Is US truly the sole power in the world when concerning nuclear weapons, the ultimate meter of countrys military might?

Is US truly the sole power in the world when concerning nuclear weapons, the ultimate meter of countrys military might? The regional powers, i.e. Norks and Iran dont pose any threat to US, Iran does not even posess the bomb yet.

Russia is obviously not up to task, as demonstrated in Ukraine. If they cant do simple SEAD or maintain their mechanical equipment, how they would take care of the tritium triggers in warhead? Russian rocket troops fell disarray after SU collapsed and its effects show still, and I doubt that even half the warheads that Russia says it has are usable. Delivery systems are same, many of russian nuclear subs are in harbor, even if you check from google earth. They do not have enough money to deploy them, and even if they do, there are many US attack subs waiting outside of their bastions.

That leaves China. Based on Sub Briefs analyses chinese subs are garbage and noisy. Its obvious that they are years behind in that regard. Noisy sub is dead sub. Could Aergis stop chinese ICBMs? I dont know.

I dont know about russian vaporwave wunderwaffes like avangard, so I dont include them.

      What is the range of the hypersonic cruise missile? Mach 10 means roughly that missile covers 1000 kms in 6 minutes. That still leaves time for counterlaunch. And the delivery vehicle would need to get in range of anything meaningful. ICBM are already hypersonic, and they can be shot down. Glide vehicle lauch would still be spotted from EW-satellites, even if ground radars cant see it before it is very close.

        The key with hypersonics is that it also needs to be maneuverable or there's no point.
        Also a bonus if it stays close to the ground, but that's getting into the stuff that Russia and China are gonna struggle with.

          You're using hypersonic as a short hand for hypersonic glide vehicle, you shouldn't act surprised when people think you're talking about hypersonics. Not all hypersonic vehicles are capable of actually maneuvering at hypersonic speeds and you know that. The confusion among normies is common enough, please don't perpetuate it here too.

            No, that's just one type. There's also scramjet cruise missiles.

            I'm just going off of how Perun described it. The idea being that a "Modern hypersonic weapon system" needs speed and maneuverability, and without the latter, all ballistic missiles plus shit like old German V2s are "hypersonic missiles".

      This is fantasy.

      If China was so high-tech, they wouldn't need to steal technology.
      And even if you steal technology, that doesn't mean your society has the supply of educated people to implement it.

      Protip: There's a reason why Biden was able to shut down China's high-end chip manufacturing with the stroke of a pen. Because they rely on foreigners to run their own fricking equipment.

    That is wildly incorrect.

    The international nuclear taboo is strong enough that the only actual, practical use for nuclear weapons is as a suicide bomb so you can have revenge if your country is about to be destroyed.
    And if you try to use them to coerce somebody with threats, they just flee to beneath your enemy's deterrence umbrella.

    I believe it’s the reverse. The people of the world have become more competent, with literacy rate at an all time high. And with the advent of the internet you could search up the lessons of the past and learn to fight foreign amries. The viet-cong, the mujahadeen, the taliban, ISIS, and now Ukraine are capable of turning regular civilians into fighters with enough training and equipment to pose a threat to larger industrial armies. It’s not hard to find old information on “how to do war” and even understanding small unit tactics can completely change how fighting a mob to fighting a coordinated front will unravel even the US despite hold superiority in land,sea, and air. Big governments can’t play frick frick games anymore, because the threat of enemies at the gates is larger than ever

      The problem is that asymmetrical tactics seldom work in situations other than defensive wars on home-turf (you can't invade anyone with a disorganised mob), and aren't immune to failing to the exact same factors as 'conventional warfare', especially when the reality of their deprivation sets in. The Taliban 'won' against the US by outlasting its willingness to fight, but plenty of other insurgencies such as FARC, the IRA and the Tamil Tigers have faltered or even folded altogether.

    It is, you already know this. What's interesting is what will happen in some years, since a lot of countries are looking to remilitarize and modernize their weapons thanks to VV Putin's little tantrum. The U.S. is going to remain a superpower for the foreseeable future, at least militarily, but we might see some cool shit from other countries as well once their R&D pays off. I'm curious about what Japan's military will look like in 10 years.

        the patriot is for ICBMS on ballastic trajectories, and subsonic cruise missiles

        thats it
        and thats why the patriot is the biggest most expensive failure/trap any nation can involve itself in

        every nation the US is warring with has HGV's and no longer even fricking matters what patriot verision your on, it will never NOT EVER intercept a hypersonic

                The reality of the situation is always going to be more nuanced than "Patriot beats Kinzhal; Russians suck eggs", but literally right before this happened, Perun put out a video about hypersonic systems and talked about the ways that the Kinzhal is kinda "less than legit" in that category.

                It getting shot down would seem to jibe with that take.
