Russian President Vladimir Putin has a vast arsenal of weapons at his disposal, but many call it barbaric for the devastation they could cause, should conditions call for its use.
These weapons are vacuum bombs, hail storm rockets, even cluster bombs that can be used to soften targets. They could come into play in the Ukraine conflict, but the consequences would not be pretty.
Russian Forces Moving Into Kyiv
En route to Kyiv is a force of Russian armored vehicles, which is reportedly 40 miles long. Western observers are speculating they are starting a new stage of the engagement in Ukraine, according to The Telegraph.
One of the reports says that Putin expected a clear victory in 48 hours of special operations.
No assistance has made Ukrainians give their lives to stop the Russians that got praise from their leader Volodymyr Zelensky, giving them missiles and rockets to stop the invading army.
Things have not been smooth, and the Kremlin might consider these weapons to get breathing space. Reports say these weapons are lethal and terrifying; if Moscow abandons control.
As Russia says, the West has made the situation worse, and anything can happen in the conflict; it had no choice.
Raw power, not defense
A vacuum bomb has been unleashed on Kharkiv, a brutal weapon absorbing oxygen in a specific area.
Suppose an area needs softening up with a pounding by BM-21 Grads that fires many projectiles on a specific target called hailed launchers as seen in images recorded in Ukraine, cited Reuters.
Other options are air-dropped cluster bombs used in Syria, which is a devastating shock effect. For Vladimir Putin, the situation will depend on whether this arsenal of weapons will be in play.
Russia is charged to kill 7,000 civilians as it helped dictator Bashar al-Assad, but in Afghanistan, where Joe Biden issued orders to attack terrorists that were family and civilians, reported the Sun UK.
According to chief intelligence officer at security intelligence firm Dragonfly, Henry Wilkinson, the Russians might use their entire arsenal near the Ukraine border.
He claims that Moscow will allow undirected artillery fire and airstrikes, like in Kharkiv.
Weapons of Russia
Grads are part of the bombardment of a target with two rockets launched a second from a 40-missile battery with a maximum attack distance of 25 miles with 25-kilogram explosive warheads that will kill in a wide swathe.
Planes would drop these clusters while spinning in free fall to target; they crack open, and bomblets would plaster a wide area. Few would survive such an attack too. It is not allowed in by nations due to its indiscriminate attack. Moscow keeps such weapons in store.
Vacuum bombs are advanced and lethal compared to others in Putin's arsenal. They are either mounted on motorized transport or man-portable launcher or by bombers to deploy them. Targets undercover have no place to hide; the US Defense Intelligence Agency called them nasty.
The pressure can damage the human body by crushing pressure and concuss or blind the victim when it explodes. The heat created burns and vaporizes bodies.
A shockwave hits you and suffocates the target and killing you if it's not enough. Called a brutal device and condemned if used. No one knows if they will be used, but Vladimir Putin and the vast arsenal of weapons are an equal threat to the US and NATO.
