    We still have a few research reactors and nuclear waste lying around that could be refined into nuclear weapons, but yeah it'd take a few years to build a nuke even if our politicians suddenly grew a spine.

    >>65612030
    The Bundeswehr have less than 180,000 currently serving members.

    1979 Sovoet Union had like 60,000 tanks in inventory, 20,000 MRLS and artillery pieces, and some 5,000 rotary wing and another 5,000 fixed wing aircraft.

    You're a retarded fucking faggot.

    >>65611964
    Would East Germany be in a superposition like the Palestine-Israel anomaly in UNSONG?
    Would NATO exist?
    Is this taking place in 1979 or 2026, i.e. which country is time-traveling?
    >>
    >>65612030
    And you think the Bundeswehr can? They don't even have an effective Corps HQ let alone a full set of Corps-level support assets, dipshit. They'd basically be moving two divisions independently around while the USSR throws massed waves of men and materiel at them.
    >>
    That's the big thing - without nukes, Germany theoretically has the guided missiles and other high-quality stuff to paralyze the Soviet military, kind of like what HIMARS did but much worse.
    But could they actually do it?
    Ain't no way, Germany and other Euro countries are incompetent clusterfucks of Managerial-Caste wastes of oxygen. They cannot get their shit together before tank spam overruns their country by sheer weight of numbers.
    If you gave them a year or two to unfuck themselves and hang traitors and incompetents, then maybe. (And again, that's handwaving away nukes)

    It's not even "hard".
    It's called the graveyard because it's an utter shithole of no value besides painting the map. So it's always the last to be taken, at an Empire's high water mark, and then always the first to go when an Empire starts weakening.
    >>
    >>65611964
    Germans are mind broken and brainwashed from losing ww2. For that reason alone, they will never be a serious military force. The fifth column peacenik mentality drilled into them would be considered disgusting, if not treasonous in any nation with the will and pride to defend themselves
    >>
    >>65612107
    Around 1,5 tons of 88-93% HEU, even irradiated ones from Garching reactor is still available. Some simple reprocessing and a few implosion warheads can be quickly constructed. Years is heavily exaggerated.
    Maybe months, at most. Urenco enrich could possibly get those quicker, maybe in a few days.
    The real bottleneck is the lack of IRBM or long range bomber. Those wont be available anytime soon

    Honest question, why did the Soviets struggle so badly given on paper the war should have been over in an instant since you're talking about a superpower sending motorized rifle divisions against men on horseback armed with antiquate rifles.

    They successfully conquered Afghanistan, replaced the government, and recruited and equipped an even larger Afghan army than the US managed. (Remember, the Soviets trained more Afghans than the US did. Remember that the next time you hear some faggot claim that Afghan terrorists learned the ways of war from the CIA.)
    However the Soviets could never truly change the culture of the populace from a resentful, reluctant subject into a whole-hearted ally. (Put this the other way round: you think if they managed to coup Kyiv today and set up a puppet government and a small Donbabwean puppet army, that means every single remaining Ukrainian is a loyal Russian?) That is why the CIA could find sympathetic rebels to make use of.

    But part of 2026 Germany was apart of 1979 Soviet Union? So how does that work? Someone is playing at a huge disadvantage if half of Germany is gone or one of the biggest strategic points for the Soviet Union is magically no longer apart of them.

    East Germany was not part of the Soviet Union.
    You're probably thinking of the Warsaw Pact. But that was a military alliance, not a nation.
    >>
    Realistically, USSR would just human wave Germany without much difficulty?
    1979 USSR is probably a much more formidable fighting force than current year Russia I would think and current year Germany I am inclined to think is in much worse shape militarily that modern Ukraine.
    >>
    >>65612836
    >current year Germany I am inclined to think is in much worse shape militarily that modern Ukraine
    Currently, yes, if we assume that both sides retain equivalent NATO support. Starlink and other US ISR and C3 assets give so much of a combat multiplier to Ukraine's field army that they would definitely beat the Bundeswehr.
    If we take that away and force each side to rely only on their organic capabilities however, the Germans might win, because Ukraine has very limited organic C3 and electronic warfare capability.

    it took the americans decades to get thermonuclear implosion warheads right. you also need them to function properly after decades of storages and after being manhandled by a supersonic launch into space and violent re-entry with high g maneuvering. and they need to detonate at a precise location in a precise altitude. thats not something that can be scrambled together in a few months if you want it to actually function and not just land in the ground unexploded or fizzle as a subcritical nuke and doing basically no damage. and then russias would have the pretense to do a full blown all out nuclear attack on every larger city in germany.

    afghanistan is a catch all term for 30 different tribes that arent on the same page at all and given afghanistans terrain, basically every valley has its own culture, history and relations. the guys sitting in kabul have nothing in common with the guys sitting in herat or kandahar, those are basically different nations and the afghan central government is similar to the EU in what power it actually has over the country. locals can just say nah and there is little the central government in kabul can do about it if they dont want their convoys get ambushed in the mountains. and the roads are so bad in winter there is often no way to get into a certain value at all, even if theres no resistance. the guys in there are shut in and the governmnet is shut out. you can send a few guys in at mountain paths or helicopters but thats it.

    Grandpa, this isn't the 50s anymore. Implosion device mechanics was done and solved for well over half a century. The hard works remain with the delivery vehicle, and yes, rocket science is hard, more so for solid-fuel ICBM, judging by failure rate of the Bulava. Getting a functional IRBM/ICBM with CEP that isn't measured in the size of an oblast is no straightforward task, which no doubt would take years for any newcomer.
    All my points remain valid.

    Solids are easier than liquids at the cost of delta-V, you just need a RCS system on the bus for final adjustments. As it's suborbital efficency doesn't really matter so you can use a mono-propellant or even cold gas thursters.

    >So Germany loses, right? Germany simply doesn't have the numbers

    Germany could have a 10:1 kill ratio and they would still inflict trivial casulties on the soviets because they would be outnumbered to an absurd degree. In a similar vein, Sweden 1990 could easily defeat Sweden 2026.
    >>
    >>65612739
    >Honest question, why did the Soviets struggle so badly

    Because war is very much about logistics, and supply lines into Afghanistan and inside Afghanistan are extremely hard to keep going. It was pretty much the same reason as to why America + NATO also lost in Afghanistan.
    >>
    >>65616828
    Logistics was not the primary reason for the US failure in Afghanistan, ten thousand abrams don't produced a self-sustaining Afghan state.
    >>
    >>65616624
    (You) will run out of PGMs far sooner than the Soviets will run out of AFVs. The same issue plagued NATO planners throughout the later Cold War btw, you're about 40 years behind the curve.

    >>65616828

    Afghani incompetence is not a loss for the US. Russia lost because they lost to competent Afghanis, the US lost because of incompetent Afghanis.

    The Germans see the Soviets and realize they are comrades in the same struggle. The only arms taken up are against the Western imperialists.

    >>65611964
    Yeah. Modern Germs may have the tech edge but doesn't matter because 79 USSR can saturate and of course use unconventional weapons. Does the Bundeswehr eve have enough Air to air missiles to take out the entirely of the Soviet air force?
    >>
    Modern-day Germany would have some weapons that would be extremely hard to counter by the Soviets, but it doesn’t matter because if Soviets just zerg rushed Germany with tacit understanding and acceptance that they will initially get disproportionate losses in air war, extremely painful blows from PGMs etc., they could do it. Bundeswehr just doesn’t have the numbers when one side has near-endless number of shitboxes and ”liberators” to sacrifice.
