Putin's arsenal of missiles may not be as threatening as many feared after US officials claimed the majority of Russia's warheads do not work.
Not only that but sophisticated silicon chips are becoming very hard to source.
While warnings of full-blown nuclear war to tactical nukes being used on the battlefield in Ukraine have been widespread, some US officials are now suggesting that NATO should not be fearful of such scenarios.
In March, three US officials with intelligence on Russian warheads claimed that around 60 percent of Moscow's missiles do not work.
According to Reuters, Russia launched more than 1,100 missiles between late February and the end of March.
Their claims come with the backdrop of a potential global conflict and in effect World War 3, with Republican Mitt Romney this week saying that NATO "could engage" in Ukraine, "potentially obliterating Russia's struggling military."
Writing for the New York Times, he said: "You are either with us, or you are with Russia — you cannot be with both."
"Russia's use of a nuclear weapon would unarguably be a redefining, reorienting geopolitical event, Any nation that chose to retain ties with Russia after such an outrage would itself also become a global pariah."
The former presidential candidate also said that a "cornered and delusional" Putin could use nuclear weapons on the ground against Ukraine.
Avril Haines, the director of national intelligence in the US, also believes Putin would use nuclear weapons if pushed into a desperate position.

Even if only 40% of nuclear weapons work, that would be a very bad thing. I still think Biden is charting the best course. I am still amazed he was able to keep the lights on in Ukraine.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan said it best, "You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts."

what "missiles?" the hypersonics ( Iskander has the precision to hit targets 500 kilometres away)
have been hitting Lviv, and weapons caches, and strategic targets.
Russia has the best in the world, and they are getting results. -Unlike their armor/ships.
Maybe they mean short-range ballistic missiles (SRBM) which dont need to be so accurate as they rely on multiple hits on targets
IOW this is all bullshit!The officials did add, however, that the failure rate depended on the type of missile being launched and varied day-to-day.
THE MYTH OF "RUSSIAN SUPERIORITY" NEVER WORKED ON ME.
IN THE MIDST OF THE COLD WAR, I WORKED ON RUSSIAN TRACTORS ,CARS ,WEAPONS, INDUCTRIAL MACHINERY.
IT WAS ALL GARBAGE.
THEIR ICBMs WERE INFAMOUS FOR EXPLODING ON THE LAUNCH PAD.
THE CAN'T MAKE ANYTHING WORHT A SHIT, EXCEPT BALLERINAS and HOCKEY PLAYERS...
TRUMP WILL TAKE FORTY STATES...UNLESS THE SAME IDIOTS WHO BROUGHT US THE 2020 DUNCE-O-CRAT IOWA CLUSTERFUCK CONTINUE THEIR SEDITIOUS ACTIVITIES...THEN HE WILL WIN EVEN MORE ..UNLESS THE RED CHINESE AND DNC COLLUDE, USE A PANDEMIC, AND THEN THE DEMOCRATS VIOLATE ARTICLE II OF THE CONSTITUTION, TO FACILLITATE MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL, UNVETTED, MAIL IN BALLOTS IN THE DARK OF NIGHT..

Russia is a paper tiger. JFK and Reagan pointed that out decades ago.

Until just a couple of weeks ago

All you right wing nuts crack me up. We found out that you have some freakish attraction to Putin, so now your tactic is, "He's not dangerous".
You guys are so stupid. He's cut millions of innocents down just in the last few weeks. Primavera, you have to be one of the most seriously ignorant piles of total garbage I think I've ever seen online.
