Russia has begun mass production of mobile bomb shelters that can protect against a variety of man-made threats and natural disasters including radiation and shockwaves, the emergency ministry's research institute said.
The "KUB-M" shelter looks like a reinforced shipping container. It can give some protection against radiation, shrapnel, debris and fires and can be deployed in Russia's vast northern permafrost, according to the state institute.
The standard unit accommodates 54 people but additional modules can be added, the institute said.
Yeah, they won’t do anything against beta or gamma radiation. They’re potentially viable shelter from conventional munitions, but you’re only stopping alpha particles with steel or lead.
Doesn't matter. The reason why they're produced is to keep the domestic fearmongering active and the population convinced they're only defending themselves.
Here's the thing though, trusting that it's only a threat sort of relies thinking that the leadership of Russia isn't batshit-fucking-insane, and that's not something I would put money on.
I agree we can't allow them to just go "nukes" and do whatever they want, but let's not pretend the threat isn't real to some degree.
Does it even matter if it's real? If you assume it's real and combine that with the fact that Russian leadership is completely cooked through and crazy irrational, how would you even 'be careful' when the other party is proven to be chaotic evil.
