Russia has begun mass production of mobile bomb shelters that can protect against a variety of man-made threats and natural disasters including radiation and shockwaves, the emergency ministry’s research institute said.

The “KUB-M” shelter looks like a reinforced shipping container. It can give some protection against radiation, shrapnel, debris and fires and can be deployed in Russia’s vast northern permafrost, according to the state institute.

The standard unit accommodates 54 people but additional modules can be added, the institute said.

    Russia can launch one nuke into space and take out USA power grid. No radiation at ground level.

      What does that have to do with radiation-resistant mobile bomb shelters?

      Im tired of this shit talk. Russia can’t even push its border consistently more than 100 km from its place fighting a minor state. They can’t do shit.

      Yeah, EMPs aren’t hard to do. Pretty much anybody could do that to anybody. You don’t need a nuke for it.
