Ukraine vs Fallout Pre-War America

[Scooby Doo]

Nolan McNamara: "Veronica. I hope-"
Veronica Santangelo: "I brought you a present. We unlocked the secret of HELIOS One."
Nolan McNamara: "What? Wonderful news!"
Veronica Santangelo: "No. It's not. ARCHIMEDES II is an orbital laser. Effective only outdoors in a limited radius and requiring a long recharge."

I'm pretty sure limited radius probably in reference to the blast radius you can use Eulicid in Zion which is in a different state.

It wouldn't make sense for it to be a completed weapon if it was only useable in New Vegas City.

Or they just couldn't be bothered making unique scripts to affect the C-Finder in those DLC's. XDDD
The weapon is buggy enough in vanilla!

It is buggy but I wouldn't say it has any more relevancy than the invincible NCR Ranger that keeps respawning when killed 😂

Anyway I'm 100% they can improve Archmides pretty easily, although if they want something quicker they can use the OP invincible Hardlight army and Cloud from Dead Money


If two people can do this in a "few" years imagine the entire US Government.

Oh right I forgot about the invulnerable holograms...
Man NV DLC's were a headspin for the franchise lmao.

Honestly Invulnerable Holograms and nigh Unstoppable Toxic Mist is the most broken offensive technology they could utilize.

No amount of ATGM gonna kill a hologram soldier and one rocket full of the Cloud would push people inside the most fortified positions out in hours.

I dunno if Pre-War American army has those at it's disposal though, it's all Big MT black-tech in private hands.

 

[Agent23]

Hmm could they take it sooner if they use some prototype Chameleon death claws at night?

Invisible cold blooded reptiles so infrared is useless and they're already near invisible to the naked eye so it'd be hard to see them at night before they close the distance.

Mone fields and old fashioned trip wieres might be enough to get them detected.

Better go with the eyebot with built in stealth boy approach.

Death Claws are smart they'd just be careful not to set the traps off

Deathclaws are smart for an animal, but they're still just animals. They happily run into mines in all the games.
Now TALKING deathclaws, THOSE could avoid mines. But they're also exclusively post-war.

Fine then deploy the Cazador's.

Those are pre-war apparently, so yup! You could just release a shitload of murder-wasps on the Ukrainians.

With them being one of the fastest creatures in New Vegas so think their speed should be around

+30 Mph cause they're faster than the Blue Heelers in game.

Let's say the top speed is 50 mph, so 22 meters per second. With a hord of a hundred they could overwhelm most positions by reaching them in just a minute

They are rather fragile though, almost any firearm puts em down quick.

Hmm just give them some smoke screen cover lol

What about Mister House Securitrons?
NCR says one Securitron = NCR Platoon

"The bots have enough firepower to arm a full platoon."

Apparently Securitron bodies is made out of Titanium and they can self repair.

Its hard to say if House would help the US government against Ukraine.

What if they said they'd give him a tax break for helping? 🤭

 

[Ixian]

Its hard to say if House would help the US government against Ukraine.

He was already helping them. His tech and industrial capabilities were heavily used by the pre-war US government.

Of course he knew nuclear war was coming and was saving the best for himself, in this scenario that isn't an issue.

Mr House sort of hates Governments and taxes, he worked with the US Government because as you say, he knew what was coming, and the best way to get shitloads of funding is working with the head honchos.

Hmm if you were a Pre-War General launching an invasion into Ukraine what troop/army composition would you use to win?

Try to go for least amount of troops/manpower/resources needed.
