Unfortunately we enter into new era where MAD is no longer applicable to Russia. Their sarmat has 100% effective target couple woth superb AD while current ICBMs operations tested in America and UK are absymal with equivalent ineffective THAAD and Patriots. It is interesting to see how this asymetrical MAD will play out in coming years.



Russian air defense is abysmal; Ukraine is now regularly slipping dronified Cesenas through it. Rest assured that American Ohio class SSBNs and SSGNs will be able to ruin Russia if they try anything stupid.


Are you suggesting Russia might avoid destruction in a war between modern nuclear superpowers? That seems... difficult to believe.
