Maybe but he did base it on interviews with some people that allegedly worked there and some declassified documents.
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

Well, Lina, since you apparently lack any other marketable skills perhaps you could join the Russian army…

Reports of a Japanese weapon test
On October 2, 1946 the Atlanta Constitution published a story by reporter David Snell,[21] who had been an investigator with the 24th Criminal Investigation Detachment in Korea after the war, which alleged that the Japanese had successfully tested a nuclear weapon near Hungnam (Konan) before the town was captured by the Soviets. He said that he had received his information at Seoul in September 1945 from a Japanese officer to whom he gave the pseudonym of Captain Wakabayashi, who had been in charge of counter-intelligence at Hungnam.[22][23][24] SCAP officials, who were responsible for strict censorship of all information about Japan's wartime interest in nuclear physics,[25] were dismissive of Snell's report.Under the 1947-48 investigation, comments were sought from Japanese scientists who would or should have known about such a project. Further doubt is cast on Snell's story by the lack of evidence of large numbers of Japanese scientists leaving Japan for Korea and never returning.[23] Snell's statements were repeated by Robert K. Wilcox in his 1985 book Japan's Secret War: Japan's Race Against Time to Build Its Own Atomic Bomb. The book also included what Wilcox stated was new evidence from intelligence material which indicated the Japanese might have had an atomic program at Hungnam.[26] These specific reports were dismissed in a review of the book by Department of Energy employee Roger M. Anders which was published in the journal Military Affairs,[27] an article written by two historians of science in the journal Isis[28] and another article in the journal Intelligence and National Security.[29]
In 1946 talking about his wartime efforts Arakatsu said he was making "tremendous strides" towards making an atomic bomb and that the Soviet Union probably already had one.[30]

In short, the stakes are enormous, and with them the dangers. And yet there is good news in the remarkable solidarity and decisiveness of the liberal democracies, in Europe and outside it. The roles of Australia and Japan in responding to the Russian invasion are no less significant than those of Britain or France. In that respect, Ukraine 2022 is not Czechoslovakia 1938, not only because it is fighting ferociously but because the democracies are with it in material as well as moral ways. It differs, too, in that this time the aggressor is not Europe’s most advanced economy but one of its least; its military is not the fearsomely effective Wehrmacht but a badly led, semi-competent, if well-armed, horde better suited for and inclined to the massacre of civilians than a fight against its peers. Russia’s failure to command the air, its stalled armored columns, the smoking ruins of its tanks and armored personnel carriers all testify to the Russian army’s weakness. So too does the continuation in office of the long-serving chief of general staff and defense minister who planned and led this operation, a debacle in the face of every advantage of positioning, timing, and material superiority.
The Strategy That Can Defeat Putin
The U.S.-led coalition of liberal-democratic states should pursue three objectives.www.theatlantic.com
Sorry for the blunt response-it caught me off guard.

Wow, this is pretty nuts. Note, these are from RUSSIA-reported loss lists!!
I was always told that helicopters have to combat two opposing laws of physics to stay in the air. At any rate. They crash more.
Truth time. How many of You thought that video was fake because it was dated July of 2022?
except for the tweet you sharedthat literally said #istandforrussia and had Putin approved Russian propaganda as the subject of the tweet.

Really starting to look like Russia fell into a trap game.
And Papadapapoopypants tweeted that 3 days ago
Wow... translation here for those interested. another Russian atrocity documented
Edit to add - LOL at his comments about getting a drink and passing out which I assume means alcohol. I'm not sure how I'd react in this situation but I don't think it would be to drink to the point of passing out.
Bro, Russia is going to cut off the internet. Twitch wasn’t going to pay you, anyway.
You mean I can’t trust Papadapolous?
My question was rhetorical, but re-reading it I see why you would think I was actually asking a question. Anyway, I suspect you are right about their missiles. Neither one of us has Top-Secret clearence though (or at least I'm guessing you don't), so there likely is a lot more information on it. I suspect our intelligence agencies are well aware of their capabilities though.
Thugs, no defense.
Same reply as last time.
Lets see if you duck the questions again:
Did you pay any attention to what the German politician said?
I don’t care a whit about a hashtag. Never paid attention to it.
Is this one of those things where if you forward a piece information some people assume that can only mean 100% alignment with the information in question?
For example, if your college professor explains the rationale Hitler laid out, and then followed, in his path to war, is your assumption the person relaying this information to you not only endorses Hitler’s reasons, but probably flies the swastika at home?
Are you that simple?
Plus helicopters operate much closer to enemy contact than planes do. They get attacked far more often. I'm betting that most (all?) of the helicopters shot down were Blackhawks or huey's. Many of them probably weren't even carrying weapons beyond the ones the soldiers were carrying.
It's weird that so many of the best people are in bed with Putin's regime.
