Russia deploys hypersonic missile in Ukraine….

To destroy a weapons warehouse 150 feet below grade. Still think the Russian military is still some kind of disorganized third world military? I wonder how long the billions of dollars worth of military equipment we are sending them will survive?

Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said the high-tech Kinzhal, carried by MiG-31 fighter jets, destroyed a large underground warehouse for missiles and aircraft ammunition in the village of Delyatyn, near the western Ivano-Frankivs region of Ukraine, according to multiple reports.

The Kinzhal has a range of up to 1,250 miles and flies at 10 times the speed of sound, or more than 2 miles per second, Russia claims.

No one said they’re third world but they aren’t on our level. At all.

No, it’s a little over 2.1 mi/sec.

Depends on the temperature of the airmass sound is being transmitted through. #NerdLife

I think Putin is pulling a Reagan Star Wars myth on Americans.
Demented Brandon probably believes Putin like Russia believed Reagan's BS.

Yes. Having advanced armaments does not have anything to do with being organized. Their combined arms is almost non-existent. That doesn’t mean they don’t have the hardware to flatten cities.

We actually tracked some of these missiles and some of our “experts” have said that we have no idea how they performed the way they did.

They are organized enough to go into a large country and begin to surround the major cities. They are taking out military targets without resistance. How are the Ukrainians going to get resupplied? Russia owns the air. They will obtain a victory by the end of April. They could be leveling cities but are taking a more controlled approach.
Hypersonic missiles would make easy work of our aircraft carriers. The US does not have a viable solution to this type of weaponry.

“Hypersonic weapons are extremely difficult to detect and counter given these weapons’ speed, maneuverability, low flight paths, and unpredictable trajectories,” NORAD commander Gen. Glen VanHerck told CTVNews.ca. “Hypersonic weapons challenge NORAD’s ability to provide threat warning and attack assessments for Canada and the United States.”

Can't knock that one down with a patriot missile or iron dome.

Watched a "supposedly" video of that missile impact but in that video no signs of secondary explosions indicating destruction of underground munitions.
150 feet is a lot of earth and what ever other materials are present for a single missile to travel and deliver full destructive capability.

Umm, holy hell where to even start with this.
Victory by end of april? Define the victory conditions? All of ukraine? The sepratists regions? Sepratists regions plus a land bridge between them? New government? Zelensky stays but loses some land? They could very well achieve victory tomorrow depending on what goals they actually want to accomplish.
Taking out military targets without resistance? Then why havent they taken locations they’ve been attacking since the start? Oh… probably because there is resistance, no? Or are you claiming that there is no resistance anywhere because 1 hypersonic missle was used and they couldnt stop it?
How are the Ukrainians going to get resupplied? Have you not seen the hundreds of russian supply vehicles on fire? It took them 3 weeks to figure out they need to protect their supply lines. By all accounts, the Russians are having a hell of a time trying to sustain supply lines to the front. That may improve moving forward after their current strategic pause.
Russia owns the air… except when they dont and the ukrainians bomb a dozen of their helicopters sitting at the Kherson airport like 2 days ago.
ETA: They COULD be flattening cities? They area, and still haven't taken Mariupol

Keep watching the news and try to not use any common sense. Russia is far superior to Ukraine.
Time will prove me to be correct.
Victory is when Zelenskyy gives into Russia’s demands.

I think a lot of people don’t understand Russia wants to take over Ukraine and keep their citizens. It’s a lot harder to take over a country then to destroy it . The same people who say this war shows Russia is weak are the same ones that don’t care about Biden’s failed Afghanistan exit.

Russia’s demands have moved drastically since the start.
So you’re alrdy admitting that you’ll just be moving the goal posts to whatever the final settlement is.
I never claimed Ukraine to be “superior” so not sure where you’re pulling that strawman from.
I’ve already said Russia could win tomorrow depending on what it finds an acceptable settlement. They could win next week too, and the week after that… time will prove me to be correct.
See how easy it is to be as smugly retarded as you?

We are working on non-nuclear hypersonic devices. But we're not there yet. I read maybe a one device in 2022 and 2023 at the earliest.

I believe Russian hypersonic missiles about as much as I believe in Chinese quantum radar.
