Since Russian President Putin announced the launch of a "special military operation", several major cities including Ukrainian capital Kiev have been attacked by missile .
Putin issued a warning that if anyone intervenes, they will "face " more serious than any consequences you face in history".
Putin said:
No one should suspect that a direct attack on our country will lead to the destruction and terrible consequences of any potential invaders.
Why did Putin dare to make such bold statements? How powerful is the weapon behind him? has been analyzed in detail by foreign netizens, and the editor has also sorted it out.
ranges from nuclear warhead , Kalibr cruise missiles, flamethrowers to "super bombs" worth $16 million. Some weapons have been reportedly used in Ukraine.
nuclear warhead
inventory: 4,447
range: 18024 kilometers
power: 550 thousand tons
After the end of World War II , it entered the Cold War period. The two superpowers of the United States and Russia competed to create more nuclear weapons than the other.
The world's nuclear weapons reserves grew to a peak of 70,300 total warheads in 1986. With the weapons agreement and the non-proliferation treaty, the United States and Russia have gradually cut stocks, but they still have about
Although they have a large number of nuclear warheads, this does not mean they are all ready to fire.
- Deployed warheads: is deployed on intercontinental missiles, heavy bomber bases and bases with operable short-range delivery systems.
- Reserve warhead: is in storage state and is not deployed on the transmitter.
- Decommissioned warhead: is still intact, but is waiting in line for demolition.
At present, it has been a secret to how many nuclear warheads Russia has. According to existing unofficial data (statistics of the " Atomic Scientist Bulletin "), Russia currently has 4,447 nuclear warheads, of which 1,588 are deployed at the ballistic missile and heavy bomber bases.
nuclear warhead refers to a warhead containing fission or fusion bombs - an explosive toxic substance launched by missiles, rockets or torpedo .
The only time in history to use nuclear weapons in combat was the US bombing of Japan during World War II in 1945.
If there is really a nuclear attack on , it will be a disaster for the whole world.
Kalib cruise missile
Range: 2414 km
Weight: 2.3 tons
Kalibr is a long-range cruise missile developed by Russia and is a competitor of the Tomahawk missile made by the United States.
Kalibr 9.1 meters long and weighs 2.3 tons. It is equipped with a 500 kilogram high-explosion or thermonuclear warhead . It is Russia's preferred weapon when conducting long-range precise strikes on enemy targets.
Kalibr was developed in the 1990s and was first used in combat in 2015. It can be launched by ship , submarine or ground forces.
last week's footage shot in the Ukrainian city of Odessa showed a warehouse destroyed by Russian Kalibr missiles.
video shows that the warehouse turned into a fireball after being hit by a missile. The
footage shows that the warehouse imploded after the attack.
Super Weapons The father of bomb
Type: Hot-pressure bomb
Explosion volume: 44 tons TNT
Cost: 16 million US dollars
This high-power hot-pressure weapon - also known as vacuum bombs. It uses the atmosphere itself as part of the explosion and is one of the most powerful non-nuclear weapons ever.
In 2017, the United States dropped the largest non-nuclear bomb ever in the battle in the east of Afghanistan. The bomb weighed 9800 kilograms, and the explosion of was equivalent to 11 tons of TNT. After it exploded 2 meters above the ground, it left a crater more than 300 meters wide.
2016, a hot press bomb exploded during the Caucasus strategic exercise in Russia
hot press weapon was developed by the United States and the Soviet Union in the 1960s. The weapon reportedly costs more than $16 million per unit.
It works by using oxygen in the surrounding air to generate high temperature explosions, making it far more deadly than conventional weapons.
TOS-1 "Bratino" Multi-barrel rocket launcher
Type: Hot pressed
Caliber: 220 mm
Explosion area: 305 meters
Cost: more than $6.5 million
TOS-1 "Bratino" Multi-barrel rocket launcher is a multi-barrel launcher system that can launch "hot pressed" rockets. When a bomb explodes, it consumes all oxygen in the explosion area and kills everyone in the area.
victims may not appear to have obvious external injuries, but will suffer huge internal injuries.
TOS-1A "Bratino" multi-tube rocket launcher can launch 30 hot-press bombs in 15 seconds, destroying a 305-meter-wide explosion area.
This weapon is based on the T-72 main battle tank of the Soviet era. The main turret was removed and replaced by a rocket launch system equipped with 30 22 cm rockets .
The system was developed in the mid-1980s and the non-guided rocket had a range of 3.2 kilometers. It is very effective for people and light armored vehicles and can cause damage within a diameter of 305 meters.
Tsar bomb
Type: Thermal nuclear bomb
First test: 1961
Length: 8 meters
Tsar bomb, officially named RDS-220 by the Russian military, is the largest nuclear bomb ever, developed at the peak of Cold War , and is used to compete with thermonuclear devices produced in the United States.
In 1954, the United States detonated its largest thermonuclear device - its design was far more powerful than the early atomic bomb - the device was named Bravo Castle and exploded at 15 megatons in the Marshall Islands .
The Soviet military quickly began to make a bigger bomb and tried to surpass it, and in 1961 they created a bigger bomb that set a record of the largest nuclear device ever.
In October 1961, Russia detonated the Tsarist bomb over of the Barents Sea, the largest nuclear explosion ever.
In 2020, the Russian national nuclear energy department released unprecedented footage of the Tsar bomber test.
Someone once described that if a bomb is dropped in central London, the bomb and the resulting shock wave can erase the city from the map. The explosion at that time was also large enough to record a magnitude of Richter 5.0 earthquake and was recorded in earthquake centers around the world.
Two years later, the United States, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union signed the "HTM1 Part ban Treaty on Nuclear Tests ", prohibiting nuclear weapons testing in the atmosphere, outer space and underwater.
As early as 2015, there was news that Russia may be developing a new nuclear torpedo with a power of up to 100 megatons - twice the size of the Tsar bomb. The weapon has not been proven.
27m Malkar 203mm heavy self-propelled howitzer
Type: heavy artillery tank
caliber: 203mm
27M Malkar 203mm heavy self-propelled howitzer (ipctured), this is the most powerful conventional artillery system in the world. It carries four types of projectiles, can be used immediately, and can fire nuclear bombs.
It is said that it can completely destroy the buildings used as a stronghold with just one shell.
