It might result in the sudden destruction of the rail and road bridge at Kerch among other very painful consequences for the Russians. Precision strikes on them, even in Russia, or just give Ukraine a thousand cruise missiles to do with as it pleases and that's just for starters. Come pick up the M1 tanks and whatever else you want in western Poland, if Vlad thought he has problems now...
If Ukrain widens the conflict to Russian territory to any great extent will probably cause it to be more than a "special operation" and into a real war which would probably see weapons like tactical nukes used. Enough Russian targets inside of Ukraine to take out. It would be nice to see Ukraine decimate a place in Russia but that might just spark something bigger. If Russia was ruled by a regular government rather than the Russian mob they would be more hesitent to slash and burn.

In eastern Ukraine, it's wide open spaces, both a problem and opportunity. It's as easy to make killer suicide drones as it is to order containerloads of foam RC planes from China, they will make them to your design, even install the flight control computers, GPS and do almost everything else, except the programming and plastic explosive warhead. Good enough for Russians apparently!
And given time the Russians can order up their own.

Using the nukemap simulator I dropped the smallest US device on our airport. Resulted in 30 fatalities and 190 injuries. Selected surface rather than airburst to limit the damage. If the Russians had to take out an area that they could not otherwise, like the steelworks they could get the job done without starting a nuclear war. How people would feel about it? It would be first to break the taboo of using nukes for everyday combat but it probably would not cause a nuclear power to retaliate for Ukraine.
Is that the 0.3kt setting on the B61?

Crimea Flashpoint I Why Ukraine May Target Europe's Longest Bridge & Why Kerch Is Vital For Putin


The fresh influx of Western weaponry into Ukraine has revived calls for a possible Ukrainian airstrike on the strategically important Crimean Bridge. The Crimean Bridge over the Strait of Kerch has linked Crimea to the Russian mainland since 2018. Crimea became a part of Ukraine after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 but was annexed by Russia in 2014. Watch the video to know more.

A dozen off the 600 drones mounted on a small boat to get them close enough and then take out the arches.

Ukraine battered again; Zelenskyy says US officials to visit
Russian forces in Ukraine tried to storm a steel plant housing soldiers and civilians in the southern city of Mariupol on Saturday in an attempt to crush the last pocket of resistance in a place of deep symbolic and strategic value to Moscow, Ukrainian officials said.

In attacks on the eve of Orthodox Easter, Russian forces pounded cities and towns in southern and eastern Ukraine.

The fate of the Ukrainians in the sprawling and beseiged seaside steel mill in Mariupol, where Russia says its forces have taken the rest of the city, wasn’t immediately clear. Earlier Saturday, a Ukrainian military unit released a video reportedly taken two days earlier in which women and children holed up underground, some for as long as two months, said they longed to see the sun.

Russia’s Putin signs bill giving ex-presidents lifetime immunity
Bill gives former presidents and their families immunity from prosecution for crimes committed during their lifetime.

President Vladimir Putin has signed a law granting former Russian presidents expanded immunity from prosecution and allowing them to become senators for life in the upper house of Parliament once they leave the Kremlin.

The new law follows sweeping reforms of Russia’s political system initiated by Putin this year. Among other things, it allows him to run for two more six-year terms in the Kremlin if he chooses.


Trump would just drool over a lifetime get out of jail card.

President Vladimir Putin has signed a law granting former Russian presidents expanded immunity from prosecution and allowing them to become senators for life in the upper house of Parliament once they leave the Kremlin.

The new law follows sweeping reforms of Russia’s political system initiated by Putin this year. Among other things, it allows him to run for two more six-year terms in the Kremlin if he chooses.

The legislation was part of constitutional amendments that were approved this summer in a nationwide vote that allowed Putin to remain president until 2036. He would otherwise have had to step down in 2024.

The reforms are being parsed for clues as to what Putin, 68, may do at the end of his current term, which is his second consecutive term and his fourth overall.

Former presidents were already entitled to immunity from prosecution for crimes committed while in office, but the new law grants them lifelong immunity and says they cannot be arrested, searched, questioned or prosecuted.

The new legislation also makes it harder to revoke a former president’s immunity.

Among other things, the process involves the upper house of Parliament voting overwhelmingly to revoke it on the strength of accusations by the lower house that the president has committed treason or another serious crime.

The other laws signed by Putin allow presidents to name up to 30 senators to the Federation Council, Russia’s upper house, and to join the Council themselves once they have left office.

On Tuesday, the lower house State Duma also passed legislation making information about employees of Russia’s judicial system, law enforcement and regulatory and military bodies confidential.

The bill now requires Putin’s signature to become law, a step that is considered a formality.

It comes a day after opposition figure Alexey Navalny said he telephoned an alleged security agent and tricked him into admitting the Federal Security Service (FSB) tried to kill him in August by poisoning.

Navalny said he had gained access to the security agent’s phone number from leaked logs and travel records.

The Kremlin critic later published the agent’s alleged address and phone number, actions that would become illegal under the newly proposed legislation.

Looks like he is worried about his old age. I'm hoping that is not going to be one of his problems.

he's 68 and has visited a lot of nuclear sites...i would be very surprised if he lasts another 12 years. i still wouldn't be surprised if it came out that he has some kind of cancer of other chemical/radiation linked illness, and is trying to go out in a blaze of glory and cement russia as a superpower again, but he done seriously fucked that up....

So even if the rubble stops at Putin there is nothing to charge him with. Normally you could vote him out I guess, well, maybe not.

Those new general killer drones perhaps? If the third one croaks, that might be 10 Russian generals so far! They order the war crimes and massacres, so good riddance and paralyzing the Russian command is good too. This was in the south and a great opportunity to launch an attack, while they are stunned and confused.

Aren't the Mariupol defenders holding out in nuclear bunkers though?
