Russia will use a Poseidon underwater missile to wipe Britain off the map with a 1,000ft-high radioactive tsunami if NATO troops put boots on the ground in Ukraine, Putin's propagandists claim
2023-03-15
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Now, about those east coast issues...
  • Yevgeny Buzhinsky called for attacks on UK with Poseidon underwater missile

  • He said Britain 'will definitely not exist' if Russia unleashed the nuclear weapon

#14  IR satellites staring at the entire earth and sensitive enough to detect and track the IR plume of anti-aircraft missile launches and locate the launch point

And more sensitive than that and a lot smarter. Combine that with the radars on the ground that can pretty much see all of the norther hemisphere, nothing can get off the ground larger than a jet that isn't tracked and detected.

#13  They can track pieces of satellites that broke up.

Not to mention IR satellites staring at the entire earth and sensitive enough to detect and track the IR plume of anti-aircraft missile launches and locate the launch point.

#12  And wipe out the entire progeny of the Russian ruling class? No way.

#11  ^ As they should. Bidet would never allow any response to any attack.

#10  Mutual Assured Destruction is still in play. There will be no Russia afterward.

Russia sees this as a Sampson in the Temple move.

#8  One difference between America and Russia is that we don't have ex-generals running around saying crazy shit which immediately gets picked up by the media which was already full of crazy shit from yesterday.

#7  Let me ask this, do we have any generals/admirals who DON'T lie to Congress?

Any? Name one?

#5  US can detect a Russian ICBM launch but cannot track it in real time

As someone that has worked for the DoD in that exact field, I can tell you that is utter bullshit. They can track pieces of satellites that broke up. A warhead is easy.

#4  /\ Unsmart comment, accurate or not.

#3  Stupid move by Congress subcommittee where Space Force Commander claims on CSPAN that the US can detect a Russian ICBM launch but cannot track it in real time.

#1  Mutual Assured Destruction is still in play. There will be no Russia afterward. The Russians/Soviets were intelligent enough to understand that.
