Russian Nuclear Project Orion Battleship Might Happen

Russia's military budget is now five times less than China and ten times less than the USA. Russia controlled eastern Europe as the USSR. They were a superpower for decades despite the economic power of the USSR being half of the USA. The USSR spent far more of its economy on its military and built high volumes of tanks, planes and nuclear weapons.

Russias economy and military budget are becoming smaller and smaller relative to the USA and China. The Russian military budget is about $60 billion and only $30 billion on buying weapons aka procurement. China spends about $200-300 billion on its military and the USA spends $750 billion. China and the USA are growing their economies and military budgets. Russia is being forced to choose between being militarily weak and irrelevant or gambling on making crazy nuclear superweapon systems. Putin has already chosen to go down the make crazy nuclear superweapons path.

Project Orion has been around for some time, those who want to know more about it should check this very good documentary from 2003

Let's hope they learned how to build things since the USSR. At that time they were building a lot but most of their projects were flying and sailing junks, well suited for killing the enemies as well as their own crews. One famous example is Tupolev Tu-95LAL that irradiated everything around it including the pilots, or the passenger Tu-144 that had so many issues they never really were able to use it. I wish them well but we can expect this thing to fall on our heads one day.

^^^ Right! Let's hope Musk makes it to Mars before Russia lets fly with these things, so that at least one guy will survive the radioactive fallout.

Well Musk just wants to detonate some nukes on Mars, and he has already the means to deliver the payload... That car he sent is flybying the planet only because they didn't want it crashing into it... But it takes the exact same effort.

This is actually not a new idea, its old, quite old. About inducing the greenhouse effect on Mars to melt the poles.

Elon Musk Floats 'Nuke Mars' Idea Again (He Has T-Shirts)

Unfortunately this could produce the opposite effect (nuclear winter). I don't think he will convince anyone to give him nukes anyway...

Well, maybe Musk will be paying the Russians to develop the Orion program. After all, it is still mostly top secret in the USA.

After the Russians nuke Mars, Musk and others will be able to use the Russian Orion ships to do all kinds of things, because the ships will have proven themselves by nuking Mars.

We have Musk Melons (cantaloupes). Then we will have a Musk Mars.

Probably won't happen anyway. But the people of the USA are ingenious enough to do it without the world if they want to.

russians have to focus on ressureccting the UDSSR in certain forms

In Russia now all these sectors are in complete decline. Do not believe the media about this, there is only misinformation.
