Russia has begun mass production of mobile bomb shelters that can protect against a variety of man-made threats and natural disasters including radiation and shockwaves, the emergency ministry’s research institute said.

The “KUB-M” shelter looks like a reinforced shipping container. It can give some protection against radiation, shrapnel, debris and fires and can be deployed in Russia’s vast northern permafrost, according to the state institute.

The standard unit accommodates 54 people but additional modules can be added, the institute said.

On the up side, that is likely to be a short time.

Good thing fallout is harmless after 20 minutes.

Now you need to use /≠s if you want me to believe that.

Russia can launch one nuke into space and take out USA power grid. No radiation at ground level.

What does that have to do with radiation-resistant mobile bomb shelters?

What are the squids planning?

Oh we’ve already accomplished it. You just haven’t realized it yet.

Im tired of this shit talk. Russia can’t even push its border consistently more than 100 km from its place fighting a minor state. They can’t do shit.

Yeah, EMPs aren’t hard to do. Pretty much anybody could do that to anybody. You don’t need a nuke for it.

It’s pathetic what these losers will do to try to add some bite to their chickenshit nuclear threats

Dasus@lemmy.world on 19 Nov 12:33 collapse

Here’s the thing though, trusting that it’s only a threat sort of relies thinking that the leadership of Russia isn’t batshit-fucking-insane, and that’s not something I would put money on.

I agree we can’t allow them to just go “nukes” and do whatever they want, but let’s not pretend the threat isn’t real to some degree.

Chee_Koala@lemmy.world on 19 Nov 13:08 collapse

Does it even matter if it’s real? If you assume it’s real and combine that with the fact that Russian leadership is completely cooked through and crazy irrational, how would you even ‘be careful’ when the other party is proven to be chaotic evil.

Dasus@lemmy.world on 19 Nov 13:15 collapse

Exactly the fucking problem, I feel like.

Especially when basically the biggest party we had to go against them is now proverbially sucking Putin’s cock.

So…

Yeah. I fucking hate war mongering, but I can’t ignore the crazies. And I live like less 6 hours away from St. Petersburg by car, in Finland. I mean technically Russia would be dumb to nuke us, but also if there’s a lot of nukes flying to St. Petersburg, that wouldn’t be too good.

Idk man I know we shouldn’t doom too much over this but I’m anxious at home and it is a real thing, however improbable. I mean Putin might be off his fucking nut, but he did serve in the military and should be quite aware of what nuclear war would be like. Which is not something I’d say for Trump.

Chee_Koala@lemmy.world on 19 Nov 13:25 collapse

It’s definitely real, however improbable, and I can empathize with your anxiety. It just feels to me that we do not have any real ‘options’, so pondering the looming doom is feels pointless and luckily I am able to refrain from it.

Dasus@lemmy.world on 19 Nov 13:38 collapse

Oh fuck I wrote a lengthy comment on mobile and it got lost without getting saved to drafts.

Tldr I guess is that growing up I used to wonder how Hitler ever became accepted. Then in 2016 Trump won, when I thought it impossible, a meme candidate. My belief in Americans was crushed. Now again. And shameless genocide going on in Palestine. And Russia coldly invaded Ukraine.

Growing up in the oughts as a teen, Obama as president, things didn’t seem this worrying. The drone strikes morally dubious, but not worldwide threat concerning.

Now I don’t wonder anymore how Hitler got to be so accepted. Slowly. Step by step. With each of Trump*s elections and these conflicts, my belief in a lot of humanity decreases, and my passion about changing things in creases, yet resources to do anything about it dwindle.

Ugh the first one was so much better grumble grumble

Yeah, they won’t do anything against beta or gamma radiation. They’re potentially viable shelter from conventional munitions, but you’re only stopping alpha particles with steel or lead.

Yeah, I feel like the headline is more Russian propaganda. These will probably be thrown into a trench to house soldiers on the front line.

neidu3@sh.itjust.works on 19 Nov 16:27 collapse

Doesn’t matter. The reason why they’re produced is to keep the domestic fearmongering active and the population convinced they’re only defending themselves.

They failed the opportunity to name it KBU-M
