If Russia’s nukes are in the same condition as their feckless and corrupt military that cannot defeat a tiny nation like Ukraine, the majority of them won’t work as planned.

And their expected performance (around 70 knots and 1,000 meters depth) mean that they cannot be countered with existing weapons
