I think the obvious implication with Red Rush is that he has super powerful punches due to his speed. Main issue with Red Rush is how fast he was.
We have no clue on how fast Red Rush was. What we do know is Nolan is FTL and Red Rush was faster. We have no lifting fts from Red Rush but what we do have is him hurting Nolan, the same Nolan that tanked a nuclear blast. What does this mean? Red Rush is powerful AF since he did more damage to Nolan than a nuclear ongoing blast and out reacted Nolan, someone who has FTL speed fts.

Reaching FTL speeds after a period of acceleration in space doesn't mean you can exceed bullet speed within battle range.
Acceleration and perception speed determine battle speed.

So Red Tornado only strength ft is hurting Nolan which means he's pretty freaking strong. Remember, Nolan tanked a nuke and went on to withstand an ongoing attack from it. Red Tornado punches >>>>>>this attack.../wzFO7aKIhc4?si=0TLx5EBCMB5ms2uw
That wasn't a nuke, it was a super beam cannon. If you look at the damage to the surrounding area, it's less than what a nuke would have done.

Hush H1. He's FTL ONLY after spending time accelerating
No one reaches FTL speeds instantaneously; they must first accelerate to those speeds.
The ability to eventually reach FTL speeds is irrelevant in a combat scenario.
Superman perceived Flash while he was moving relative to propagating lightning.

It was an extremely powerful attack and a great feat for Nolan, but it wasn't a nuke. You see dead birds falling afterward, those birds would have been vaporized if a nuke went off that close to them.
I think the implication there was the radiation of a nuke type attack killing anything close by. At least thats how I read it.
But yeah seemed like a more compact/focused blast than a nuke.
The point of this is Red Rush did far more damage than that attack which shows just how powerful he was tbh (let's not forget Nolan flying so fast that it was vaporizing continents and he tanked the pressure, heat, etc... that was generated by the attack). RR was an attempt at lowballing when it just shows how powerful the character truly is. Doesn't even matter since Conquest would piss on Nolan.
