Nuclear missile train headed for Ukraine front line

According to reports, the Russian military nuclear missile train has been dispatched to the Ukrainian front line, and the Russian military may detonate a nuclear bomb on the Ukrainian border for a nuclear test. At the same time, the Italian media has stated that the Russian nuclear submarine Belgorod has also been dispatched, and the entire NATO is very nervous.

At the same time, the British media said that the nuclear missile train dispatched by the Russian army is in the 12th General Administration of the Russian Ministry of Defense, and the Russian army is preparing for a "major escalation" of the conflict in Ukraine. Although, the Russian side expressed that it does not want to participate in the "nuclear rhetoric" spread by the West.

However, the Russian nuclear missile train is indeed extremely powerful. In the 1980s, the Soviet Union had already installed the RT-23 train-equipped intercontinental nuclear missile, which the West called the railway mobile version of the SS-24 "scalpel" intercontinental ballistic missile.

This nuclear missile has 10 sub-warheads, the explosive power is 350-550,000 tons, and the range is 11,000 kilometers. A train can install 3 ICBMs, as well as a power supply car, a guard car, a support car, three missile transport vehicles and a commander. car and so on.

The biggest advantage of railway mobile missiles is fast maneuvering speed and strong survivability. The biggest advantage of the railway mobile launch is that it can move quickly, and it can transfer thousands of kilometers at a time, so that it can be "hit and run", which is easy to get rid of the enemy's tracking.

Moreover, the missile train has a stronger carrying capacity and can carry heavier ICBMs. And a missile train is a complete combat unit, and does not require a lot of additional support and support forces. Some Western analysts believe that Russia may conduct a nuclear test in the border area to cut off the West's determination to continue military aid to Ukraine.

And just today, the United States announced another $625 million in military aid to Ukraine, 4 stock Haimas rocket launchers and ammunition, 16 M777 155 howitzers, 200 mine-resistant armored vehicles, 75,000 rounds of 155 artillery shells, 500 rounds of M982 Excalibur accurate Guided shells, 1000 rounds of anti-tank mines.

There are also 16 M119 105 howitzers, 30,000 rounds of 120mm mortar shells, 200,000 rounds of individual ammunition, mainly grenade ammunition, and broadsword anti-infantry mines.

It can be said that as long as there is continuous military and economic assistance from the United States and the West, it will be difficult for the Russian army to completely defeat the Ukrainian army. The first prerequisite for the Russian army to defeat Ukraine is that the United States and the West immediately stop military aid to Ukraine. The American Conservative magazine has said that this winter may turn from severe cold to nuclear explosion.

The US "Capitol Hill" website reported that the former US military commander in Afghanistan and Iraqi commander David Petraeus said: If Russia uses nuclear weapons in Ukraine, then the United States and NATO allies will "kill" Russia sent to Regular military units in Ukraine and Crimea, as well as all Russian warships in the Black Sea.

Just as the United States and Russia are conducting nuclear deterrence against each other, the Russian military is conducting more long-range strikes on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield. The Russian army has continuously launched Iranian-made cruise missile drones to attack targets in Ukraine, and a new round of attacks targeted an air base in the Bezerkovy region of Kyiv.

But in fact, the powerful intercontinental missiles of the Russian army cannot be used in Ukraine. First of all, if the intercontinental missiles are installed with conventional warheads, they will not have much lethality. It is almost impossible to conduct nuclear explosions according to nuclear warheads. Yermakov, director of the Department of Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Arms Control of the Russian Foreign Ministry, has said that Russia fully complies with the statement of the five nuclear-armed countries that no nuclear war can take place.

If a nuclear warhead cannot be used, in fact, the installation of a conventional warhead intercontinental missile does not have much destructive power, it is nothing more than a large bomb with a warhead weight of 1-2 tons. There are many such giant conventional bombs in the Russian strategic bomber force. In Mariupol, many 1-ton and 1.5-ton bombs have been dropped in Donbass.

Therefore, the nuclear missile train is mainly to deter the United States, and there is a high probability that it will not be put into actual combat in Ukraine. Because in the next few months, it is very critical for the Russian army. Before the Russian army's 300,000 mobilized troops have not all been put into the battlefield, the Russian army must stabilize the front line.

Therefore, it is necessary to deter the United States once, and warn the United States not to take advantage of it, not to continue to expand military aid to Ukraine, not to try to establish a no-fly zone, and so on. Buy time for the Russian army on the front line until the main force of the mobilized troops arrives on the battlefield to stabilize the front line
