minus-squarePons_Aeliuslinkfedilink2•10 months agoNukes are a phantom menace. Great to have a few to stop getting invaded but completely useless as offensive force projection. If all the money and talent spent on this thing had been spent of conventional forces Ukraine would be in a lot more trouble than it is now.

minus-squarePons_Aeliuslinkfedilink-1•10 months agoAre you seriously equating building a tank to building two nuclear powered submarines? One is an attack sub with an estimated cost of ~500M USD The other is a nuclear missile sub with an estimated cost of ~700M USD While a t90SM is ~4,.5M USD
