Kyiv’s Security Service salvaged the remains of the new hypersonic ballistic missile Russia fired at central Ukraine as it warned that Moscow would transform Ukraine into a “testing ground” for its bombs.
Charred fragments of the new Oreshnik missile were put on display for reporters on Sunday following its use last week against a military site in Dnipro.
The Oreshnik, Russian for hazel tree, appears to be based on Moscow’s RS-26 Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile and is capable of carrying either conventional or nuclear warheads.
Several destroyed components of the rocket were recovered from the blast, including mangled wires and an airframe the size of a large snow tire.
“It should be noted that this is the first time that the remains of such a missile have been discovered on the territory of Ukraine,” an expert with Ukraine’s Security Service told the Associated Press.

It did. This time they were empty

Yes , no payload. I just viewed a satellite picture of the underground weapons facilty, it is 1 mile x 1.5 miles- massive. First hand reports state there is nothing left standing above ground, and that everything underground is totally destroyed.
Some here just don’t understand the destructive capabilities of kinetic missiles….accurately described as mini meteorites….and that is without a payload. All Ukie engineers and workers in that 1 mile x 1.5 mile area are presumed dead….no wonder our Pentagon has gone silent….and called for an Emergency NATO meeting 26 Nov…….Checkmate.
What a sleazy attempt at indirection.
We told Ukraine to launch USA missiles into Russia targeting military bases.
What, exactly, would the USA do if Russia staged troops and military equipment on the Mexican border and started launching missiles at US military bases?
We never threatened a nuclear exchange. Russia does daily.
Russia needs to stop wetting their diapers and put on their big boy pants. They got themselves into this.
“I for one am vastly relieved that Trump won. I believe he can be a peacemaker or at least hold off the warmongers here.”
Putin is an evil warmongering thug.
Trump kept him in his box.
The Ukraine invasion would have never happened under Trump.-
Good!! Test every type of bomb on ukraine so we can assess them.
Because that would be huge in helping defend ourselves.
But in your case, it’s obvious as a neocon that you put starting wwiii before everything else.
You had to have voted for Biden because Tru p is gonna stop all this nonsense.
Why aren’t you on kos? :)
We haven't had any missiles hit Fort Bliss.
We still would not go nuclear over a homeland conventional hit. Your assertion is BS.
We still would not go nuclear over a homeland conventional hit. Your assertion is BS.
It is nuclear policy of the United States, Russia and every other nuclear power that attack by a nuclear capable method will be met with a nuclear response because there is no way of knowing if the payload is nuclear until it detonates.

Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), formerly Theater High Altitude Area Defense, is an American anti-ballistic missile defense system designed to intercept and destroy short-, medium-, and intermediate-range ballistic missiles in their terminal phase (descent or reentry). The THAAD interceptor carries no warhead, instead relying on its kinetic energy of impact to destroy the incoming missile. THAAD was developed after the experience of Iraq’s Scud missile attacks during the Gulf War in 1991.
On 17 January 2022, THAAD made its first operational interception of an incoming hostile medium-range ballistic missile in the UAE.
A THAAD battery consists of at least six launcher vehicles, each equipped with eight missiles, with two mobile tactical operations centers (TOCs) and the AN/TPY-2 ground-based radar (GBR).
The U.S. Army plans to field at least six THAAD batteries, at a purchase cost of US$800 million per battery.
The THAAD Radar is an X-Band active electronically scanned array Radar developed and built by Raytheon at its Andover, Massachusetts Integrated Air Defense Facility.
The THAAD radar can interoperate with Aegis and Patriot systems, in a 3-layer antimissile defense.
On October 13, 2024, President Biden directed Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to authorize the deployment of a THAAD battery to Israel to “help bolster Israel’s air defenses following Iran’s unprecedented attacks against Israel on April 13 and again on October 1.

If Putin had sung this on the Gong Show, he’d have been yanked off the stage in a hot second.
“It is nuclear policy of the United States, Russia and every other nuclear power that attack by a nuclear capable method will be met with a nuclear response because there is no way of knowing if the payload is nuclear until it detonates.”
If one Russian missile is launched and its trajectory is a US/UK missile factory, no nuclear-tipped missile will be sent towards Russia.
Even Biden isn’t crazy enough to start WW3 over a factory in Camden, Arkansas.
Oh yeah…that’s pretty horrendous. Cringeworthy, even. But I’ll bet none of his lackeys dared to say that.
You asked for it and made me do it. Said every wife beater and Kremlin Bolshevik ever.
If is more than clear that we are not supplying Ukraine with nuclear weapons. I have been biting my tongue but can’t anymore. Your assertions are beyond rediculous and borderline lunacy. You don’t know military doctrine yet spew propaganda irresponsibly. If you have an opinion, fine, but stop with the bull crap.
Says the clown who wants to play Russian roulette with Russia.
😂😂🤣🤣
Another assertion you have no basis for making. I have made my views clear but won’t argue with jackwagons who slander first then want to debate their talking point.
