    Is it?

    The oligarchs has stripped the military of everything they could, replacing armor with paper crap and the such.

    Now take nukes, which are notoriously finicky and require a boatload of maintenance to remain explodable, if that is a word… If ever used, it’s the end of the world, and it won’t matter anymore.

    So here you got weaponry you can quite easily siphon millions out of and basically no one will find out, or no one will be left to care.

    Do you really think they did their best on those?

      We’re also talking about a military that had an endemic of soldiers getting sick and going blind because they simply would not stop drinking the rocket fuel. Their flagship carrier is basically a littoral ship because that’s all it can do without catching fire. I assume they still have some silos with missiles that could launch and make for a decent dirty bomb but primed and functional warheads…unlikely
