It took 40 years and an invasion of Ukraine to finally convince me how right our briefers were about Soviet equipment and tactics.

Problem with Russia is that they have lost more nukes than we knew they actually had...black market sales, insider tades etc. My fear with Russia is that they will get backed into a corner they think they can't gt out of and will use everything and anything to not lose...including the hot ones. IMHO!

Lt Col Scott Shuttleworth When you leave someone / a country's Leader/ a business Leader / a common person/ group with nothing . Then they have NoThInG to lose.
Let's say you have a Nuke . Your enemies have many Nukes. You have come to the " beyond the point of No return. " you are out of options. Your country's Oligarchs have you measured for Length and Width.
What are you going to do.
A. Be assassinated by the Oligarchs.
B. Be assassinated by drones.
C. Go for Broke.

Lt Col Scott Shuttleworth such persons are almost innately drawn to positions of Power. Politics is the most dirty , and yet the most profitable. Small wonder so many persons seek it out in one form or another. Why control a Business when you can steer a whole country to bend to your Rule. In so doing they get the coffers , the Military, the People, the Domiciles ..... and are noted in History. Whether a footnote , a paragraph, or even a chapter in History, They have achieved world ( in)famous mention.

More like a "Spoon", instead of a "Dagger"
How do you win at the game, change the rules to win. The West is having a field day, with testing their weapons, against Russian weapons that keep being throwing into the game. "Development at it's finest hour."

..."The commander-in-chief of Ukraine's armed forces, Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, said all had been successfully intercepted. Moscow has boasted that the Kinzhals, which are nuclear capable and travel at up to 10 times the speed of sound, are unstoppable.

"This is not the first Russian weapon which has been called unstoppable by the Russians and it has been revealed as pretty much stoppable," said Sergej Sumlenny, founder of the European Resilience Initiative Center, a German think tank.
"This has devastating consequences for the credibility of the Russian army and of Russian technology," he told Newsweek. "Normally an air defense should be oversaturated during these attacks."
"We know now that the Ukrainians, with the help of Western equipment, are capable of fighting back the most severe Russian attack with the most modern Russian weapon the Russians have ever used against Ukraine."
"In the West, the fear of possible nuclear escalation is still very high," said Sumlenny, "but we need to seriously rebalance our weighting of all the risks."

Kyiv's purported success in intercepting the Russian missiles means the possibility of a successful nuclear attack by Russia "should be seen as significantly lower compared to what we believed," added Sumlenny.
Since the start of the war, Russian state television has frequently invoked Russia's nuclear capabilities. President Vladimir Putin has hinted at nuclear escalation and mixed messaging from Moscow, which has denied such weapons would be used, keeps world leaders guessing."...
