There are reports that Vladimir Putin is preparing to launch a nuclear missile that could hit both the UK and the US. The Yars rocket is currently in a storage facility next to Moscow, waiting for orders to be issued. It is not clear if Putin will order the launch or if diplomacy will prevail.
The threat of nuclear weapons against the West has increased significantly due to Putin's actions. In a video released by Russia's defense ministry, a missile is seen being loaded into a silo. It is believed that Putin is preparing to launch a missile that can reach the UK and the US. This is 12 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
Putin has shown his determination to carry out his threats by preparing a nuclear weapon that would be capable of causing mass destruction. His actions have only added to the tensions between the West and Russia.
The US Sun reported that a special loading unit and transportation facility was placed on a launch pad in Russia, but there was no sign of an imminent launch. This prompted rumors that Putin might be planning on carrying out a nuclear bomb attack. In October, Putin oversaw the launch of a mock attack on the West, which involved the Yars missile that was designed to target the US and the UK.
This development has prompted us to take a closer look at Russia's activities. On December 17, Strategic Missile Forces Day, which is typically associated with nuclear showboating, will take place. Both the UK and the US are within range of any hostile action by Russia.
Newsweek noted that Russia's Yars missile complex could be used to launch a nuclear bomb. The newspaper reported that the facility was capable of launching a nuclear weapon.
The upgraded version of Russia's Topol-M missile is known as the RS-24 Yars. It's capable of reaching a range of up to 12 times greater than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. According to Military Today, this missile can be launched from a site or a garage with a sliding roof. It can also deploy at an unprepared position in less than seven minutes.
A 15-kiloton bomb dropped on Washington, DC, would be devastating. It would yield about 15,000 tons of TNT, the same amount as Hiroshima. The bomb would kill over 120,000 individuals and injure around 190,000.
A Little Boy-sized bomb weighing around 20 tons would be detonated in Manhattan, which would create an airblast radius of around 20 miles. The blast would crush the most densely populated parts of the city, and it would kill around 445,000 individuals.
Take those figures and multiply them by 12.
As the conflict in Ukraine worsens due to Biden's aid and weapons to the government, a report revealed that Russia was secretly preparing to deliver nuclear weapons. One of these is the Yars missile, which can be launched from a silo near Moscow.
This reckless behavior must stop before it spirals out of control. We have witnessed the devastating effects of nuclear war, and Biden should put an end to this madness. Instead of launching these missiles, let us pray for peace.
