So basically you're saying if Ukraine fights back then Russia should commit more war crimes against the population of Kyiv?
The world should be holding Russia to account, even if it means Russia ends up escalating to a nuclear war with NATO. If we are all going to be cowards and sacrifice Ukraine for our own temporary safety, then we don't deserve to live. And giving into Russian nuclear blackmail won't work anyway. Even if we give them Ukraine on a platter, they will just come back demanding more later: Maldova, the Baltic States, Poland, Romania, etc. It won't end, so we might as well confront them now.
Too many of my fellow (naive) westerners don't understand the cold war is back. And the harsh truth is that if Putin has decided he will either win and get his empire back, or throw the world's biggest temper tantrum and start WW3, then we are all already dead anyway. We might as well die with some honor and courage.
Putin told that when he was young tanks with russian and ukrainian conscripts were stationed in Dresden and Berlin. Also he feel happy when not only tanks but also nuclear weapons were stationed in East Germany.
Especially Luna M. It didn't needed codes to arm, just in certain sequence to remowe 2 wires in order to get warhead armed.
Nuclear arty had 0 codes too.
Arming procedure for nuclear arty if environemnt t° was from -10 C° till +45 C° was simple as hell.
You have box locked with 3 keys and 2 padlocks. Plus ofc " paper " seals signed and ' guarded ' by wires.
BTW it is possible to open without keys and codes if you are criminal.
When you open box....
You need to check temperature and .... pull out 2 wires in prescribed sequence.
If this is done, warhead is armed irreversible...This procedure is irreversible.
After this you insert detonator and calibrate this with 2 or 3 discs in it.
After this you insert shell in chamber and ofc load panckakes with propellant etc.
After acceleration process when shell will leave barrel warhead will be Finally Armed.
Nuclear arty shells are very expensive. They does requires high purity grade plutonium and sometimes are using also DU tamper.
It isn't full Teller Ulam design but incomplete linear implosion design.
