NUKE LAUNCHER Russia ‘moves ATOMIC mortar that fires nukes & laser-guided Daredevil missiles to Ukraine border’ as war fears mount

CHILLING images are said to show nuclear cannon being sent to Russia's border with Ukraine as renewed conflict threatens to erupt into all-out war.

At least six 2S4 Tyulpan self-propelled mortars - capable of firing warheads 12 miles - were filmed on a flatbed train in southwest Russia on Tuesday.

They were filmed as the train paused at Kropotkin station in Krasnodar, near annexed Crimea and the rebel-held Donetsk region of Ukraine.

The Tyulpan - codenamed M-1975 in the West - is an upgraded version of a Soviet-era self-propelled 240mm mortar.

The large bore means it can fire a range of projectiles including high-explosive and incendiary shells, the laser-guided Daredevil round, and even nuclear warheads.

Dubbed the "city destroyer", it is the largest mortar system in the world and has been used to demolish fortifications from Chechnya to Afghanistan.

Sounds like Russia wants to end this particular war quickly.

Sucks to be Biden!

Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if the globalists have a few pop-up wars up their sleeve. In case the “Great Reset” isn’t moving along fast enough.

I can hear them now: “Think of the TV ratings!” (I’m only half-joking here - statists have shown time and again they have little regard for human life - their own soldiers included)

We have a dementia-addled president and a woman vice president who’s afraid to even get near the border. What better time for Russia to flex its muscles?

The headlines and articles have the feel of late 1930’s news articles.

Dementia Joe will do the same thing he and Obama did when the Russians seized the Crimea under the Obama regime, which is nothing.

Its just another artillery piece.
There must be hundreds of “nuclear capable” artillery, including rocket and missile launchers, in Russian inventory.

Given the short range of this thing it wouldnt be my first choice for tactical nukes.

My first rule of nukes is: be very far away.

If Trump was still in the WH this would not be happening. Nor would Chyyyyynnnnnaaaaaa be as aggressive as it is towards Taiwan. They know Sleepy is weak and a corrupted buffoon. Trump they respected and know there are functional brain cells in his head.
