Nice goal post shifting. Now you just need to back up your made up nonsense with some evidence such deliberate offset detonation is current doctrine.
Is this directed at me?
Unfortunately little difference to how sh*t is being promoted by big business and then taken as gospel by the UN (the same who swallowed China's bs that Covid wasn't transmissible p2p)
Jumping from a high horse can damage your cruciate ligaments.
Threats ?
The Pentagon's response is that these people you speak so highly of, are not in possession of sufficient facts, whereas they are. In other words, there are interception capabilities way beyond what has been revealed publicly.
That should explain it,however this is intergrated with the Aegis navy based and land based systems and Thaad,and like you said future lasers and things we dont know about yet.
By claiming Crimeans want Russian rule, you are echoing Russian propaganda and lies. They do not.
when did I say it did?
Any weapon over 1 Megton with an airburst at 26km above target leaves a vaporised circle of about 2km wide minimum.
You can offset the angle from directly overhead and airburst it at a lower height at about 20km away from centre and you have ridiculous amount of destruction
Both scenarios are out of reach of the UK system....because it's short range
Sadly, moving out the previous people and moving in your own has been one of the more effective methods to hold territory throughout history. it's not so much that it's a problem of asking the people who live there, but preceding that with some ethnic cleansing is a gross perversion of it. Crimea has long been settled by a majority ethnically-Russian population who probably aren't going anywhere, and Ukraine wouldn't be able to shift them out either. But all we can hope for is that the Ukrainians can push Russia out of Kherson and so on before they've had enough of a chance to forcibly deport those cities' populations (something which is already underway).
I'd say the US is getting phone and radio signal intercepts and also satellite tracking and then passing it on to the Ukrainians. I'm no expert on this stuff but I would guess that the minute the Russians start their conference, the clock starts ticking and if they haven't said their stuff and left the location by x minutes, boom - x being an unknown variable. :-)
I cannot recommend this podcast highly enough. Intercepting incoming missiles is ineffective & the US should disband their land based missiles as they can only be used for a first strike - something the US has said it would never do. Pointless for the Russians to have them either.
William J Perry discusses the threat of Nuclear war - he's a former US defense secretary
Good selection of videos here

Had a look at them in a video I posted here! (15-04-2022 3:05pm)
And we don't know what other classified defense's the US has.
Given the uncanny accuracy of what was being disclosed by Western intelligence prior to invasion, I assumed that was a given!
Satellite technology is going to help. And equally I suspect The US and/or UK are getting intelligence from within the Russian system
What? Cruciates?
No they are ment for incoming nuclear warheads in the terminal stage

Saw a cia guy on tv once. He said there's not a square centimeter on earth that can't be listened to.
They are meant for anything threatening Moscow from the air.
If I remember correctly I posted about them around the time Post initial ukraine invasion 8 years ago now
And if you want to look at anti ballistic defence,try ground based midcourse defence,Aegis ship based and land based Aegis,Thaad.
Thats anti ballistic missile defence,i doubt they are ment for fighter jets and bombers
Its happened so many times I’m surprised that the Russians are not learning. It is not safe for groups of Senior Officers to have face to face meetings in Ukraine. Surprised they haven’t come up with an alternative.
There is,for ballistic missiles,not aircraft
So threats are ok then ? Just kneel down before your oppressor. Some quality insight there.
Those tactics aren’t unique to russia historically speaking.
I believe the idea is when they detonate the emp blasts should in theory cause incoming missles to malfunction and crash likely to effect aircraft too , while showering the local population with radiation,( open to correction)
It's a desperation play
I think so.
US airforce and nato to a degree ,they can more see and hear everything the Russians are doing on the ground and in turn supplying the Ukrainans with live real time intelligence
"The U.S. Congress introduced a resolution that will allow the use of the army in Ukraine
U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger wants to allow the use of the U.S. Army in Ukraine in the event of an escalation of the war by the horde.
The resolution is intended to give the American president the authority to respond to a scenario in which the horde will use chemical, biological or nuclear weapons against Ukraine.
"Today, America has the opportunity to reiterate its support for people who seek freedom and stand firm against authoritarianism. "After talking to Secretary Blinken and hearing his grave concerns about orca's use of chemical weapons, I am confident that the United States will demonstrate to the international community that we will not tolerate senseless violence," Kinzinger said."
I can almost feel the rage in Moscow, from here. Imagine those clowns on state media, half might die on set from apoplexy.
Why be arrested and thrown in prison for holding a placard when you can make a real difference and burn down some infrastructure or a military installation.
I wonder if someone living in Russia set up a go fund me to put Putin to sleep permanently - how much support would that get?
