Vlad can hit any target in Ukraine he wants to, not one square meter is safe. He has shown much restraint, and it appears with the absolutely insane amount of strikes recently he is taking the gloves off.

You are obviously a Putinista. </sarcasm>

The war groupies think Z-man is winning.

Be a shame if he found himself on the business end of a payload-free Mach 10 Oreshnik.

--- "The war groupies think Z-man is winning."

It is interesting to look back and into the company, which was in part a venture capital strategy from a small Silicon Valley group.

Formerly Known As -- One Way Aerospace
Ownership Status -- Privately Held (backing)
Financing Status -- Venture Capital-Backed
Corporate Office --
1160 Santa Cruz Avenue
Menlo Park, CA 94025
United States

Additional source: Terminal Autonomy DealRoom

The business has been around since 2023, and Menlo Park office seems to be mostly AI work and venture capital fund raising. One looks back:

"Terminal Autonomy, formerly known as the startup One Way Aerospace, has announced the successful completion of procurements aimed at supporting the combat deployment of the AQ 400 Scythe system in the Ukrainian Armed Forces." more....

Given actual data and references as above, sure sounds as if some US investors ( along with Latvians and Germans ) have seen the return on their investment go up in smoke.

Lots more info out there. "New technology" it was not, per se.

While the Guardian trots out a "new" event -- attack on a US business in Ukraine -- the reporter either did not know or suppresses a number of stories about earlier losses to US investments in the war.

An example from a year ago:

"Russia has targeted Ukraine’s cities and hit a US-owned consumer electronics factory in the largest combined drone and missile attack in more than a month, only five days after Donald Trump’s meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska." more

Andy Hunder, head of the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine, said the site hit belonged to Texas-based Flex and urged Trump to show Putin that 'the United States protects its own'.

'Russia continues to destroy and humiliate US businesses in Ukraine, targeting companies that invest and trade on the US stock markets,' Hunder said in a Facebook post. 'Russia is not only destroying Ukraine — it is undermining US leadership, values and US business'."

Ever notice St Z is never in Ukraine when Vlad’s hammering takes place? He goes begging and leaves when US and Brit intelligence tells him to get out of dodge.
