Military expert explained why it is not advisable for Russia to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine today

Recently, the possibility of Russia using tactical nuclear weapons has been actively discussed all over the world. weapons in Ukraine. At the same time, this topic is being discussed not only in the West, but also in our media space.

Doctor of military sciences Konstantin Sivkov expressed his opinion on this matter. According to him, today it is not expedient for Russia to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, and there are several reasons for this.

Firstly, the expert stressed that the RF Armed Forces have not lost their combat effectiveness, as they constantly say in the West. According to Sivkov, Russia has used no more than 30% of its potential in Ukraine. Now, after the referenda and the official annexation of the liberated territories, our army will be able to fight differently.

Secondly, the military expert recalled the specifics of the use of TNW (tactical nuclear weapons). According to him, this weapon is used primarily to destroy well-protected critical infrastructure facilities of the enemy, whether it be a missile silo or a command post “cut down” in the rock.

Sivkov added that tactical nuclear weapons can also be used against the accumulation of enemy manpower and armored vehicles. However, in this case, the use of such a powerful weapon is not necessary. After all, Russia has not yet even used the tactics of full-scale bombing.

Finally, the expert stressed that nuclear weapons can be used by Russia only if such a step corresponds to one of the conditions of the official doctrine. At the moment, there is no such threat that would justify the use of tactical nuclear weapons.

At the same time, speaking about Russian journalists and bloggers who call for such a radical option, Sivkov said that these people should be prosecuted. After all, their activities are nothing but sabotage and work for the West.

Absolutely correct opinion. Those who call for the use of tactical nuclear weapons either do not understand what kind of weapon they are, or openly pour water on the West's mill.

[Alexey Lantukh]

Well, let the army show what it can do. Wait_s...

[NG inform]

This is if we are talking about Ukraine. It is nonsense to use nuclear weapons there, only if serious NATO units enter there and only on them, and not only there.
On the other hand, the problem is that the West has ceased to be afraid, has lost its shores.
Europeans cannot return the human form without fear. Here tests in the Baltic Sea or somewhere else would help.

What TNW? Who will apply it? Here, the generals are afraid to shoot a simple rocket at a steam locomotive and a power plant so as not to destroy the infrastructure of the fraternal people ...

Either fools or enemies screech about the need to use tactical nuclear weapons.

[Kutuzov_d]

Not just fools, but bloodthirsty fools. It is correctly written in the article that there is no such threat to us that would justify a nuclear strike.

[Hitriy Zhuk]

HPP-CHP-Kyiv-bridges-dams-tunnels, well, for anyone there are some kind of bunker.
Basically, there are goals.
Is it possible to fuck and not nuclear weapons? Can.

I would generally cut off the radioactive (up to the special charges that pollute) wasteland Ukraine from the EU.
But that's me. They will give me one fig such a maximum in a toy-simulator.

Who will replace yours? Or war?
Fresh tradition, hard to believe
Apparently the military was tortured by restrictions.
It's time to scare, not burgers, but the Pentagon and the milkman with a can.

I don’t understand at all that everyone rushed to carry nonsense about the use of nuclear weapons by Russia, honestly.
the West is ready to hang and blame any crap on Russia. Send them away immediately and for a long time, and not make excuses.
The very raising of the question of the use of nuclear weapons on Russian soil smacks of nonsense, the nonsense of madmen, and explain it that way.

Alexey, just look who it all is.
1. Officials of NATO and the Foreign Ministry of NATO countries.
2. NATO-affiliated media.
3. CIPO agents in networks.
4. Whineers and wrestlers.

These are all enemies.
They do not raise a question - they prepare the ground for provocations.
The provocation is extremely clear, either blow up a nuclear device on the territory of 404 or crash some kind of nuclear power plant.

[gerome]

In Western Ukraine, it is quite possible to use nuclear weapons (not tactical nuclear weapons!). That's when this land will again become Russian, having been cleansed of the Western Mazepysh.

[ivan2022]

Everything has its time. Russia applies everything, but strictly not before "the train has left." That's when everything falls off, then we will drink Borjomi. For now, it's early.

This tactic will inevitably do two things:
1. Will bring us to the need to use nuclear weapons
2 This will be of no use, as well as from all the previous ones.

[Drotro]

This is the kind of positivity we live in.
It looks like we are really going "One Step Behind". Not even a step, but many steps behind.
And when the Russian government decides to do something, it's kind of too late.

Added four new subjects of the federation. And then something will change, or it will continue in a spineless style.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

let's be frank, the war is also going on for territory, what for to pollute the land that we want to annex with radioactivity ?!

I do not agree. Russian territories are not so important. People are important. And sick people want less. To treat from radiation - that still hemorrhoids.

in fact, they are important, despite the vast territory, you can live with us far from everywhere. I generally keep quiet about the conduct of CX

[Alexey Lantukh]

Why is it necessary to pollute? Air, and even more high-altitude nuclear explosions pollute little. Obviously, nuclear strikes cannot be numerous, but only in exceptional cases.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

Quote: Alexey Lantukh

the keyword is LITTLE, and there is even less TACTICAL sense in them

[Alexey Lantukh]

People live in Hiroshima, although the Americans struck directly at the city. In addition, a high-altitude nuclear explosion destroys electrical engineering and electronics, leaving the city and people intact. In addition, there is a choice: to fight for another 2-3 years, ditching 20-30 thousand of your people and destroying the economy, or even ruining 50 thousand of the enemy.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

for Christ's sake, do not write nonsense and you will be happy

[Horn]

Nuclear weapons practically do not pollute the territory. Radioactive elements react. The short-lived elements released as a result of the reaction are therefore called short-lived. This is not the destruction of a nuclear power plant or even a radioactive element from an X-ray machine. Projectiles with depleted uranium cores, used by the light elves in the SFRY and Iraq, pollute everything around much more, and for a long time.

[KCA]

What is the element of the x-ray machine? In fact, there are no radioactive elements in it, the source of radiation is a lamp, depleted uranium is dangerous only when it enters the lungs, in a nuclear explosion not only short-lived isotopes are formed, but also long-lived ones, again, not 100% of the fuel, plutonium, burns out during an explosion, but it not even so much dangerous as a radioactive element, but as a poisonous one

[Alexey Lantukh]

Obviously, the person meant X-ray machines for translucent steel seams in factories. Radioactive isotopes are definitely used there. Most likely an isotope of Cesium-137.

[Horn]

Yes, and figs with him. Flaw detector, for example.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

Quote: Horn

carbon 14 half life 5730 years
Krypton 85 - 10 years old
Cerium 144 - 284 days
Polonium 210 - 138 days
Radium 226 - 1600 years
Thorium 232 - 10¹⁰ years
cesium 137, strontium 90~10 years

[Alexey Lantukh]

Of course, nuclear weapons pollute the territory. The question is the amount and half-life. So, after Chernobyl (I am a participant in the liquidation), for 3 years I had a slight excess of the radiation standard for Cesium 137 (half-life 30 years). Then everything returned to normal. Still alive. It's been 35 years already. Of course, large doses of radiation and radiation are clearly harmful. But, people now live in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the radioactive background has long been normal.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

half-lives I wrote above, the problem is that we consider direct sores like radiation sickness and oncology
my grandmother worked throughout the war as a radiographer at a steam boiler factory, the consequences are a sick thyroid gland, as a result of which high blood pressure, hemorrhage and loss of one eye, we really DO NOT TAKE all the consequences or attribute part of them not to the consequences of radiation

[Alexey Lantukh]

Who counted x-rays at factories. It was only in Chernobyl that radiation accumulators appeared. Perhaps they were, of course, at the enterprises of the nuclear industry.

[Horn]

Something even on Novaya Zemlya, neither in terms of thorium, nor in radio, nor in terms of structure, there are no special excesses.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

sure?
do you have research permits?
I’m silent about the fact that you are really not in the subject, there was only ONE ground explosion in 57

[Horn]

And you? You also only have public data, so don't puff your cheeks. In Semipalatinsk there was a bunch of underground explosions, and now coal is being dragged from there, including to Russia. In Russia, by the way, several ground-based nuclear explosions were carried out as part of the "turn of the northern rivers." And it did not cause any restrictions. By the way, if you are old enough, then you should remember the "lethal" dose of radiation in the 70s. Compare it to the current one.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

apparently you have no idea how a ground explosion differs from an underground or air explosion

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

Quote: Horn

well, in more detail how much and where ?!
In the period from 1965 to 1988, 124 peaceful nuclear explosions were carried out on the territory of the USSR as part of the implementation of the state program "Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy", of which 117 were outside the borders of nuclear weapons test sites. All nuclear explosions were underground

[Horn]

Apparently, you are just a dogmatist: you cling to the concept without understanding the particulars.
The difference between ground and underground excavation explosions is much less than between underground and underground excavation. I hope you can understand the difference. If not, look up the word "excavator" on Wikipedia.

Here you have to choose. Or land polluted by the presence of Nazis. Or land contaminated with radiation.

DO NOT wake dashing while it is quiet. We woke up. Now - called himself a load - climb into the body. In life it is not customary to cause evil on oneself. Even the investigation will not be opened until someone commits a crime. But in the modern world they began to live with illusions. To help the younger grades of Harry Potter. To finally immerse people in the world of mysticism. mixed up in the minds of people. It would seem easy to go to real life. But this will mean taking away capital. After all, the homeless must be given a small room. A sick child must be cured at the expense of the state. It's no good.

[Horn]

They simply accustom the people to the idea that Russia will ALWAYS use nuclear weapons. Then they blow up something vigorous. And, voila! The culprit has already been identified!

[iouris]

Tomorrow they will write in The Times that the Russians have used nuclear weapons again... And who will check?

[Alexey Lantukh]

Well, what will they write? On us and so all the dogs hang. One dog more or less? Yes, don't care about NATO. Sanctions will still be limiting. Do not even dream of vacationing in Italy.

Absolutely to the point

[Leader_Barmaleev]

Agree with the expert one hundred percent. But would a respected expert be so kind as to clarify why we still do not use the most powerful non-nuclear weapons? Recently, with great fanfare, the ODAB-10000 tests were announced. Yes, at least ODAB-500 are surprisingly effective crackers, and most importantly, there seem to be a lot of them in storage warehouses. Why?

I do not see the connection.
Tens of thousands of people a year undergo thyroid surgery, suffer a stroke and other hypertension, and that they all worked with radioactive devices?

[Knell wardenheart]

It is nonsense to use tactical nuclear weapons from the side of a larger army - against a smaller one

I just have. Apparently you are from the breed of "teachers on the roads"?

I am born in 1962. Long before the generation of "successful menagers" and the Unified State Examination.

Nuclear weapons in Ukraine are our loss. No need for nuclear weapons. There was no reason for us to interfere. It was enough to stop ALL deliveries to Europe with the requirement to negotiate new trade and military agreements.

[Ivanov IV]

And I would like to ask Sivkov:
- Why, until now, Russia has not used the tactics of full-scale bombing????
What, political feints are more expensive than the lives of our guys?
Why, for more than half a year, has the Western border of the former Dill not been blocked?
Why do communications still function?
And finally, why does the war criminal Zelensky voyage freely and with impunity through the territory of the former Dill????????
Nuclear weapons are extreme.
But my Questions are today's Reality.
