was canned because of the successful tests of the Minuteman and Titan 2 ICBMs. Not to mention being a flying crime against humanity,but the US military is not opposed to those given its usage of drone strikes in densely built areas.
Dropping a few 300lb bombs on one or two buildings is completely different from nuking 10 cities and then making the country side irradiated so everyone dies and cant be repopulated for a century. Nobody forced the islamic world to bomb civilian targets in the West but drone strikes back are the fruits of that labor.
Project Pluto.
@Mandalorian actually we built a couple different wepons like it. They were not popular with citizens. Now we got crazy beyond nuclear weapons. Like cobalt bombs.
What is more scary is current US doctrine states that they believe they can win a nuclear war. All other countries know nuclear war is the end of everything
@Mandalorian if the US doesn't have it, it's because they developed something better with all those private contractors. Raytheon,SpaceX,Lockheed,Intel. Why do you think they are even acknowledging thee UFOs. Russia is making terrestrial weapons, meanwhile the US and maybe china are ready with kinetic satellites and hypersonic gravity manipulation drives. The real battle is between US and China, Russia is just trying hard to stay relevant

The flying Chernobyl has to be the most badass nickname for a nuclear ballistic missile meant to be fired from submarines
Honestly: The new Russian superweapons are interesting in concept but significantly less terrifying than the thousands of ICBMs they already have.
The Poseidon drone is terrifying. Most because it’s a drone that can be hacked by some random person somewhere.
Except the sub is a cobalt bomb that launches a radioactive wave twice as high as the New York skyline so there’s that 🤐
A cobalt bomb would theoretically render the affected area completely uninhabitable for _THOUSANDS_ of years. Conventional nukes have a relatively short fatal irradiation period, and that area is basically at ground zero of the explosion itself so the more immediate concern would be being literally vaporized by the heat.
Cobalt bombs are literal doomsday weapons.

The old ICBMs from 60 years ago can blow up any city , so how do you improve on that?
All ICBMs are hypersonic,they go to orbit at 5000 MPH and increase ti 17,000 MPH once in orbit.
Agreed. I kinda wish they would bring back the Pershing P2.
Russians use scary sounding words to scare technologically illiterate westerners, another reason why the west needs to improve general education.
they are fast but can be relatively reliably tracked, the new weapons as I understand have more erratic and unpredictable paths leading to its target, thus making it much, much harder to intercept these (even though it is already quite the feat due to their extreme speed and multiple payload setup).
New ICBMs are not living the athmosphere and speeds are much smaller in consequence 6mach vs 25mach diffrence is that new icbms are maneuvrable dont have eliptic trajectoryes so point of interception cant be calculated,hence defence roket systems become obsolete ....dreaming and hoping on laser defence soon

It's factual information that the UK & US have undisclosed technologies that will out match Russia in every single way.
You westerners over estimate yourselves.
the problem is they only need 1 to work, not 100000. if they can develop 1 that can hit a city center and take out over a million people, thats enough. like the IRA said to thatcher, they only had to be lucky once---she had to be lucky every time.

xD
The South Pole idea for Sarmat would still be a ballistic (Great Circle) trajectory. There is no *meaningful* amount of dodging of ground assets; The dodging ("Mid-flight maneuvers") involved with the Sarmat would be on the order of a few tens of meters per second, not the thousand-times-greater impulse you would need to make significant turns in the manner depicted, and it would be for the purpose of avoiding interceptors that are on a fixed ballistic trajectory. Interceptors have inherent issues in retargetability versus timely boost - they work best when they blow nearly all their fuel load in the first few tens of seconds.
Ballistic trajectory is an arc, not zig zag through South pole.
The last time a major power did some so-called "Wonder Weapon", it really didnt go as planned.

There is another key reason for the loss of Russian engineers. Many of them were Jews. And as soon as the iron curtain was lifted, once the USSR collapsed, many of them made Aliyah (lit. elevation. Jewish immegration to the Land of Israel is considered as spiritual elevation).
In Israel, many of them integrated in the Israeli weapon industry or in universities.
"Many of them were Jews"
This is not an obvious lie.
It is enough to go look at Wikipedia and read the names.
There is no such nuclear weapon with this capability. To move such a volume of water would require the same amount of energy as around 10,000 nuclear bombs. This is not possible
Maybe an H-bomb could do that.

I've never seen someone miss the point of a video so spectacularly. The video is about Mutual Assured Destruction and "doomsday weapons". Russia knows very well that it will also be destroyed if it uses these things, as will everyone else. That's why they're used as a deterrent.

Priveste mai mult CNN si propaganda Americana. SUA au fost in Iraq de peste 7 ani, cu metodele barbarice de carpet bombing, 1.5 milion people murdered in proces and in the end retreated. Compare Iraq cu Ukraine, one with 60's era weaponry and other being biggest military in Europe. 7 years and 3 months. If Russia to use the same barbaric methods of carpet bombing of cities, targeting of vital infrastructure like power plants as USA did in Iraq, Ukraine would be done in under a month. Heres a thing, stimatul "expert", Ukraine is Russia neighbor and a former part of Russia (divided from it by communists) and basically one nation by blood and language (like Romanian and Moldova being a good example) , the goal of military operation is not to kill millions of ukranians in process but to prevent them being colonized by USA and NATO and to end the 8 year genocide of eastern ukranians by regim fascist, and to end the fascist regime in general.
A weak nuclear power country is more dangerous than strong since it has less to lose ,absolutely agreed
UK and US are defiant of all these russian doomsday weapons because they know that it is an overkill. If nuclear war starts it doesnt matter anyway. Russia will never use them it is just a boogie story for a late night scare. The US and UK will continue to squize Russia always and Russia will never do anything because they can't.

I think you made a glaring mistake about Poseidon power.
You stated 2KT.
Nukes dropped to Japan were about 20KT.
The actual power of Poseidon would be anywhere between 50-100MT.
That's 1000 times more powerful then Hiroshima nuke.
Russians demonstrated with Tzar Bomba they can scale that as it was about 50MT.
I can't see why Poseidon can't be 100MT.
It needs power to create a huge wave.
It could easily be 200 megatons. Have you seen the size of the warhead? Its enormous. The Tsar Bomba was made in late 1950's/1960 and detonated in 1961. They halved the yield by using a lead shield. The Tsar Bomba was 100 megatons reduced to half to reduce or nullify any fallout. The warhead is similar in size to the Tsar bomba except its another 60 years worth of technology, where you can fit larger and larger yields inside of smaller and smaller warheads. The yield also begins to increase the larger the warhead, so, example, a imagine a 500kg nuclear warhead that was for simplicities sake, 500 kilotons, and then you had the same design, 1000kg nuclear warhead with double the warhead size, it would be more powerful than 1 megaton, and that continues to scale better and better the larger you go. If they could make a 100 megaton warhead in 1961 I see no reason why this gigantic warhead with all their technology that they have now wouldn't approach 200 megatons.
Is anyone concerned about that The USA and NATO are very quiet on hypersonic weapons and the like. No panic no wild responses there is something they know or have that we are not aware of…..

I also wonder how handicapped some of these projects might be due to corruption. If the strategic forces have anywhere near the same corruption as the conventional forces, then a lot of this stuff will probably be a pipe dream for decades
the problem is less of if they have these weapons, and more of how evil and aggressive their government is. theyve shown that while their industry and technology isnt very good, they arent all talk, and are in fact willing to use what little they have to the absolute maximum. they may not have these weapons right now, but their technology is going to progress one way or another and the day will come when they make a weapon capable of killing millions of people. at that point it doesnt matter if its antiquated or crude, what matters is how we defend from it.
That analogy at the end made my brain tingle a little. Great video as always btw👌
I think for Russia, especially after they failed the first part of the invssion spectacularly, it has become even more clear than before that all they have that separates them from mediocrity is nuclear weapons. They have a plethora of 40 year old Soviet equipment and the GDP of a country like Spain. The only way they remain even remotely close to the status they desire is by waving the nuclear sabre. Their conventional capability isn't close to that of the West; especially a more unified West.

Why Russіa's developing nucleаr forces?
In my opinion, the answer is clear. Russіa is a country with total gdp smaller than Italian or Canadian ones, with pооrer standarts of life than in Poland or Romania (as it was before the wаr, now it's much wоrse).
So, the only reason why someone should consider Russia as a strong power is nucleаr arsenal, nothing more.
Another question - is why Russіan people want to be thought "great" instead of "wealthy and successful". The answer is also pretty clear. The vast mojority of Russians have the inferіority cоmplex as the result of the USSR cоllapse. Decоlоnisation has happened in the UK, France, Belgium, but omitted cоmmunist Russіa. Therefore Russians still have 19th century imperіalistic mіndset, which is affected by the humіliаtion of the old empire collapse (both Russіan mоnarchy and cоmmunist regіme)
In Russia we had good life standart. You never was in Russia. The SMO in Ukraine dont change it. Russians want to be great because we know what is the war. In WW2 Germans killed more then 15 millions of civilians in USSR.
