Nobody interested in the Russia-Ukraine conflict?
If they are stored separately, would it be a good idea for NATO to have the warheads in the rockets ready to go just to be a step ahead of Russia just in case?
The strategic nukes of the Russia, US,China ,Britain and France are at a constant state of readiness.
That means they are loaded and ready for launch within several minutes probably less.
It’s been like that for half a century or so.
Battlefield nukes however are stored separately they tend to be weaker and have shorter range.
What's the difference between battlefield and strategic?
Strategic is the big picture. Tactical is the small picture.
Using the US navy to blockade all of the port cities of the south during the Civil War was a "strategy". But if you're on the battlefield at little Roundtop, and you poke the other guy in the eyes before you stab him with your bayonet - the eye poke is a "tactic".
Strategic nukes are the nukes used to wipe out the other guy's cities, and to wipe his country off the map.
Battlefield nukes (which might also be called tactical nukes) are meant to be used on the battlefied against the other guy's armed forces in battles .
Battlefied nukes (like nuclear artillery shells that are fired only fifteen miles by standard army guns) are less powerful so there is less collateral damage, and so they dont kill the guys manning the gun thats firing them.
Strategic nukes are usually fusion (ie hydrogen) bombs many times the power of the Hiroshima bombs. Battlefied nukes are usually fission bombs and are often only a fraction of the yield of the Hiroshima bomb. Or they are some crazy variant of nuke (like a neutron bomb that sends out energy that kills soldiers but leaves buildings intact).
Found a piece of fake news.
The picture shows Prime Minister of Vietnam.

unfortunately it gets worse if Cobalt is used with the warhead, it leaves an area uninhabitable for up to 100 years.
Russia is developing the Poseidon underwater torpedo speculated to use cobalt warhead to take out coastal areas.
They have even built a huge new sub to carry it

But I've heard we should always trust CNN and never trust Twitter.
I've heard it from a very credible source.

At least it's clear who to blame. McCaul is the author of the false claim.
Probably genuinely not checking facts before speaking to the media. Bad habit for a politician in hot times. Can do a lot of damage.

After awhile you get used to it.

That's the real issue, facts don't always get checked, especially when they align with the platform's desired narrative. Even 'credible' news services seem to have problems with this.

Which makes them slower than the less credible ones.
That's why I use several media outlets of different credibility level.

Still nothing on YouTube, though.
Ukraine's Chief of Defence Intelligence Kyrylo Budanov claimed Putin, 69, was attacked in an "unsuccessful attempt" to kill him around two months ago when he was in the Caucasus—an area comprised of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and parts of Southern Russia—only days into the Ukraine invasion.
I wonder what it is like to be the most hated person in the universe?
