re: UK Sends MORE Tanks to Ukraine & Troops to Train Ukrainian Forces
Vladimir Putin Deploys HUGE NUKE Capable Weapon Dubbed Sledgehammer to Ukraine
The 2S4 Tulip self-propelled mortar is 240mm wide and is capable of firing nuclear bombs, but it is likely this would be limited to 'micro-nukes' aimed at destroying an area the size of a football stadium
Searching For Civilians Snatched by Russia
Away from the frontline, Ukrainian and Russian human rights commissioners are meeting this week in Turkey to discuss further prisoner of war exchanges.
BBC News.11 JAN 2023
Russian forces suffering massive frontline losses have deployed the world’s largest nuke-capable mortar weapon to the battlefield.
Dubbed “the Sledgehammer” the 2S4 Tulip - or Tyulpan - self-propelled mortar is 240mm wide - twice the size of NATO mortars which are 120mm.
Transported on its own tracks, it has a range of 12 miles and is used to obliterate large fortifications, military equipment, or troop positions.
It is capable of firing nuclear bombs, although it is likely this would be limited to “micro-nukes” aimed at destroying an area the size of a football stadium.
The heavy mortar weapon has already seen service in Afghanistan, Chechnya and Syria, with devastating effects.
It can also fire armour piercing, laser-guided, and outlawed cluster munitions, as well as tactical nuclear weapons.
Moscow’s commanders are desperately trying to hold back a ferocious counter-offensive by Ukraine’s forces all along the eastern front.
