Russian TV piece showing how Russian tanks could invade Berlin, Helsinki, Tallinn, Warsaw, Berlin - and even send Russian warships up the Thames...
This has to be a joke, on so many levels...
"Warsaw is too simple. From Moscow to Poland’s capital there are a mere 1300 kilometres. A T-90 tank, for example, would get to the suburbs in less than a day after setting out. By that time airborne forces – they need only two hours to be moved there – would have time to hold a rehearsal, cook festive porridge and meat and iron their uniforms. Does it feel like we haven’t been in Berlin for a long time? May 9 is an excellent opportunity for a friendly visit. 1800 kilometres for a modern army is no distance, especially since many Russian officers know Germany pretty well, they won’t even need a map. Prague, Helsinki, Vilnius, Tallin, Riga – they’re altogether nearby. Festive Russian soldiers could get to half those cities on foot”.

When your press is under almost total government control this is the sort of shit you start believing - I'm more afraid than amused

Anyway, why would they send a T90 all the way to Berlin? If you're going to start a war surely you'd send both of them?

T90? Surely -
- a T1000 is the state of the art these days. Nothing against the T90 but it doesn't do that cool "liquid metal" thing and wasn't played by Robert Patrick.
