They’re going after the media like our government does!

And with that kind of accuracy I bet they could put one up Zelinsky’s azz. I’d shop around for a deeper bunker.

Looks like the Ukrainians won’t be watching Mike Johnson on TV giving them billions more dollars.

This looks to me like optical terminal guidance.

One programs the vehicle’s guidance with lat/long and altitude at launch. There will be some tiny drift in the Ring Laser Gyros, and even in the linear accelerometers, which would ordinarily be of small significance, but that is a tiny target so even small drift would not be acceptable.

And thus, on approach, a transition would be made to an optical pattern recognition guidance package to hit the vertical structure that high over the ground.

Pretty good tech. Not a cruise missile. The boom is too small. Not a drone, probably, not enough payload.

Just a very accurately guided short distance missile.

Reasonably impressive. The guidance btw depended on a copy of that pattern having been stored from a recording during a previous dry run. Then uploaded to the targeting package on the missile.

This is not trivial stuff.

Or, the antenna got in the way of one of the “budget” drones used by Russia.

Not that big a deal. Rig a couple elements up on what’s left, coverage in the city will be fine. People 50 km away may lose signal, though.

A distillation tower in Russia would be a good trade.

As noted, not enough payload.

Nah, this was a very good shot.

When President Trump returns to the Oval Office, this proxy war will be over very quickly.
