Lol there wont be any sort of cold war style nuclear catharsis! The proliferation of nuclear weapons to shitnations will make it even more unlikely! The model of World War 3 Blitzkrieg is the invasion of Ukraine! The 'pearl harbor' of tomarrowland would be a combination of cyberattacks on infrastructure with uniform-less forces that invaded the target country on tourist visas! And thats the worst case scenario, think of decade upon decade of dirty-war style conflict on a global scale.

The US literally tried to develop a "gay bomb" that would spray turbocharged pheromones everywhere and make the enemy ultra horny. Then we'd go in and kill them while they were busy humping each other and/or any nearby trees. It'd be like Jacob's Ladder, only with butts.

if you have made a bomb that delivers chemical agents to the enemy, why not just, you know, kill them with poison?

imo, putin's gonna continue to putin and russia/nato gonna end up shooting at each other, either in syria or eastern europe. or both! russia will use tac nukes to compensate for their inferior military and once any nukes of any kind start flying then that's pretty much ballgame

The scariest part of any of the recent scenarios, at least those declassified, is that Putin is counting on the West's fear of escalating to nuclear weapons. He's hoping that he can storm into the Baltics before NATO can deploy a sizable counterforce then basically sue for peace and everyone tip-toes around it, a bit like what happened in Georgia and Ukraine.

how many nukes does Russia even have left? i bet we could do a decapitation first strike on them now, they are no where near their old soviet levels

does russia still have the most powerful single nuke weapons (in terms of megaton)? i thought i remembered seeing one of those simulation things and russia had a nuke that had a much larger blast radius and fallout zone than any other country.

I believe about 6,000 warheads. Their launch systems are smaller, so they could realistically pull off maybe 1000 of them, divided among subs, bombers (both Tu-95 props and Tu-121 swingwing supersonic planes, plus Su-24 for tactical nukes), silos, and mobile launchers. I'm on my phone right now so I can't give solid numbers. The thing is that the Russian nuclear forces have been the only part of the army that's been steadily maintained.

Tsar Bomba? That was a one-of, built as a tech demo and a dick waving at the US. The major issue was its weight and size. It was too heavy and big to fit in a bomber, let alone an ICBM, and had to be slung beneath or behind it. It would be a devastating weapon, but would also be easily intercepted and they could build a bomber or sub that has the same total yield and still cause enough damage in case of early interception.

If they are double the size of normal bullets, they won't fit in the gun. How dumb can you get?

The bullets expand after leaving the gun, obviously.

Scientists have speculated that by combining the ultra prefix twice could create ultra-ultra-bullets which will expand continuously after firing, until they take up the whole screen. :wth:

ah yup that was definitely the name of it but the simulator didnt mention all those limitations

Okay, back home, this is Russia's nuclear arsenal and delivery systems as of 2016.

Total warheads are about 7,300 warheads and physics packages, usable or not.

Russia's ground based forces are 299 ground-based launchers, with 146 silo-based and 153 on mobile launchers, and a total of 902 warheads among them. The Russian navy maintains 13 ballistic nuclear submarines, with a total of 512 warheads among them. The Russian aviation wings have 93 Tu-22M Backfire bombers (10 warheads per plane), another 68 Tu-22M used by Naval Aviation as maritime strike bombers for use against naval targets (3 warheads per plane), 11 combat-ready Tu-160 Blackjack (12 nuclear cruise missiles per plane), and 55 combat-ready Tu-95 Bear-H bombers (can carry up to 16 nuclear cruise missiles), giving strategic bombers about 2,146 nuclear-tipped bombs and cruise missiles. That's about 3500 warheads that be used realistically in an engagement. And this isn't including the smaller aircraft, like the Su-24 or the Su-27, that can carry tac nukes or the reserves like the 10 Tu-22 that are sequestered in warehouses and bunker hangers. Half to thee-quarters of those warheads would be lost in an American first strike (ideally, most of the aircraft will be destroyed before taking off or intercepted in route), leaving the mobile launchers and subs to lie in wait for retaliation orders.

Since I'm spouting off numbers, for comparison, the Soviets had to modify a Tu-95 bomber, which has a payload capacity of 15 tons, to carry the Tsar Bomba, which weight 27 tons. They also had to lower the yield of the Tsar Bomba test, because it was capable of 100 Megatons but, at that yield, it that would also produce about as much fallout as all nuclear tests at that point, plus the fallout would have hit mainland Russia and likely destroy the bomber delivering it.
