The Ukraine is barely fighting anymore hence the non existent counter offensive. In reality Russia has already won and now nato are just sending weapons straight to Russia while decreasing their own standard of living. It’s based as shit.

That's not a progress. It is a replication. Makes sense for your assumption about AI.
But that did not resolve weird thing with 155 vs 152 shells. Can replicate 155, but can't 152? Looks like that AI is too conservative for AI in questions of replication.
That was exactly one of ideas behind unrolling a worldwide network of radiation sensors. To track movements and deployment of aything nuclear. However that was shown that it more likely show movement of nuclear garbage in large amounts than warheads.
Nuke Warheads don't leave that trace. Otherwise tell me this about Crimea? Show readings over it. This you say yes. The shells leave residue spiking atmospheric readings if they have radioactive materials inside. It causes strong atmospheric readings, as soon as they're transported outside of any other shielding? Crimea would theoretically by your same assumptions have these readings. It outfits various ships with missiles some are possibly nuclear. The ships from Murmansk, have had nuclear missiles at times, if not directly at Svestapol. The reading would therefore show on transportation, recalibration, and outfitting. Yes?
As opposed to speculating they fired and tested these shells at a facility with a gun range. Perhaps they monkeyed about with them, saying, how do we fit this ammo into other guns. I know let's take it apart and put into bullets. What if the facility had a reactor in it? The grid had been strained in warfare, it needed more power. It was camouflaged attempting to hide its operations. It was obviously full of fuel and lubricants.
Who knows? I just don't buy Ukrainian nukes like silly movie. Watched that type of fantasy movie a few times. The Soviet nukes were largely accounted for, and a few got sold. How did they get others. Made them. Maybe by taking depleted ammo and putting into rockets like good monkeys.
Seriously?
Really, Ukraine have technology for nukes from USSR, few R&D institutes was located in Ukrainian Soviet Republic, but have no skilled personnel to make them now, thanks to Western education system installed and thorough getting rid of any Soviet legacy.
So nukes bullshit could be excluded.
As for detection, thing is that low radiocative material in volume have higher influence on background than high radioactive in small volume. It is like thousands small lightbulbs over a large area vs one bright one but very small. Single bright lightbulb is easy to shadow out, while with thousands of small lightbulbs you will not see even your own shadow relatively far from that heap.
Do they have the enrichment facilities? The weapon factories? This was all Soviet tech.
The conspiracies was. It was big when the USSR split was a few blackmarket nukes and materials made it onto the open market particularly from the Ukraine and other former republics. Not all the stockpile and inventory was accounted for. Of course there's a lot of room to tell tales. There was another conspiracy not all the nukes made it out after it completely devolutioned today, there were hidden facilities still in operation. These are quite possibly fantasy movies and novels. It has been a narrative in many movies and novels.
I agree they haven't got the tech. They wouldn't need all the funding and arms and munitions if they had any other notions of manufacture and production. Besides their main industrial sector in the East is currently Russian territory outside of a few other places regionally.
Can they make nukes, if they had the materials, and facilities. Currently they don't.
I understand your point. But that signature would have spiked across Europe and from the depot in the UK to the airfield. A radio active plane, train is inbound. Beeeeeeeep. Meanwhile all the handlers would be bleeding out their arse with their hair falling out. Forget sitting in a tank with it.
Had once. Mostly research ones, not industrial, but enough to create something. Buildings was sold out long ago, but equipment could be still there in some state. It's not easy to sell such equipment. There was some attempts with Westinghouse to somehow ressurect something, but AFAIK, nothing came out from that, even for NPPs.
I didn't check that and I don't know the path to look for. Also, if such cargo didn't stay long enough in one place during transportation to leave significant trace. Even if there was some spikes, then it will be nearly indistinguishable from daily fluctuations and without knowing when and where to look for, it will be very hard to find something.
Meanwhile, there are quite a lot of strange spots with relatively high background levels over Europe according to that REMon maps. And not in France who have intensive nuclear exploitation. Didn't dig a lot, but some places look strange.
No. Gamma levels of such magnitude is not harmful for humans. You need literally put DU inside body to get noticeable damage from alpha and beta to the cells as it happened in areas where DU shells was shot and so produce dust and residents occasionally consume it with food and water.
