Going back to when i served our tactics were to target vehicles with either one or multiple radio antennas as only commanders had radios and the rest just followed.
Seems like not much has changed.

Other than the internet and drones, not much has really changed at all since Red Storm Rising!

Because there’s no way to launch a nuclear first strike that can’t be seen coming, and the intervening time is used to launch the retaliatory annihilation.

This has been the basis of nuclear arms strategy for like 60 years now. It’s not news.

Don’t even bother. They said they were voting Tory instead of Labour because Labour failed to stop the Tories breaking the law. That kind of tells you all you need to know really.

What makes you think putin would retaliate or even be able too?

Because it's not based on one man. If we nuke him personally they have submarines who will be ordered to strike back immediately. Its not a case of "kill Putin and kill Russia". And launch sites everywhere. Also it's unlikely we could take out every land based nuke site, that's just the ones we know of.

Furthermore, if they detect a launch or multiple launches as would be the case under your plan, they will respond in kind before anything hits them, ensuring both sides are wiped out

I think you should read some of my posts on this thread if you think that.

Or, like, if you can think at all. Which doesn’t seem to be a given.

So what are you hoping for? Russia to back down? Surrender?

Everyone should nuke him. He’s a ball ache always has been.

If their economy picks up then that will be good for Russia.



Ah, rubble not rouble.

This is a total aside, but I’ve never understood why people spell it “rouble” in English. There’s only one vowel in рубль (the y-looking character) and it’s pronounced as a long u in English. “Ruble” or even “Rooble” would be much more accurate.

Ha’way man, this has been a good political thread for once. Stop the daft trolling, no need for it man.

Okay mate. I’m sure the people of the Ukraine will sleep well knowing the west are having good political debate. It’s disgraceful the leaders of the free world are watching this unfold.
 
Their vehicle insurance premium is going to be a f***ing nightmare next year.

Putins spent decades spending a fortune getting this stuff and now just some random Ukrainian with a Jerry can is destroying it
