My question is: can they hit a target with it? Isn’t it extremely difficult to control an object moving at such speeds in an environment with gravity, atmoshphere, wind and other weather effects? Wouldn’t such an object have to generate spectacularly high temperatures that make sensitive electronics hard to protect and control?
Do not question President for Life Putin’s technology.
The next super weapon is the game changer.
