Fables of near supernatural mythic heroes in war have existed as long as war itself.

Great for moral.

Ukraine are winning the information war. Much like how North Vietnam won the propaganda war against the USA, which led to the withdrawal of their forces, despite them winning pretty much every battle.

I wonder how the world will react if we see a TOS-1 go off in a civilian area since the only bigger bang is nuclear.

Would not surprise me at all. What the Russian people will think is another matter.
i.e. They won't even know about it.

That threat falls away when you are the only one prepared to use nukes though.

Mutually assured destruction only exists when you know your enemies are prepared to do so. At this day and age, I don't see western powers willing to go that far. And Putin may know that as well. He might be the only one not posturing.

First government to retaliate with nukes may not be popular either.

Again I could be reading it all wrong though.

Russia would be crazy to do this. The world would turn on them and they would be dismantled quickly.

Definitely winning the Twitter war.

Calling out other leaders like the Italian guy who didn't want to sanction Russia on Twitter has been a great success for Ukraine.

Got them plenty of free weapons and almost all the sanctions they could posibly want.

So who wants to listen in on Russian communication as they may be using civilian radios.

That feels like misinformation, the russians during the ussr days had encrypted radios already (though was more for their kgb side) so there is no reason for them to suddenly not have encrypted radios. And relatively it's not something overly expensive to implement.

If you browse that discussion it center's around the fact that the paratroopers had military radios (didn't help them much) while the standard conscripts are using commercial.
