Sweden would absolutely shit on the Russian military if it got invaded. Especially now.The BBC reports:
"UK would assist 'with whatever Sweden requested' - Johnson
Asked what happens if Sweden needs help in the "grey zone" after it applies to join Nato but before it is accepted, Johnson says there's a "separate conversation going on" and "it's a matter for Sweden".
But "in the event of a disaster or an attack upon Sweden, the UK would come to the assistance of Sweden with whatever Sweden requested," he also said.
The Swedish PM Andersson says the pact could include military support in times of crisis.
Johnson, meanwhile, also says it's important Sweden is giving the same support to the UK - describing the pact as an important "paving stone for developing relations in the future".

theyve certainly lost any fear factor they might have had.It's incredible how bad the Russians are at fighting a war.

To be fair, between his generals dying all over, getting their asses kicked in Ukraine, and other officers shooting their own soldiers, Putin is having great success at recreating the Soviet military of the 1935-1942 era.Tweet

Those guys obviously didn't watch A Bridge Too Far, namely what happened at the beginning of the ground advance.Russian tactics: "maybe we should try unprotected sprawling columns in wide open flat land for the 57th time General"

Viktor is too busy briefing the Pope on when the war will end.Orban?
Heh. Dude, where's my army?Tweet

Probably why Vlad is desperate enough to be using hypersonics.Heh. Dude, where's my army?
"Hypersonic" is just a hype word to be honest. Even the German V2 in WW2 almost got to that speed already.Probably why Vlad is desperate enough to be using hypersonics.
Its more than just a word. They are very difficult to stop since air defense systems can't manufacture anything to repel them. So unless it slows down to reach a target where a specific air defense system is deployed, it will hit its target with incredible ferocity, and potentially armed with a nuclear warhead."Hypersonic" is just a hype word to be honest.

True, thankfully it looks like the recent hypersonic tests by the US have been successful and contain technology that is more advanced relative to what the Russians have shown and even the Chinese especially with regards to this new type of "scramjet" engine that DARPA is working on. So hopefully in one to two years, the US will have taken the lead on this front.Its more than just a word.

Taking the lead on that front doesn’t mean the ones possessed by our enemies can be stopped though.True, thankfully it looks like the recent hypersonic tests by the US have been successful and contain technology that is more advanced relative to what the Russians have shown and even the Chinese especially with regards to this new type of "scramjet" engine that DARPA is working on.

I've always believed in MAD...Taking the lead on that front doesn’t mean the ones possessed by our enemies can be stopped though.
Hypersonic missiles don’t have to be equipped with a nuclear warhead. They can carry conventional warheads, or honestly, no warhead at all… I mean, we’re talking about a 10,000 lb object flying at 3500mph here. It’s kinetic energy alone would level things.I've always believed in MAD...
I think you need a lot more speed or a lot bigger object for the kinetic energy to really be a problem, right? You don't make something go 3500mph and then not put anything on it, I think.Hypersonic missiles don’t have to be equipped with a nuclear warhead.

I read somewhere that the HGVs that Russia and China have in service have to be deployed in ICBM or MRBMs in the first phase of flight, which means that in wartime situations they likely would be treated as nukes anyways as there would be no way to tell the difference. The hypersonic cruise missiles that the US seems to be in the lead on right now do not need an ICBM by contrast.Hypersonic missiles don’t have to be equipped with a nuclear warhead.
