President Vladimir Putin said Russia has modernized almost its entire strategic nuclear arsenal, reviving atomic rhetoric as he boasted the war in Ukraine has shifted in his favor.
The role of Russia’s air, sea and land nuclear triad in ensuring a balance of power “has increased significantly” amid the “emergence of new military-political risks,” Putin told a Defense Ministry meeting in Moscow on Tuesday. The proportion of modern weaponry in its nuclear forces this year “has been brought to 95% and in the naval component almost 100%,” he said.
In a speech laced with familiar claims that he ordered the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine to counter alleged threats to Russia’s security from the US and its NATO allies, Putin said his forces “have the initiative” on the battlefield.
“We do what we think is necessary, what we want,” he said, adding that Ukraine “is suffering heavy losses and has largely squandered its reserves.”
Wonder if it was “modernized” by the same corrupt system that “modernized” the Russian army by skimming off all the money into private accounts and then slapped to together a bunch of crap that didn’t work.
If so, I would be very scared what would happen if I were Putin and had to push the button.
Hope he’s ready for some good ol’ MAD.
Nearly by how much?
He also says there’s no war…
Its always the part of the russian military he doesn’t have to show in practice thats superduperhypermodern.
Everything sent onto the battlefield on the other hand is somehow from the 70s when the soldiers are lucky.
“Nearly” meaning that all the money has been allocate and stolen, and all the papers forged?
So the only thing missing is the actual impementation, that kind of nearly?
The hell it is.
to 1975s standards?
Considering the cost of maintaining their entire arsenal, I imagine they don’t actually have much to modernize in the first place.
Sure
They blew the dust off them and patched the rust holes?
Since Russia is Bizzaro World, yeahhhhhhhh
>*From Bloomberg News:*
>President Vladimir Putin said .
>“We do what ~~we~~ **I** want,”
As my dick is, no STD’s.
“We can now get our nukes 95% through the launch procedure”
They just have to check if the nuclear warheads are actually full of radioactive material and not just a bunch of old bananas.
With what money and manpower. Putting n is such a lying ass Winnie the Pooh loving ass baby
While I certainly do not believe this, I also think they could have modernized 25 ICBMs, and 25 submarine nukes, and really, that is even more than needed.
So, only about 50 years behind the rest of the world then?
So it means their Nuclear Arsenal is outdated, gotcha
What are the chances that the work was paid for but not done?
Putin says …blah blah blah
The same Putin who claims the three days special military operation is going according to the plan?
I… Don’t believe him?
Congratulations now shove it up your ass
It Will explode, but on the lunch thou
I hope we get to the point when a “fully modernized nuclear arsenal” is one that can’t be detonated, sooner rather than later.
Maybe he’ll blow himself up 👍
And his infantry is almost ready for WWI.
Sure kick the tires let’s go …do it ! Before the end of the year so I don’t have to go back to work ( and I can watch the end of the world on my big screen tv )
AFAIK the US arsenal still uses floppy disks the size of plates to control their world ending dildos. Does he mean modernized to those levels? If so, what were they using before? Punch cards?
What hasn’t been sold to support someone’s drug habit is probably very modern.
Here’s your periodic reminder from Putler, “Hey remember, we’ve got nukes and we *might* use them.”
How much more shit can the loser eat?
Wtf does this even mean? They use USB-C to fire it instead of USB 1???
It would be an interesting development if he actually drops a nuclear weapon in Ukraine. How many hours later would Russia no longer exist? We in Europe would suffer the fallout either way so we’d probably fire everything and the kitchen sink at him.
Putin also said Ukraine is governed by nazis. so what?
Pretty sure he said the same about his army as well!!
For those who don’t speak Russian propaganda, this means it was modern in the 80’s.
Sure it is. Just like the army with 300,000 casualties was prepared to fight a war with NATO. Some of these missile systems dated more than twenty five years. They didn’t need modernized, they needed replaced.
Doubtful. We need to stop jumping to the paper tiger.
Yeah Putin says a lot of things
2 people still have to be crazy enough to turn 2 keys at the same time. All they have to do is ignore the order
It takes a very weak man to hide behind nuclear threats like this.
Putin knows that even test-detonating a nuke would be the last thing he ever does.
