Russia used a dagger hypersonic missile (hereinafter referred to as a dagger) to destroy a large underground missile and aviation ammunition depot in the Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast of Ukraine, which was the first time that mankind used hypersonic missiles in war.
The dagger "has a range of more than 2,000 kilometers and can reach a speed of Mach 10-12, which is 10-12 times the speed of sound." The Tu-22M bomber or MiG-31 fighter can carry "daggers", of which the Tu-22M bombers can carry four "daggers".
The "dagger" has a variable trajectory at each flight stage, performs evasive actions, and is so fast that no defense system in the world can stop it.
The "dagger" can carry nuclear warheads, but not long before the start of the Russo-Ukrainian War, China, the United States, Russia, Britain, France, and the five permanent members of the United Nations jointly declared: avoid war between nuclear-weapon states.
We do not consider direct war between the five permanents, nor do we consider nuclear war, but only look at the problem from the performance of the "dagger".
The original intention of the "dagger" was to attack large aircraft carriers, to put it bluntly, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the United States. Since no defense system can intercept, as long as the "dagger" is accurate enough to really hit the US aircraft carrier, it is not necessary to carry a nuclear warhead, and the nuclear reactor on the US aircraft carrier is also very likely to leak, and its radiation effect is enough to scare away the surrounding US military.
In 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred in the sea about 130 kilometers east of Japan, accompanied by a tsunami, which triggered a series of explosions at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. At that time, the USS Ronald Reagan of the US Seventh Fleet was about 160 kilometers east of the nuclear power plant, and the detectors on the aircraft carrier alerted the US military and found that the helicopter in the air was contaminated with radiation. The U.S. aircraft carrier fleet not only fled quickly, but also inspected the soldiers on the 3 helicopters and found that all of them were exposed to nuclear radiation, but fortunately they were found in time and suffered low levels of radiation.
At the same time, the United States evacuated diplomats and their dependents in Japan, the German Embassy in Tokyo moved all its librarians to Osaka, and the French rescue team seriously abandoned rescue work due to the nuclear leak.
Once a nuclear leak occurs, people's instinctive reaction must be to take the best policy.
The countries that are very likely to cause nuclear leakage in war are France, Japan and other countries that are not very large and nuclear power is piled up.
France generates 70.6% of the country's nuclear power generation. Japan also reached 30 percent before Fukushima nuclear radiation, and later declined.
France's nuclear power plants are not concentrated in a certain place, but distributed throughout the country. If France gets involved in a war and the other side intentionally or unintentionally hits the nuclear power plant, France itself will suffocate. Moreover, many French nuclear power plants are deployed near the border, and Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy will be unlucky.
France's neighbor, Germany, is prescient, with nuclear power peaking at 22.4 percent in 2010 and falling to 13.3 percent in 2021. If Germany had no nuclear power at all, its ability to resist beatings in war would have increased dramatically.
Can France reduce nuclear power? Hard. At least 2,500 companies in France are involved in nuclear power, and there are hundreds of thousands of employees in related industries, which has a huge impact. After the denuclearization, France will have to buy oil or natural gas at a high price to replace nuclear power, and France cannot afford it economically. Germany has planned to go to nuclear power in recent years, and it is still the leader of the EUROPEAN Union economically, which is not easy.
This time, Ukraine's underground arsenal, located in the Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast in western Ukraine, russia's purpose is mainly to deter NATO, as long as the weapons enter Ukraine, even if hidden underground, they will be destroyed. Last time, 8 high-precision long-range missiles from Russia blew up the mercenary base in Lviv Region, which was a deterrent to mercenaries. The two air strikes were in western Ukraine, not far from Poland, which gave great shock to EU countries, especially france, which is a nuclear power pile, really fighting a world war, and the least resistant to beating is France.
The "dagger" is a national treasure of Russia, and the United States is also developing similar weapons, but the process is not up to the level of "dagger". The mainland's DF-17 hypersonic ballistic missile can be compared with the "dagger" to prevent the US aircraft carrier from doing whatever it wants in the mainland's territorial waters, and the country's weapon is also a weapon.
