They also had like 12 000 tanks but 50% of them can't even move. Same with warheads. Oh yeah and they can't deliver them anywhere. Then can deliver only a few.

Oh yeah and they can't deliver them anywhere. Then can deliver only a few. Others are short range or should be dropped from old planes that can't even fly.
- ceejayoz 5y agoEven if 95% of their ~1,100 ICBMs are non-functional, they can hit every EU capital and quite a few major US cities.

- gruez 5y ago>50% of them can't even move. Same with warheads. Wikipedia says as part of START[1], russia has 1457 warheads. Suppose 50% are broken. That's 728 warheads. Even one warhead landing in each of the top 50 cities in the US[2] would be devastating. >Oh yeah and they can't deliver them anywhere. Then can deliver only a few. Others are short range or should be dropped from old planes that can't even fly. Source? As of 2009 they have 383 ICBMs. Keep in mind each ICBM can hold multiple warheads because of MIRV. Presumably there's less now because of START, but the ones they decommissioned are the old/unreliable ones, so it's fairly reasonable to assume most of their warheads can be delivered.
