Don’t they also use liquid fuel rockets? Have they been maintaining that system as well?
Comment from : @markherbert1978

Wow that’s incredible information to think on
Comment from : @Dawn2DuskAdventuring

Ryan, you bring up a good point brbrAbout 5-10 of Russia’s nukes will actually work brbrKeep in mind that Russian contractors work pursuant to the Russian grift system… which means that the contractors get the work …but pay off those contracting them so that they never actually have to do the work brbrThis has been going on for decades… so, 90 of their nukes are certified inoperable

True However, in the words of The Donald, himself: If there's only a 5 chance
Comment from : @MrAwesome739

They couldn't even maintain their tanks and trucks in storage, the idea that they diligently kept up with the maintenance on their nukes is laughable
Comment from : @dunwitch

And many of Russia strategic ⚛️ missiles was designed and developed in Ukraine in Dnipro city Russians mast maintained missiles every 5 years or so and they couldn't do that without Ukrainians Last one service/maintenence was 2012 or 2013
Comment from : @soloway-l1o

Of course they will
Comment from : @v-ba

They’ll not work They are poorly maintained and they time have expired
Comment from : @mabotyin

You can't operate on "maybe" they won't work Why? Because they are nucular weapons! Ya wouldn't want to be wrong with that much on the table
Comment from : @fulminating90210

What if Russia launches a nuke and it turns out to be a dud? On one hand that’s pretty funny but they still launched a nuke
Comment from : @tommyd2235

“AS DANGEROUS” does imply, STILL dangerous So instead of modern yields? Maybe… Hiroshima?
Comment from : @hexadecimal7767

I like listening to this guy
Comment from : @lilbob369

Russia also has an issue of helium build up in their nuclear weapons
Comment from : @mathunt1130

Also corruption General Yuri claims he used the money on tridium But hes driving a lexus and living in a penthouse and a rolex Curious
Comment from : @EllRiver

People underestimate Russia way way way too much
Comment from : @Perplexer1

Russia is as unstable as Tritium, if not more You never know what you gonna get
Comment from : @rinsedpie

This is two years old now and for aome reason just popped up Im just going to assume it wants me to suggest EMD glow sticks but idk what's inside a glow stick so maybe not
Comment from : @WhatWhy42

Russia has the Economy of new York state really puts things into perspective
Comment from : @eblancho871

I doubt anyone really knows Putin, but look at his face! Does that look like a face that would let that one go? I don’t think so, in fact, I bet his entire country suffers so that his warheads are maintained
Comment from : @859derrick

Its a safe bet to assume 3/4 of their nukes won't even be able to get off the launchpad
Comment from : @AtlasCrafted

The fact that they won't shut up about them, says to me, they won't work and they know they don't work Like that one kid who always hides behind his older brother One day someone will learn the older brother isn't as threatening as his brother says, the next day that kids getting his shit kicked in
Comment from : @thepolishnz

So maybe the ICBM they launched into Ukrainian might have been a real nuclear device it just evaporated in the 80s 😂
Comment from : @Gary-uy9mr

Makes sense as to why the US hasnt invaded, they are well aware vlad is only doing this as his victory lap because his dictatorship is coming to an end
Comment from : @cdocker3070

Mess around and find out

Do the Russian nukes work, I really don't want to find out Doughboy!
Comment from : @williamcollins2327

So, the fission trigger would still go off
Comment from : @HRDBMW

I’ve been saying this for almost three years! Party Boy Lil’ Putsie would rather spend money on yachts and crap than nukes
Comment from : @PlanetFrosty

I think they'll have a few functional weapons, but not enough to come close to winning, or even enough to make everyone lose
Comment from : @robertlavery6896

Blaow, tell it brother All the red lines that have been crossed Nothing except "but nukes"
Comment from : @kingpest13

Not a bet I’d put my money on
Comment from : @williammoses6460

The danger of Russian nuclear warheads is when they're sold for parts (high enrichment core fissile material), whether they're sold by the state or by the colonels
Comment from : @rexnelson8604

Will my car actually start? See theres this thing called gas and its expensive and if i dont keep putting it my car wont start And i got all these bills i need to pay So will my car start ? Basically what he just explained
Comment from : @Bakedpotato1077

Well, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see However, it’s a useful tool for bullying those who think they have more to lose than Russia if they decide to use it despite a nuclear retaliation
Comment from : @josepholadiran6916

There are other ☢️ isotopes that can be used with much longer half-lives and much higher yields ⚠️
Comment from : @spacedune13

Cool Who's willing to make that bet? Western civilization vs Russia didn't make tritium Russian roulette, anyone?
Comment from : @madsocsci

so why are you so scared???
Comment from : @robertgillespie6890

They have the economy of NY But how cheap is labour there?
Comment from : @ssmedja

Totally worth the gamble you DoD propaganda pusher

I've watched this before and it was so informative I've watched it againbrSomepne should pass it on to that " fountain of all knowledge " Joe Rogan😅😅😅

Comment from : @landafarms4367

It would be really funny if they fired off a total dud, but I don't really want to find out
Comment from : @spacetoast7783

Love Covert Cabal Thanks for giving them the plug
Comment from : @TheCmac1966

The same point applies to us as well If Ryan knows that critical parts of nukes decay, so do the Russians And if we are maintaining our nukes because of this, one must assume that they are maintaining theirs as well It's wishful thinking to hope they haven't maintained their nukes
Comment from : @landafarms4367

In a hydrogen bomb you need tritium, yes However in "old school" plutonium or uranium fusion bombs you don't It's reasonable to think that Russia has at least a few such bombs
Comment from : @fdk7014

I heard New York can take on Russia
Comment from : @Bowen288

Stupid talkcheap thinkingRussias nukes are real and dangerousdont take it lightly
Comment from : @mdsaikat1669

Looks like we're going to find out shortly
Comment from : @bobmathews9072

Been saying this for years brbrNow, russias only real wmd is chemical or propaganda based
Comment from : @BlueRidgeBubble

A quick google search says that tritium with a cost of 30000 dollars per gram it will cost Russia 30 million dollars per year to maintain 4,500 weapons, doesn't sound like a lot compared with the Russo military budget
Comment from : @elchippe

expensive is something relative how expensive 1 million 50 1 billion per year for 10 years figures not words
Comment from : @danfilon3349

Nice gaslighting, but Trump's president We are done playing war games
Comment from : @MelkorTolkien

Tritium is the difference between an atomic bomb and a hydrogen bomb It will still detonate and cause destruction but not have the same yield “Fat Man” was a plutonium atomic bomb and did plenty of damage to Nagasaki
Comment from : @maestromecanico597

Regardless of the exact technology, nuclear warheads are EXPENSIVE to maintain, and if you just let them sit they degrade and may not work as expected after a period of time
Comment from : @MrWyzdum

Think of it like my watch from 1972 It has tritium hands They don’t glow anymore unless I shine a flashlight on it for like 2 mins It’s very annoying I want new tritium
Comment from : @nickinportland

Even when the receipt says the tritium has been replaced
Comment from : @johnhorne9977

That's not as comforting as you might think HaHa
Comment from : @jipsydude1232

What’s the watch?
Comment from : @rpm6085

They have to make it out of the silos and even that’s a gamble
Comment from : @Whatisright

If only 1 works thas enoughbrOn percent of 6000 is 60 nukes,brReally a bad day for the planetbrbrSo Russia has to be stopped, but keeping safe politics in mind

You want the take chance?
Comment from : @skylane1828

China rubs their hands eyeing russia basically unguarded east
Comment from : @wilinstonthompson1352

Well, i thought they didn't use Tritium anymore, for that very reason I thought they used solid lithium-6 which converts into Tritium during the detonation of the primary
Comment from : @jensaggergren4666

Thunderf00t talked about this a couple years ago too Given how corruptly hollow their army supplies seem, seems unlikely upkeep nukes endured in the past 40 years
Comment from : @solarnaut

Yeah…they still work Boom!
Comment from : @Comments1-vc8jg

Im actually mor3 curious about how many man hours it takes to maintain them
Comment from : @lancemagmer9701

I'd rather not find out
Comment from : @stefansekulic7903

The problem with the constant “Russias economy is so small” is that Russia has an actual industrial economy The American economy is full of fake “services” like venture capital and outright parasitical spending like anti discrimination training and consultingbrbrYou can’t compare the two brbrRussia is building brand new nuclear icebreakers and the US has the ice breakers we already have sitting in port for years with no repair and burnt engines
Comment from : @eriknervik9003

As a poly sci major who worked in DC for many years, I really appreciate well research fact based content like this
Comment from : @macbuff81

Russia spends more on manipulating right-wing media here in America than nuke maintainance
Comment from : @JK-ij1ks

Still to be safe, keep a spoon and a fork in your pocket
Comment from : @hawk1481

That’s probably why they haven’t used them
Comment from : @hawk1481

Question is, wanna find out?
Comment from : @mad555max

Russia has two dedicated tritium production reactors nicknamed Lyudmila and Ruslan that came online recently A single warhead only needs less than 05 kg of tritium for it to be a warhead Russia as of 2023 had 75kg And it takes 12 and half years for tritium to decay So it's safe to assume the only thing Russia may lack in pushing those buttons is the "will to destroy the planet"
Comment from : @tionarry

Tell me honestlywould you be brave enough to disarm a nuke that just fell into the middle of a city and didn't detonate Like that nuke from Megaton in Fallout 3
Comment from : @CursedImagesEveryday

Wow Let’s find out if you’re right br🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤬brBy the way, they are eating people’s pets in Springfield 😡
Comment from : @renesmit6774

Only 1 of the warheads need to work, to trigger armageddon
Comment from : @ProfClaudeBalls

This is all assuming that they’re; competent and honest enough to handle this

Comment from : @Fibonochos

You'll always be my military explainer in chief, but your watch is too young to run on Tritium More likely it's SuperLuminova
Comment from : @harryhirsch3637

The Russian defense industry is so corrupt, you KNOW SOMEONE is skimming money from the maintenance of Russia's warheads
Comment from : @mtaylor3771

What about the actual boosters? 10 failure rate? 20?
Comment from : @BigBrainBrian

thats why they dont use it even after ukrain invasion
Comment from : @shadmanigat2232

Yeahhhhhhhh, but i didn't want to try and find out
Comment from : @gmax985

I remember reading at the start of the invasion that it was common for those in charge of keeping good tires on military vehicles would just pocket the money and let the tires deteriorate You can’t convince me that such corruption stops when it comes to warheads
Comment from : @August222

I wish you would have said "would" instead of "will"
Comment from : @ChaseNimmo

If the Tritium is useless, but the nuclear material is still good enough, you can still have a nuclear explosion It may not even be as powerful as the Hiroshima bomb but it can still do a lot of damage and irradiate large territories
Comment from : @lance3748

Russia also only has 300 ICBMs the rest are all air drop and considering NATO has like 3000 modern fighter jets that is not going to work so Russia is stuck with 300 ICBMS that may or may not work but even if they did use them each war head is good for 1 square mile so not going to wipe out a city even if though ICBM has multiple warheads Also using even 1 that fails could destroy Russia's nuclear deterrence which is life and death of Russia

Comment from : @CtrlWQ

This is only for their H bombs This isn't the case though for their fission bombs
Comment from : @jovazquez6102

Check the Russian budgets for those nuclear weapons Starting in 1990, up to today, only in 1 year, did Russia funds its nuclear program sufficiently to keep everything running Add in the usual Russian corruption, and how about a dud ratio of 50 to 60? brbrNot that that matters, 40 is enough to put us i(the /ibiwhole/i/bi world)/i into the Mad Max series for the next couple of millennium
Comment from : @michaelwittkopp3379

I believe that this is just one piece of the device of many complex components that need replacing The complete cost of maintaining an ICBM ready to go is around 1 m USD per year Like you say Russia has the GDP of Spain Ref Kursk boat sinking when it fires a torpedo
