Was hat #Russland überhaupt an einsetzbaren Nuklearwaffen? Es ist deutlich weniger als ihr denkt.
#SLBM an U-Booten haben wir bis zu 5 der neuen #Borei mit je 16 R30 (SS-N-32 #Bulawa, RSM-56 Alternative Bezeichnungen) mit je bis zu 6 Sprengköpfen.
Dazu kommen 7 #DeltaIV mit 1/x

Je 16x R-29RM (SS-N-23 #Skiff) mit je bis zu 6 Sprengköpfen.
Dazu soll noch ein #DeltaIII (Status fraglich) im Dienst sein mit 16xR-29RL (SS-N-18 #Stingray mit je einem Sprengkopf. Das noch existierende #Typhoon (offiziell 20x Beluwa) wird nur als Testplatform genutzt und 2/x

Soll nicht mehr einsatzbereit sein, dazu eh gen Ende des Jahres ausgemustert werden.
Daher sind maximal 228 Raketen mit 1288 Sprengköpfen möglich.
Wenn eine Rakete mehrere Sprengköpfe trägt nennt man das #MIRV. Hier gibt es aufgrund der Verträge Maximalzahlen der MIRVs je 3/x

1/ Με συντονισμένες κινησεις οι χώρες του προγραμματος #Eurofighter αποσυρουν σταδιακά τον στόλο των αεροσκαφών Tranche 1 μετά από 2 δεκαετίες υπηρεσίας. Συνολικα έχουμε: 1) 15 #Αυστρια, 2) 33 #Γερμανια , 38/53 Αγγλια ενώ αγνωστη παραμένει η τυχη τους με #Ισπανια και #Ιταλία 
⚠️ Destruction in the Phillippines 🇵🇭 is inevitable with catastrophic landfall expected in the next 24 hours ⚠️
Super #Typhoon Goni is the strongest storm on the planet right now.
The centre of the storm will pass almost directly over the capital, Manila.

Not sure how on the radar this is for you but the #Chinaflooding season starts in 13 days and it’s already a catastrophe.
An interesting analysis of the situation.

As #Beijing prepares to impose a sweeping #NationalSecurityLaw formally invalidating core #1C2S protections, risks are mounting for #HongKongers & their future.

The clock is ticking toward an unclear, but clearly worrisome, future for #HongKong.

VIDEO THREAD: Front Line Nature VLOG #2 - The Beast of Miyakojima. A first of its kind for me, the following thread takes you through the vicious eyewall and into the eye of #typhoon Lingling which passed right over Miyakojima island, Japan in September last year. The intro... /1
Miyakojima is a tiny spec in the Pacific ocean, a gorgeous sub tropical island surrounded by reefs but also rugged and wild. As a typhoon approaches the waves there can be phenomenal /2
I chased Lingling solo, it was tough. I landed there expecting to shoot a cat 1 and watched in amazement as it bombed out into a cat 4 - I had to adjust my plans to play it safe, opting to shoot from a solid hotel in town /3
#Eurofighter (still prefer #Typhoon) is strongly pushing the European angle with most major European powers having a stake in the program. Total sovereignty over mission data was also a big deal, and the (re)newed focus on EW-capabilities was also promoted
The Eurofighter has a bunch of strong cards: the independence angle is a big deal for Finland, as is the large number of major operators (second only to F-35) and the fact that it is likely the premier #QRA platform of the lot.
Time for countdown: my Top 10 chases of 2010s! I've got lots of war stories, & it hurt to limit myself to 10. Criteria varied, ranging from intensity to fear factor to footage coolness to quality of my data. Rankings are subjective, & y'all may hate my decisions. Ready? Let's go!
No. 10: #Typhoon #KAMMURI
Dec 2019 – Legazpi City, PHILIPPINES – Cat 4
Intense Christmastime cyclone slammed Filipino port city. Despite nighttime darkness, I caught some of my best footage of combo wind/water assault on waterfront. Bonus: weirdly violent wave action in calm eye.

My timestamped footage from #KAMMURI. The real pounding (in the front eyewall) happens from ~11:16 pm to ~12 midnight. Wind & water become one ferocious flow of energy ripping in off the gulf:
Thread 1/ #Typhoon Hagibis made landfall in #Japan and has caused widespread flooding with human lives lost. Spare a thought for those in Japan who need help at present. #Fukushima Daiichi. But some are using this storm to promote scientific misinformation
2/ I am seeing posts that link the #radioactive contamination/decay heat from #Fukushima Daiichi & the development of tropical cyclones like #Hagibis and going so far as to say the human caused global warming is not like to #CO2 but nuclear fallout/contamination
3/ The argument goes something like this and is summarized in a blog I posted some time ago @dailykos dailykos.com/stories/2016/1…:
1. Fukushima released radionuclides to the environment with much of the contamination ending up in the Pacific Ocean
2. Isotopes generate heat on decay

#HAGIBIS #TYPHOON COMING TO #JAPAN
In #Tokyo's #Shibuya ward, you notice little of the threatening storm that is approaching
Until you want to get water or cash
None of the stores I visited had large water bottles (even though they bought extra stock), ATM's had people waiting

#HAGIBIS #TYPHOON COMING TO #JAPAN
Apparently there also many stores where far more than water has been sold out
#Tokyo and surrounding areas seem to be getting ready for something serious
