Russia deploys hypersonic ‘Oreshnik’ ballistic missile

This one is always my favorite. It's like they are even using different footage from different explosions. Wtf is the dome with the geometric shapes in it?

Don't forget "much of the radiation is from earth thrown up in the air from the blast"

So teh noooks are in the the dirt then which means......

NOOOOOOKS ARE REEEEEL d00d.

?????

There shall be no answers, only more questions. War on the mind by confusion or some chinese d00d.

But until then:

"MY GRAMPA WERKED ON THE MAN-HAT-TAN PROJECT d00d, TRUST ME IT'S REEEEEEL"

Threats to the US base for assisting.

The footage is like ball earth photos, synthetic looking. A crude version of CGI.

"WHY WOULD THERE BE AN INTERNATIONAL CONSPIRACY TO FAKE NOOOOOKS BRO?!?!?!?"

Cause control. Major fear porn. If they said "nooks are dropping in cleveland" followed by some shitty cell phone footage it'd be panic city.

And then we are told "we don't use noooks d00d we use hydrogen now".

So no nukes? Yes or no? But they say "nukes" all the time still? My bullshit detector is spiking.....

I got another one for you:

"We lost the tech we had developed to go to the moooooon".

Always assume a known liar is telling more lies.

Everything ‘Naza’ has ever said, including all their bullshit pictures has been a fucking lie from day one. Period.

My understanding is that these missiles and the other hypersonics Russia developed in the late 2010s are different in kind, new technology, and basically unstoppable. It is claimed that this technology far surpasses what the United States has.This could be simply hype. If anyone knows of a commentary worth reading or listening to please send it along. But really, I'm not sure how anyone can know anything given that they were just introduced.

No, they are just ballistic missiles that have multiple warheads (MIRV). Russia launched these with what seems to be inert warheads as a warning as this sort of weapon is a escalation in terms of type of weapon hierarchy....not that it is a new type all together.
Ballistic missiles are common, they go way up above the Earths atmosphere then come back down in a parabolic arc. Basically man made meteors. They have existed since WW2. German V2 rockets would hit mach 4.5 on reentry. That was the entire rocket coming back down so there's lots of drag and they would only go up about 60 miles in alt.
ICBMs go up to 2800 miles in alt, come back down at tremendous speed, launch little smaller, low drag payload vehicles so you can fit more than one warhead on a missile. These things will do mach 23 on their way down. Been around since the 70s.
Hypersonic is a pointless term when the media discusses it talking about missiles. The actual gamechanger "hypersonic" is an airbreathing, atmospheric (non ballistic/flat trajectory) aircraft or land launched highly maneuverable missile. No one has these in operation. The US has many programs developing them, and just a single one of these programs exceeds the entire annual defense budget of Russia.
Making guided missiles that go very very fast is "easy" and have been around since the 50s. Having one that is air breathing so it gets significant range advantage over a normal solid rocket motor and the ability to maneuver at those speeds is hard.

These things are underneath the nose cone of ballistic missiles. The nose cone come off in orbit, then these are released and come down like meteors.

Putin claimed it wasn't a ballistic missile. He could certainly be bluffing.

I don't think we've ever not been at war with Russia/USSR post WWII.

Proxy wars started almost immediately. And haven't stopped for long.

Zelensky said Friday that Ukraine was holding meetings with its allies about developing “new air defense systems” in response to the new threat from Russia.

I bet they are.

Now, unfortunately, Russia absolutely dominates the world with their weapons defence systems.

Game changer.

They will not be coerced into using ‘first strike nukes’ as they don’t ever need to do so.

There’s No protection against this weapon system.

Did the Biden administration discuss returning nuclear weapons to Ukraine? France24English​

The warheads are some type of solid exotic alloy. They are not themselves explosive, but rely on the kinetic energy from extreme speed for their destructive power.

 

[NowYou'rePlayingWithPower]

The kinetic energy of the claims from each warhead would have left no fragments behind to be collected. None. Zero. Nada.
Think like 80-100 fully loaded cargo ships compressed into a few square meters per warhead.

When I consider the evidence available -- the relative silence from the media, Putin smirking with his generals, the videos, statements by Ukraine and the Pentagon, military analysts , etc., I think there is little reason to doubt they have something new and something powerful. But sure, it could be bluffing. We'll all find out soon enough.

I'm going to stick with math and physics over political and pundit bs. Start with the launch location vs apogee vs time to apogee vs impact location vs time to impact, requirements of materials to handle the acceleration and friction, available fuel sources vs mass vs burnout speed, let alone anything being recoverable. It's not new tech, it's not Putin bluffing, it's just him spewing an idiotic and easily disprovable statement on par with Kim Jong-il having claimed to invent the hamburger.

So what exactly is impossible according to math and physics? What did Putin say that is easily disprovable?
