Furious Putin prepares to use 'father of all bombs' as brave Ukrainians hold up advance: West warns Russia could use terror weapon that vaporizes bodies alongside a massive Amphibious assault as invaders run into fierce resistance in Kyiv

Russia could use savage superweapons that vaporize bodies and crush internal organs if their assault of Ukraine becomes bogged down, Western officials warned tonight.

They fear Vladimir Putin could resort to high-power thermobaric weapons - dubbed the 'father of all bombs' - as brave Ukrainians resist his attempts to take control of Kyiv.

There are also concerns that units that are running behind schedule as they encounter stiff opposition could resort to indiscriminate shelling as a terror weapon.

Thermobaric weapons - also known as vacuum bombs - are high-powered explosive that use the atmosphere itself as part of the explosion. They are among the most powerful non-nuclear weapons ever developed.

A thermobaric bomb dropped by the US on Taliban in Afghanistan in 2017 weighed 21,600 pounds and left a crater more than 300 meters (1,000 feet) wide after it exploded six feet above the ground.

Thermobaric weapons were developed by both the U.S. and the Soviet Union in the 1960s. In September 2007, Russia detonated the largest thermobaric weapon ever made, which created an explosion equivalent to 39.9 tons.

The U.S. version of the weapon reportedly costs over $16 million each.

'My fear would be that if they don't meet their timescale and objectives they would be indiscriminate in their use of violence,' the official said. 'They don’t adhere to the same principles of necessity and proportionality and rule of law that Western forces do.'

Hey Putin, if you want to drop THE BOMB, spill everything you know about Biden and co.

That would do far more damage than anything else.

Did the MSM every use the word “brave” to describe the Taliban and the supporters of Saddam? Or the supporters of Qaddafi?

All that despicable leader ship in the west is doing is ensuring that when Putin does takes Ukraine there will be dead people and destroyed infrastructure everywhere.

I am not believing anything I am reading from either side right now... Propaganda is in full force...

That said, if Russia decides it wants Ukraine, no amount of sanctions will prevent it.

we will see how this all plays out...

Putin should get that hacked direct audio-video camera feed into his personal office fixed by his IT guys.

I don't think he can do anything about the telepathic link established by the CIA and MI6, though...

You can’t trust anything Biden is doing because he is so compromised. Everyone in Washington knows it.

Are you likening the Ukrainians to the Taliban or Saddam Hussein?

I'm sure the vicious Hun Russki will find cute fluffy kittens and big-eyed puppies to bayonet.

Yeah right. Vlad’s past history ( Georgia invasion, in then out when stabilized) shows this “ fear “ is fear mongering. The Pentagon has issued a statement today stating Vlad has released less than 40 percent of the 150,000 on the Ukie border. Vlad is holding out for negotiations that the Biden administration walked out of in December. The negotiations will have to address the largely unimplemated Minsk agreement. When Vlads security issues are addressed, he will pull out. It is interesting to note the Ukies were never admitted to the EU or NATO, wonder why. Something stinks.
