How much preposition heavy equipment is there in Europe?
Would units like 1cav, 1 infantry and 4 infantry have to ship most of their armor with them
We have prepositioned heavy equipment in several key locations throughout Europe and at sea for this specific instance.
buddy of mine in the army was set to get moved to Ft. Hood after graduating from Lt. Col school... he's now getting reassigned and will likely be heading to Europe to fight those drunk ruskies.


Tell him we're all behind him and appreciate the hell out of him!

Someone asked about drones earlier. No confirmation so take it with a grain of salt.

I am constantly dumbfounded how many Russkie choppers are just flying around near populated cities.. and not a single RPG is fired.

Much less javelins or stingers.

We are talking about technology from 1964 here!!

why in the @#$#@ didn't the Ukes pass out 3,000 RPGs all around the country?
This. I don't get this either.
It's like the Ukrainians didn't prepare at all.

I also see columns and columns of tanks going down the freeway.
No IEDs?
No mines?
What about using explosive rigged cars on the sidewalk?
Blocking roads using heavy equipment?

WTF

Pending some confirmation right now, but Twitter chatter is mentioning sights of TOPOL-M's moving around in western Russia.

Moving Nukes around probably should be a sign that maybe we need to think some things over.

So much WTF here. If they can travel 5,000 km, why do they need to move them? Can't they just hit targets from where they are stationed? Also, do ICBM's normally travel on freeways? Could the local news be like, "An ICBM is blocking the right lane of the M5, traffic is slow due to rubberneckers"? And how do we know those are ICBM's?

No, tactical nukes would be much more believable in this situation.

I'm with Nitro.

Any use of a nuclear weapon - "tactical" or otherwise - means we're all going to end up looking like the burnt hot dog that no one wants to eat on the 4th of July.

The Topol-M is a road mobile ICBM. They do not sit around and just collect dust. The Russians move them around on a regular basis in order to make it harder to target them.

Also, they do not need to move the Topol-M anywhere in order to use it. The missile has enough range to hit anywhere they want, from where ever it is currently parked.

Lastly, they would not be using a ICBM against Ukraine. They would use an aircraft delivered bomb or a nuclear armed cruise missile of which they have multiple different types.

There has long been doctrine on limited nuclear warfare.

Let's put some things in perspective

"Fat Man" was dropped on Nagasaki had a blast yield of 21 kT...the TOPOL-M carries a nuclear warhead that is 500 kT

I don't think I need to explain further why I am 100% certain there will be no nuclear weapons used

And like one cop car as the forward escort?

A Ukraineian commuting home in Moscow could drive his truck right into the ICBM vehicle and create a bit of a mess I would assume

Which no one at all expected to remain limited. Once someone pops off a nuke, the end result will be a lot of keys being turned.

They move them so that they we have to continually adjust our targeting of them. It forces us to expend time to find them. Stationary targets would be easier to hit.

Ivan has ICBMs with 20 megatons warheads. Others carry three to five, 5 megaton warheads.
