> Russia has been preparing for this for a very long time.

We've all seen the "mighty" Russian military at this point and how pathetic it truly is. It's so gutted at this point it's sending old men to the frontlines as cannon fodder for the impending military defeat.

A last ditch effort to scare the world with a nuclear weapon would bring much of the western world into its borders to dismantle whatever military and industrial capability it has left. Any nuclear subs would be hunted by superior Navies to a watery grave.

There would be no WWIII. It would be the end of the Russian empire and all of the Russian oligarchs would carve up the remnants (Prigozhin, Kadyrov, etc).

ps- the oligarchs are likely to do it anyway, but they prefer to get the spoils before the West destroys the infrastructure.

That is a fantasy. Even if we knew exactly where all of the subs were, we could never hope to destroy every single one before any of them fires off its payload.

And why would the crews of these subs willingly go to a watery grave without launching their nukes, especially if they were backed into a corner.

Do you understand that tens of millions of civilians could die if a single submarine fired missile is launched?

urban combat is not working for them. but their rockets are working. just you can't conquer using rockets. you need to go door to door in a prolonged war

russians burned down couple of houses and villages around Belgorod while using S-300 for destroying civilian ground targets in Kharkiv. They have tank companies with some tanks unable to reload or turn the turret. Plenty of recordings from BTRs with jammed turrets/guns. Just a couple of days ago some russian soldier uploaded a video of them shooting rpg-7s without removing shaped charge safety pins. Recruits receiving rusted thru AK47 is a classic.

Consensus is their soviet era weapons are falling apart, and on top of that they dont know how to use them.

... against soft targets, which just add to the list of war crimes. Shoigu et al. will spend the rest of their days behind bars should the West nab them before they fall out of windows.
