Russia has enough means: can it really put nuclear weapons into space?

In the United States the other day they were talking about a threat to US national security. After all, Russia allegedly intends to launch nuclear weapons into space.

About this 24 Channel said Sergei Bezkrestnov, a Ukrainian Armed Forces serviceman and radio technology expert, noting that Russia actually has enough ballistic missiles to carry out a nuclear strike. We are talking about both tactical and strategic levels.

Can Russia use nuclear weapons

As Bezkrestnov noted, it is doubtful that Russia will go so far as to launch a nuclear strike on any territory on Earth. After all, this will actually mean the beginning of a nuclear war. It is unlikely that the occupiers would ever also use tactical nuclear weapons on the front line.

However, it is indisputable that they can “turn on” their blackmail. And detonating a nuclear weapon at a high enough altitude is a rather specific idea. But it is fraught with unpleasant consequences.

With a nuclear explosion at a sufficiently significant altitude, there will be no factor in contaminating the environment with radiation. There will also be no shock wave. But all this can completely damage the electronics. Everyone from school remembers how an electromagnetic pulse works in nuclear weapons. Such an explosion can damage electronics over a large area. This could demoralize the troops, the military man said.

New threat from Russia: in brief

• The United States has intelligence about a new threat from Russia. We are talking about the Kremlin's intentions to send nuclear weapons into space. But we are not talking about dropping it on Earth, but, most likely, about using it against satellites.
• The scandalous Tucker Carlson, who recently interviewed Putin, has been spreading pro-Russian narratives. He said that Putin could allegedly strike with nuclear weapons for Crimea. fire in Ukraine.” The States refused to consider this issue without our representatives.
