How real is Russia's nuclear threat? The director of the CIA recently said there is no practical evidence of Russia being close to using nuclear weapons. Other western weapons monitors also say there's no sign of Russia moving warheads out of their bunkers. But every Russian manoeuvre is being closely watched for any sign of whether Putin's rhetoric will move into reality.

I'm not sure when threats to use nukes on people defending their own lands became normalized. The nuclear option is a sign of desperation that wouldn't even change the situation on the ground. Russia would still barely be the strongest military operating within Ukraine.
Russia: Sanctions don't hurt us. Also Russia: Lift the sanctions!
Russia is laughing how sanctions are a stick of two ends. They don't yet realize that we can afford to tighten belts a lot further, while Russians will die off.

To give some perspective on how big an explosion a kiloton of TNT produces, consider the Beirut Port explosion, which was estimated to be the equivalent of between 0.5 kilotons and 1.12 kilotons of TNT.
Excellent comparison.
That was pretty scary. There are some good videos that give excellent perspective to the size and power of that explosion There was one like it in a ship in Texas a long while back. I believe both were fertilizer accidents.
The videos of the Beirut explosion are chilling.
How about this perspective... Hiroshima was about 15 kilotons TNT and that's today's low yield tactical device. One of our big boys today up to 1.4 megatons. That would be Hiroshima times 90... and that's just one.
@@howiescott5865 Those are not our smallest nuclear devices, the US has nuclear artillery shells that range from 0.01 to 1 kiloton.

@Red Stripe Which is why it is very important that Ukraine doesn't attack Russia directly. That would give him an excuse to launch.
Compared to Russia, North Korea seems to be totally rational by now
This is what happens when you let a manchild run a country.
Russia will detonate nuke under sea making huge tsunami destroying uk just watch
@Red Stripe, I believe that the majority of Russia’s nukes don’t work, and the majority of those that do will be shot down before they leave Russia. Reagan was talking about Star Wars which was a satellite based intercontinental ballistic missile defense systems. That was in the 80s. A long assed time ago. Well, in the 80s, they stopped talking about Star Wars. The would not stop talking about Star Wars if they didn’t come up with something better. I seriously doubt that the United States has spent $800 billion a year for the past 40 years and developed nothing. I’m certain there are top secret weapons that none of us know about. In the 90s there was some talk about a 747 with a giant laser in it that could shoot down missiles 600 miles away. Laser technology has advanced significantly in the past 30 years. Who knows what they have today, but I’m pretty sure the United States has developed something.
I am so glad I came across DW. The amount of detail, discussion, and balanced reporting is nearly unmatched these days. It's helped to assuage a lot of my anxiety in recent days.
Yeh it can get a bit much sometimes. I read an article somewhere where a professor assessed American news channels and graphed them based on polical leaning (left and right) and factual accuracy (up and down). On the graph the most factual and least polical was pbs news. So when I'm getting overwhelmed I switch to them for a few days.

If Russia uses nuke, wind will blow eastward to Russia.
Tell that to the Russian soldiers who've been digging trenches near Tschernobyl.
We don't actually know on which country the nukes will be used. Don't fool yourself. Your city could be first. Or second.
@@mikesamovarov4054 life doesn’t have a propuse, die now or in 50 years is the same. If Putin push the red bottom, he will stop existing as MAD shows if I die, I take you with me
If they hit Kiev it will blow into Poland too and Belarus. Kiev is right near both of Poland and Belarus boarder
Explain this? How would the wind blow to Russia?
The Russian military brass understands that using tactical nukes will not reverse their losses or advance their objectives. It would in fact make their position much worse.
No but they have said any interference and they will force their hand remember putin has been prepping his whole life and would love to press a button
Using nuke at that point is no longer to win but to not lose. Nukes will make Ukraine a wasteland and prevent the recovery of Ukraine for a while.
Worse in what way ??

I really feel sorry for Ukraine. Cherno. was bad enough. But seeing places like Bucha, Mari. just turned into wreckage......now Russia making threats with nukes. Ukraine is one of the finest countries on this planet. What a brave people.
Nagasaki - Fatman: 21 kt. Hiroshima - Little Boy: 15 kt. Tactical nukes: 1-100 kt. Effective targets: civilian centers (that are far away from areas you're trying to take over). Total madness.
Yeah....the problem with nukes, is that when one flies, they *ALL* fly.
Not exactly. Both nukes send to Japan didn't elicit a direct launch response. (Yeah, obvious. But also Nuclear War didnt happen afterwards nor did EUA get any heavy sanctions for it).
@@bruceluiz that's because no one else had yet developed them other than U.S haha
@@bruceluiz cause it was the beginning of the Manhattan project. No one else had Nukes.
@@bruceluiz because no one else had them
You should ask yourself: what are the possible targets for a nuclear strike? You'll realize that there are no meaningful targets. There are mainly 2 options, either Russia strikes Kiev and kill a lot of innocent people, but the Ukrainian military is not affected, or Russia strikes around the front line, but according to their new annexation laws, they'd strike themselves (Russia), with probably very few Ukrainian military casualties, as these units are scattered throughout the frontline.
Maybe the Ukr should just keep walking? They are "inside Russia" now anyways? ;P
What s a problem is that russia and Putin have not been following Logic or sense but acting totally insane so its hard to measure by normal standards
its more about the message I would believe, putin's actions have shown that they have no issue scaring the population into submission. The use of just one tactical nuclear strike on a smal target mayby wouldn't be actually effective in combat, it would (In russia's mind) scare the population to stop fighting. They're already internationally very isolated and putin seems quite desperate for a victory (however he thinks a nuke would achieve that). We need to stop thinking putin acts on logic. I personaly don't think russia would use a nuke, but I certainly wouldn't put it past putin for trying to give the order
s @LSpeace - Russia has never had "normal" standards
That's why the Russians pull back in these regions.
Great reporting.
Raytheon has just come out with its new 300 kwatt High Energy Laser. It can take out missels with low yield nuclear weapons.

2 bad decisions doesn't equal a good decision
true
Sometimes it doesn’t, sometimes it does.
Interesting to note that no one here has pointed out that the use of nukes on the battlefield would make the area they were used in.....uninhabitable. Uninhabitable for how long ? What is the point of "wining a battle/war" if you are unable to use what you win when it is all said and done?
If Russia can't have it, neither can Ukraine or the West. It's a past time as old as history. Destroy and raze the land so no one can inhabit or use the territory. It's always been a part of Russia's playback for areas it occupies. Look at Chechnya before the wars ended. Completely obliterated, so no one could live and survive.
If people have nothing to eat except for radiating wheat or gene manipulated industrial rubbish, they will eat it.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki are inhabited. They weren't uninhabited for long.
There are small warheads which can be used on military bases the land would be useless for a bit but they would be at the same scale as the ones used by America during ww2. Roughly 80% of all residual radiation was emitted within 24 hours. Research has indicated that 24 hours after the bombing the quantity of residual radiation a person would receive at the hypocenter would be 1/1000th of the quantity received immediately following the explosion. A week later, it would be 1/1,000,000th. It's a misconception that Nuclear bombs cause a lot of radiation for long periods of time, they are not meant to cause radiation for extended periods, but cause a massive blast and disable anything in it's radius at a very effective manner. If you think Chernobyl then there was way more Uranium at the site which is just there while a blast spreads it over a big part of land, let's say a bomb (small) uses 50kg of Uranium Chernobyl had about 100 or more fuel assemblies all containing 100kg uranium.
@@csuporj Yes and how long did it take to fully understand the effects of radiation/how long radiation would be toxic. In the same circumstances would the same thing be done today?.....I think ....no
Keep ganging up on one place that it's wiser to mind your own business about and find out. Just keep trying until they lose patience.
"safe guards to stop nuclear launches" I think there was a "safe guard" to stop nutters starting mindless wars with their neighbors but that did not seem to work , The nutter just glared at the individual questioning this action then he sat back down and went silent. this seems to be a failure of command/rank similar seen in aircraft crash investigation when the lower ranking pilot wont call out blatant mistakes of the higher ranking individual out of fear or punishment etc and the overall result was plane crash no one survives.
Seems like throughout history people have used whatever weapons are available and to me it is a natural progression of war where someone tries to get some advantage from all resources they have available. I'm not saying it's right, it's horrible.
We commoners have to stop following the 1%! We don't need leaders---we need direct democracy.
While we should take nuclear threats seriously, we should not allow it to discourage western support for Ukraine. Russia needs to be handed a decisive defeat in Ukraine to bring about regime change and reduce the threat to global security. The west should be crystal clear to Russia that any use of nukes even tactical ones is a red line.
The Russians know that. They would say the Ukraine giving up neutrality was their red line. We can only hope that Biden tries to negotiate peace as soon as possible
The West has already failed their war in Afghanistan, Vietnam and soon Yemen, so why should Russia be intimidated? They are even about to exhaust their own resources and are on the brink of economic collapse.
Great report DW and the insights provided from your contributors. Enlightening to me regarding the nuclear component.
This is the price you pay when you allowed an individual to be in power for so long. Putin is out to destroy Russia, the sooner Russians realise this the better.
This would be on par with a kid sticking a sparkler in a wasp nest.
2 things about that train have already been factually confirmed 1) it did NOT have nuclear armaments on it but rather a vehicle (similar to the US Stryker) that’s specifically used to protect the columns of nuclear payload delivery vehicles. And 2) the vehicle was 100% NOT going towards Ukraine... not even close. It originated in Moscow’s northern sector and travelled North to with a strong possibility of being deployed for ‘war games’ in the north near St. Petersburg.
One thing for sure is that Russia is not the colonialist and slavers state that dropped A-bombs by the motivation of racial hatred.
Do you’ve actual satellite data to back up everything you said ?
Can you be 100% that the trucks aren’t just a carry vessel? What you see is a truck. We don’t see what’s inside. But any nukes would effect Russia so for that reason no way he would.
Stop trying to manipulate people it was literally going to Ukraine
I don’t know what you’re talking about but none of these things you said has been confirmed
I'm sure Japan thought we were bluffing in WW2
That's why Putin needs to show some action, to get believed.
Gerhard You are the Man keep up the great work🗡
Everyone says we're not there yet when it comes to the launch of nuclear weapons, like taking off on a road trip eventually " we're here "
There are proper indicators for real nuclear threat. Those don't yet exist. It's not just figure of speech, like you assuming.
You said he wouldn’t invade. Of course he will. Get ready
I'm not rich enough to get ready
The US always said he would invade, the rest of the world said he would not, therefore if the US says he will use nukes I would be worried but they dont say it yet.
this is not depressing at all
calling lyman "lie-man" and "lee-mon" in the same sentence, good job DW
sure hope that the military experts realize that there are weapons more dangerous than a tactical nuke that require responsive protocol
"No sign of Russia moving warheads, no evidence of getting closer to a nuclear strike" Meanwhile three days ago we knew that their submarine was redeployed to the north arctic sea, equipped with nuclear torpedoes that cause an irradiated 500m tsunami to crash into the shores or any coastal city they'd choose to hit. What do you mean no sign?
The nuke in one of those torpedoes is waaaaaaaaay to small to do anything close to that. Nukes pack a punch sure, but compared to geological events or Inter stellar objekts they are a fart in the ocean. And we do not really see 500 m high tsunamis now do we
The sign is when something is changing. The stuff happening currently are "business as usual". Your couch potato expertise isn't required.
Imagine having the deadliest weapon in history and still being laughed out of the building. If those threats came from any other country with nukes, everyone would be shitting literal bricks.
It's the real life boy who cried wolf. They bluff a thousand times and wonder why we stop listening.
If Putin were four inches taller, we wouldn't be in this mess.
Well Cyrus knew it ;)
20 ukrainians dead for every russian is a win for you? yikes
The fission reaction packs a radiation pulse that would cause 60% mortality to everyone within 1 km radius (and that's just a small 1 KT device). This would immediately wipe out an entire battalion. Tho, Putin more likely will use a 10 or 20 KT warhead. He has invested €billions into this weapon - and has been waiting for an opportunity to use it (to scare the West - force it to submit). Ukraine success is pushing him into a corner right now. I think Putin might want to show the world that he has options - and can be extremely dangerous when cornered.

He always has something to lose. If he triggers a response from NATO, Russia can cease to exist... Any any places they detonate nukes on will also be unusable to Russia in the future.
All news channels are asking the wrong question to their guests and governments, the question should NOT be "Whether Putin will use nuclear weapons or not", coz it's upto Putin. The question should be "What the west and NATO will do IF Putin uses nuclear weapons", that's the question should be, because the answer of this depends on the west and NATO.
It's going to be false flagging.

Since they annexed lpr and dpr using nuke is not out of theirs doctrine anymore.
The Train has been geo-located to North of Moscow and heading north in the footage. Also they move these units around a lot. Not really a new thing.
Seeing that family at the end... It's crazy how some of us live in luxury in Europe while others hang on by cooking on wood fires in burnt out and bombed buildings just to survive. Seeing those Russian recruits was also heart wrenching. We like to think of them as the enemy but they're scared and mostly forced into this one way or another. The only real enemy here is and always was Putin and his people.
These reports are not just for discussion, but they are to prepare us, to normalize the nuclear situation happening. Imagine the difference between, going into a nuclear war after months of mental preparation through reading about it all the time, and just seeing a random nuke out of nowhere.

Better prepared rather than surprised. “Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.” Just like any of life’s “storms”.
Interesting point, DB.
Evidently Putin isn’t familiar with the MAD acronym.
I can't believe these news channels are talking about Nukes so dryly, so passionless...chilling...
I do wonder the state of maintenance on Russian nukes. Trucks and tanks are a lot easier to maintain too.
They occasionally test them. The missiles especially. Unfortunately too many Russian nuclear weapons will work. Also any use of nuclear weapons by Russia would be extremely limited. Probably only one or two in the first strike, trying to blackmail the Ukrainians.
5 percentage of 6000 is 300. that much is enough destroy europe.
Well think logically. Nuclear weapons are Russia's greatest asset and they KNOW IT. Thus you can bet money that they keep them in as close to perfect condition as possible. If your survival strategy hinges on Russia's nukes being too decrepit to work i suggest you make a new survival plan... rapidly.
@@killman369547 you would not believe how much nuclear survival gear and kit is stored across the world by the usa and nato for this event... and russia has never even trained for combat within a nuclear battleground much less equipped itself for this event.... nato has planned massively for this event...
@@superman9772 I agree with many of the media shown scholars saying the chance is pretty low. However, Yeah, it would be bad worse than WW I, which the trench warfare was said to be horrible, at least in part due to chemical warfare. Large sections of populations will be seriously injured and killed with terrible injuries.
Putin is hoping for a seriously cold winter to slow down the war, giving him a chance to train up an army for a spring offensive.
I think the same, they build up their stocks and manpower. Then next spring they will do the same with the hope that European citizens get tired of high prices and force their governments to sue for peace or to stop supporting Ukraine. This war has the potential to drag on for years.
That seriously cold winter will finish his army since their winter clothes are tied to a dock in Cyprus. Hundred meter long yachts don't come cheap.
Or that retreat is one of his Plan to either to prolong the war or launch a nuke
Guess its a good news then that all meteorological institutes are expecting above normal temps for Europe this winter, as usual xD
Ukraine has friends who are very familiar with winter. Canada, Norway , Sweden and Finland will supply Ukraine with the equipment to keep fighting in their mild winter.
Security fast
People don't understand the size of these bombs, don't take me wrong they are crazy however, take "Davy Crockett" the lightest ever deployed by the United States, has 0.02KT yield. The nuclear bombs used on hiroshima and nagasaki were 13 - 23KT yield. Quick mafs: 1000x smaller yield. That's not the problem with tactical nukes or low yield nuclear bombs tho, its radiation of the affected area, the precedent it sets, it starts small then inch on up.
Utterly preposterous to suppose you know where each and every nuclear weapon is.
Russia doesn't even know where they all are
@@jamesmichaels4979 🤣
I had two dreams that nuclear war broke out. When the Russians start pulling out and retreating back to Russia then it’s time to assume they will use these bombs!
You gotta watch less news.
Bold of you to assume they won't sacriface their own men to make it more surprising.
I though the same. The west thinks they are retreating but it’s a calculated move by Russia to get their men out of the firing line before the nukes drop.
@moi2833 Thanks, fixed it.
The first 2 minutes answered the question. I'm out folks.
'O Fair Folk! This is good fortune beyond my hope'
russia has never had the equipment or military gear to enter a battlefield in which nuclear weapons are used... nato has always assumed in their battleplans the use of nuclear weapons by the russians and thus nato maintains a large inventory of nuclear protective equipment and units with specialized training and equipment for treatment of civilians in a nuclear battlefield... the reason nato does not maintain tactical nuclear weapons is those types of weapons do not provide any military value and are costly to maintain and it is my understanding china has come to that same conclusion considering nuclear weapons...it is only russia that continues the practice of nuclear threat in their military strategy ... the second part of the issue and debate is concerning the actual russian maintenance of their nuclear weapons and would they actually be deployable and actually launch and shoot, those weapons are very delicate and moving them around on a train is not the best method to maintain their necessary precision... in the end, it is russian pride that russia is so angry about and lashing out at the world ... but "pride does not put food on the table"... the world is witnessing the implosion of the russian state inwards and onto itself (which is a shame) ...
the world is also witnessing the implosion of EU inwards and onto itself, which is a shame
@@nothingness863 the eu is an amazing concept and organization of many nations with a varied and diverse cultural view of order and lifestyles... what makes the eu unique and productive to europe is that it was not devised in war and revolution but based on mutual goals and collaboration... it is dynamic and evolves with the need of its members ... the issues it faces within its union do not require war to solve... each nation still controls and maintains its own power and will and may seek another path without bloodshed (it's just they work so well together it would be shame to see any nation leave)... and it certainly isn't the u.s.e. or the c.i.s of europe. either
@@nothingness863 The EU is a small version of how the world is probably going to be one day if we are able to set aside our differences. At the moment the EU is stronger than ever and I do not see any reason for us to implode inwards on our self.
@@kwando472 what are the criteria of being "stronger than ever"? EU was never more divisive, it never had higher level of social tension, and economical recession like this didn't happen in decades. let alone food crisis, energy crisis, financial crisis on top of 2 mismanaged years of pandemics. if you make claims, give some examples or metrics, at least.
If Florida were even more racist and inbred---and it had nukes---it'd be Russia.
All these news channels keep on talking about Putin's nuclear threat. However, debates about whether or not Putin is going to inflict nuclear destruction upon Ukraine or the West, are irrelevant. Putin can simply fabricate his own excuses to justify the use of nuclear weapons. The only question we should ask ourselves is, how to respond and how to prepare on this nuclear threat/ war.
I seen it on that train.
Think Beirut but a lot more frequent on the frontlines
ON SCALE 1 TO 10 I THINK THE CHANCES ARE MINUS 100
I agree!! Putin knows he would commit suicide the Russian people would commit suicide nuclear threats = no more Russia
Take what experts say with a pinch of salt. They are not on the front lines fighting.
neither are the russians 🤣
And a lot of those experts are not neutral experts. Always check their backgrounds, especially who they are working for.
Thank you DW for clarifying and providing details about the matter of Russian tactical nuclear weapons.
Did you not remember how a Soviet officer defy the order that could lead in a nuclear war between USSR and the US?
No way will nukes stop Ukraine, well said. Unbelievable reporting ,boots on the ground and all. Pictures of the train were amazing.
A mega ton nuke on kyiv would definitely end the war, this is a scary situation for all
Nukes on Ukraine will even speed up Ukrainians to take lost land
@@chancefoy6287 which nuke?
Only way Russia can win is by dramatically stepping up their game in terms of execution on the battlefield. I don’t expect this to happen as they are running out of well trained soldiers and supplies.
You are making unsubstantiated claims about lack of trained soldiers when Ukraine have actually lost many of their best soldiers while Russia got over 1 Million active personal. There is a reason why Ukraine mobilized for 7 times and is now throwing mostly reserves into battle. Ukraines elite troops are mostly volunteers from the west, including veterans and even they are overwhelmed at the intensity of the war.
@@terron7840 Thank you for explaining Russia's failures, retreats, and whiny threats.
Let Putin release 1 million trained troops and see how zelensky will be super scared he'll pee on himself for sure therby taking whole of Ukraine trust me don't mess with crazy putin
Good luck with cap. OPEC + just turned off the tap.
Yall remember when Dory said, "just keep swimming.... just keep swimming...."..... yea we should probably stop fuckn swimming....
Go Ukraine 🇺🇦 95% of the world backing you guys.
Most of the world couldn't care less
dude you sleeping on earth or what? eu and usa will do nothing
I wouldn’t under estimate Putin. There could be a nasty surprise around the corner.
I wouldn’t overestimate him either. He’s done nothing but make threats and achieve so little else
He doesn't bluff
You give away the surprise by telling someone your going to punch 👊 him , he inturn is already reading his response which will be a surprise 😮 to the one doing the threatening ....
There aren't any surprises to be had. Putin either uses nukes or he doesn't. Accordingly there are only two options to choose from, and we can do absolutely nothing about either.
@@Aaronsmith-cu8ii Think again. Sanctions didn’t work and in fact the Rouble became stronger than the dollar. He’s put Europe on their knees by stopping the Nord stream Gas line to Germany. We are the ones suffering economically and we were trying to punish Putin!!!
What about the armament the monitors CAN'T see? 😉
They are moving close to the Antarctica much closer to United States and Canada 🔥💯
By the end of November, my guess is the total area Russia actually has annexed will be about the sizes of either sticky notes or postage stamps. Those are expensive, millions per micron in area.
Still expensive at quark level.
What putin has to remember is that even though he says he wants to use em, his generals and higher ups, and they could potentially deny it
No they literally can’t…. Putin gets the final word….. unless his people switch on him.
Refusing to obey Putin is a death wish.
@@ReeseL4D Yes but if you die anyway if you launch a nuke , then fear doesn't matter anymore you either risk all life or refuse. If my leader would threaten me with death if i don't launch a nuke on China, then so be it, i would still refuse unless they launch one on our country.
