Or, they've found a viable way to disguise donated long-range missiles so they can be used to strike back at Russia without implicating the country that provided them.
These are 100% identifiable from debris. No one would be fooled by such a farce.
At this point, if Russia stated they were hit with a long range missile from "Country X" and provided pictures of identifiable debris, would anyone actually believe them?
Hexbear would!
I doubt anyone would actually care. They're getting weapons from NATO members, Russia wouldn't do anything in retaliation.
Russia would VERY MUCH care, and so would any NATO nation for what it'd mean. If a NATO weapon hits Russia, Russia will at minimum start actually threatening nuclear strikes, and probably throw down a lot more of their military to start threatening NATO directly.
No, they wouldn't win sh*t anyways, even if they started using the four nukes that are still operational, but a properly thrashing Russia would be very ugly for the whole region regardless of how fast NATO 'could' end Russia.
Russia has already threatened nuclear strikes. Russia is all threats and no hot sauce. No one believes Putey any more.
Oh I know, but after he'd me making threats he actually meant (and still couldn't pull off) while impotently pounding his fist on a mile long table.
does it matter?
That would have been a possibility if someone donated them some. Wich isn't the case yet, at least officially.
You're not going to officially admit to receiving a missile you're planning to plausibly deny using.
Sure. Absence of proof isn't proof of absence, but nor is it a proof of occurence. Best we can do is to wait for someone to do an error in order to be able to know a bit more.
