    So CNN is bleating the usual cope. Russia "is running out" or "does not have enough". These retards are in total denial about Russian production capacity.
    Russian can make enough of these new missiles to matter. NATzO is now at the Biden decrepitude stage where it can barely wipe its ass.

    Earlier in the day, President Vladimir Putin said that Russia fired a non-nuclear hypersonic version of a ballistic missile, striking a Ukrainian arms manufacturer in the city of Dnepropetrovsk in response to Kiev's use of US and UK longer-range weapons to strike Russian territory.

    Surely there was a target closer to Kiev to demonstrate this weapon. Something anyone in Kiev, including the MOD , govt and embassies would have heard with their own ears.

    Why do the poor saps on the outskirts always have to feel the brunt of it for the decisions being made in Kiev ? While life goes on like in any other European city, in Kiev.

    Second of all, there are no NATO facilities in the Ukraine.
    There are undeclared NATO facilities and they were hit in the past with casualties.
    And it doesn´t matter if Russia retaliates or not, because the mad politicians in the west will see either reaction as a sign to escalate further.
    Problem for them is that they reached the end of their escalation ladder, except nukes.

    An Iskander could have been used, with multiple warheads and an improved range.
    Considering the size and weight of Iskander both at the same time is impossible to achieve.
    Only way would be the use of totally new engine types.

    It’s unclear who she was speaking with or whether the call was prearranged.
    She is no Miller or that stupid Admiral. Zakharova is way to clever to make such a mistake, it was a deliberate mocking.

    The last time I have read about kinetic bombardment, was Star risk by Chris Bunch ...
    Peter F. Hamilton, Salvation Sequence/Nights Dawn

    They were 6 independently targeting RVs each hitting the same point target in a demonstration of insane precision.
    Propably some version of Avangard.

    Our forces are advancing successfully along the entire line of contact.
    That´s the main point. As long as that doesn´t change we won´t see a nuclear strike by Russia.

    Looks like Putin's new Oreshnik MRBM will be tested some more!
    Bankova, with warning to the public.

    Russia did not fire an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM)
    That´s what President Putin said, morons.

    hey have also been bolstered by thousands of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's troops
    They always forget the Martian troops. Racists!

    The head of state also called the use of "Oreshnik" a response to the American plans to produce and deploy medium- and shorter-range missiles.
    Compare this missile to the non-existent "Dark Eagle" or the modified SM-6. lol1

    Lmao so funny Russia has rods of God and the west has… dial a yield lmfao

    Striking a facility used to make weapons is fine, the big question is why wasn't this done the second they found out about it.

    Putin just said Redzikowo is a target and countries facilities who arm Ukraine are targets

    The next strike will probably involve hitting western countries if Russia gets hit

    The conventional rods give Russia flexibility to hit the west with impunity

    The west like Israel can fly a symbolic retaliation mission and hit some warehouses

    But Russia like Iran would dominate the informational effect with these stunning weapons

    Israel did the same , after a good slap they shut the **** up and went back to dealing with hezbollah

    Samson option went in the ass

    NATO like Israel will piss off after a good slap

    Or did they nuke Iran? Laughing

    It’s quite predictable, NATO is not a brazen as Israel

    If Israel could be scared off with a couple of ballistics , NATO will too

    Acting like this missile changes thing's is delusional, the Russians already have longer range stuff.

    ^ This is why the embassies are such an ideal target right now. They sit in the center of a ven diagram between Ukraine territory and Nato territory.

    The western media is so pathetic, there is no words.

    It’s a conventional option to respond to western enabling of Ukraine

    True promise is a perfect analogue , Israelis was killing IRGC officers in Syria, assassinating Iranian diplomats and scientists and using proxies as a mask like the west does with Ukraine

    Eventually true promise came and 200 missiles leveled nevatim and many Israeli bases

    Going off basic escalation, Israel would have nuked Iran right there and then, but they didn’t -

    USN didn’t launch a massive attack on Iran either because it would mean the end of US presence in Middle East

    So we know the US escalation limit , symbolic strikes and then stop, because they cannot fight a wider war

    True promise exposed the limits of the US and its proxies

    That’s why I advocate for conventional strikes on NATO territory to end strikes on Russia

    It worked for Iran , it will work for Russia

    A BM with 6 warheads, i don't get the hype is it just an average BM or they mean that the warheads have separate engines that accelerate to mach 10 downwards to the atmosphere which of course can be considered a brand-new idea because any warhead coming down on earth usually slows down.

    There was no warhead, it was armed with MIRVs, of there was a warhead you would have seen big explosions

    Of there was some massive kinetic blast you would have seen waves etc,

    There was no HE.

    There are couple of reasons. First even though Russia can produce a lot of missiles the supply is not infinite which leads target priorization. Second, the amount of missile capable doing enough damage required to destroy this fortification has been too much to justify it. Third , they maybe wanted capture the plant realtively intact. It is Russians, who are rebuilding these areas.

    While the Russian civilization is humane.

    They have traversed East Germany from a conquered, raped and humiliated stated into best trusted ally in a decade.
    They have made Chechens the most Russia loving and devoted society in a decade after a civil war that decimated its population.

    They won't do  more harm than needed to the regular Ukrainians, even at the expense of their own blood.

    Shocking from the "western values" perspective ... but that is a way they are.

    They can be irresponsible cruel, and shocking mercifully - same time.

    Luckily, at Putin's shift, they follow the second.

    Id Dima would have been in the same shoes .. well ..

    No, I am calling for civilians to stay home. The worst thing about war is that no matter how hard you try to avoid it, innocent people end up getting killed. I want to do everything to prevent people from dying including soldiers and even mercs although honestly mercs are scum and I would have them shot on sight. However, I also want a very large and sweeping message sent that if you are driving, flying, or shipping, or railroading in supplies to Ukraine you die. If you are in Kiev or a consulate in Odessa, Kharkov, Lvov etc to serve as a viceroy, you die. If you are a merc or special op or business exec and you want to grab a bite to eat at a posh restaurant or sleep with or without a whore in some hotel you die. No foreign leader or celeb should want to ever visit Ukraine without knowing their life is possibly over.

    Ukraine under the current regime should not have an economy. It shouldn't have a military, and it should not have commerce. Bury its economy, leave its borders open to immigration, as long as Ukrainian civilians and soldiers can pass background checks and take loyalty oaths give them Russian passports. Germany 1945 to 1948 did not have these and by the early 1950s east and west were being rebuilt. There will be a need to build up a civil service and society for the future to help rebuild a new and democratic Ukraine at NATO expense. Oh yes, the territories that join Russia will be rebuilt at Russian expense but Malorussia will be rebuilt with funds seized from NATO.

    It was symbolism, and impactful to the Israeli citizenry

    How do you think it would go with Europeans?

    The ayatollah should be dead , Bushehr and Natanz should be destroyed by all accounts

    A full scale launch of Jericho ICBM with Popeye SLCM should have happened with Arleigh Burkes spamming tomahawks and ending Iranian state

    But it didn’t happen -

    The reason is simple, there is a limit to how much escalation the US can afford

    I don’t say this to bluff, I say it with the full confidence of having witnessed the Israeli Iranian missile exchanges

    The US doesn’t want a wider war, they want to push with as little consequence and hold on to their influence

    They won’t risk a big war

    All it takes to dissuade the US is to hit them and their proxies back and let them calculate to what extent they can push

    It’s all evidential , and the Iranians figured that out

    Many said it’s best not to retaliate, be patient and stay the course, but the IRGC understood the US needed to be pushed back

    I think Russia has drawn the same conclusion and what consequence is there?

    The US was already killing Russian and Iranian leaders and troops and hitting them

    Hitting US proxies is the first rung, then their bases and eventually them proper should it come to it

    But it won’t, because it’s all been factored into their thinking already

    Again Iran figured nothing out, they warned Israel because Iran didn't want eaclate but it had to look like it was reacting.

    Israel followed suit because they are busy with Hamas nor can they Israeli afford a war with Iran.

    Your basis is on crack, of Iran didn't warn Israeli then sure maybe you have a point but you don't at all.

    Israel is doing the exact same stuff it does before, literally nothing changed.

    And we have told Iran for over 20 years if you attack Iran and start a war we aren't doing shit, just like we told Turkey if they attack Russia we aren't helping them.

    We will only acted if we are attackes and Russia attacking us would trigger that period

    How the hell one can say a shit of those crappy videos filmed far away ground level? If the explosion happened undergound you do not see much. Obviously you were there, and inspected the damage. I don't know was one commentator on one telegram channel real or not, but nothing like that has never happened even though missile strikse has been before. If there were no significant damage, we see that tomorrow MSM satellite images and so on. If news are like this telegraph shit you can be sure that something very bad happened there. Russia wants also conventional capabilities as Iskander, Kinzhal, Oniks, etc show. You are only jealous, cause your mightiest country in the universe can't make aeroplane which fly even though you are pouring 1.5 trillion on it. When did USA reveal new missile? Tomahawk 1980?, ATACMS 1985?, AMRAAM 1990?. What actually new weapon systems MIC of the states has produced recently which are not failures?

    The US controls Israeli actions, you attribute to much agency to the proxy

    Just like Ukraine

    US chooses the target , the weapons and the course of action , then they pretend they don’t have control over those crazy proxies

    US psychology is maximum reward for minimal consequence

    Should NATO get hit, the US won’t do much except a symbolic strike to maintain their image

    Because that’s what it boils down to

    It’s hold and strike strategy

    But the US won’t escalate into a wider war, they can neither afford it, or supply it

    Resistance is figuring that out, and the pushback will increase , the US is in scorched earth retreat mode

    Not fit to fight a large war or risk its own economy and population

    IMO too much caution was used with the US, but they aren’t some crazy suicidal guy, they just use intimidation and reputation to force their opponents to blink

    The opponent is only now realizing the US can’t take a punch

    Putin reported successful testing of the newest missile "Oreshnik"

    https://ria.ru/20241121/raketa-1985083943.html
    (attention not Oreshkin lol1 lol1 lol1 )

    MOSCOW, November 21 — RIA Novosti. Russian troops have successfully tested the latest ballistic missile, Oreshnik, in the SVO zone, Vladimir Putin reported.
    «
    "One of the newest Russian medium-range missile systems was tested in combat conditions. In this case, with a ballistic missile in a non-nuclear hypersonic warhead, our missilemen called it "Oreshnik," he noted.

    +++

    Putin also noted that modern air defense systems cannot intercept Oreshnik missiles, since they attack targets at a speed of 10 Machs, or 2.5-3 kilometers per second. According to him, there are currently no means of counteracting such weapons.

    +++

    "The targets to be hit during further tests of our newest missile systems will be determined by us based on the threats to the security of the Russian Federation," he said.

    Putin added that Russia would offer in advance to civilians in Ukraine and citizens of other friendly states to leave the zones of possible destruction when struck by systems such as Oreshnik. He stressed that for humanitarian reasons this would happen openly, publicly and without fear of opposition from Kiev.

    From another press article on this topic.

    https://ria.ru/20241121/raketa-1985091076.html?in=t


    According to the president, this is a medium-range ballistic missile with hypersonic warheads. The speed is two to three kilometers per second. It is guaranteed to overcome any air defense and missile defense system.
    "Oreshnik", judging by the video of the night strike published on the Internet, is equipped with a multiple independently targetable warhead.
