But you do admit dropping MOAB has no relation to democracy or bringing it: it is a tool of modern warfare, just like FOAB (which was not developed - after MOAB - without good reason, just like e.g. shortrange thermobaric rockets of TOS system).It is not Russia's rationality is questionable right now
I wish Westerners return to the good old colonial rhetoric and stop pretending that their wars have something common with the spread of law and democracy.
So, you image was out of place here. It suggests things that aren't there.
Democracy is primarily a political system while communism is primarily an economic system. The 1993 constitution declares Russia a democratic, federative, law-based state with a republican form of government.
It doesn't matter. TOS-1 does the same thing, just in a different way.FOAB seems to be more less propaganda stunt like the Tsar bomb.
TOS-1s were first used in combat in Afghanistan’s Panjshir valley by the Soviet Union. Later, they were prominently used in the Battle of Grozny in 1999 by the Russian Army.
TOS-1As were first used in combat in Iraq in the recapture of Jurf Al Sakhar on October 24, 2014 from ISIL forces.
The OSCE reported in September 2015 that the TOS-1 was sighted in a rebel training area in eastern Ukraine.
The TOS-1 was used in Syria on October 10, 2015 by Syrian Army forces against rebel forces in Hama.
Azerbaijan used the TOS-1A against the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army on April 4, 2016. Azerbaijan lost 1 system that same day.
It was used again by the Syrian army in early 2017 in the area of Palmyra.
