Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed that the mass deployment of the Oreshnik intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) could rival the destructive power of nuclear weapons, highlighting its precision and strategic potential.
During a meeting with military officials, defense industry representatives, and missile system developers in Moscow on Friday, Putin said the Oreshnik is not only an ICBM and a means of mass destruction but also a high-precision weapon.
"I would like to emphasize one more aspect here. The Oreshnik missile system is not just an effective hypersonic weapon. Due to its striking power, especially when used en masse and in combination with other long-range precision systems that Russia also has, using it against enemy targets will be comparable in effect and power to using strategic weapons," he said.

Karakayev praised the system’s ability to overcome current and future missile defense mechanisms, describing its hypersonic warheads as effective against diverse targets, including heavily fortified ones.
"Given the weapon’s designated tasks and range, it can hit targets across Europe, offering significant advantages over other types of long-range precision weapons. As you earlier noted, the mass use of this weapon would be comparable to the use of nuclear weapons," he said.

We have come a long way from disagreement over Ukraine’$ massive failure, and now mince words over their sentence structure.
I peck out my posts on a phone. It is painfully slow and I admit to poor proofing but stand by the thought processes.

Now reality check, your Vlad's super duper sonics strike on Dnipro killed 2 civilians.
And, yes, it was STUPID for Ukraine to waste its best troops on territory in can't possibly hold while Russia is gaining ground daily Ukraine.
You and your fellow Zeepers are IMBECILES. You're as dumb as any leftist.
Let's make a little wager -- $100 to a future Freep-a-thon that Russia keeps every inch of territory it now possesses.
Got the guts? I doubt it.
A 1000 pound mass (453 kg) moving at hypersonic speed of 15,000 mph (6705 meters/sec) and coming to sudden stop will conform to kinetic energy = 1/2 m v^2 and thus
10.2 billion joules.
This is 2.5 tons of TNT. The smallest of tactical nuclear weapons are bigger, so that missile will need to be carrying more mass, or easier, speed up.
As is, not equal to a nuke.
“kill any Ukrainians that don’t retreat.”
Just wait until the ground freezes !!!1

You are a moron.
Yay
Ukraine's independence is simply not vital to the United States. Ukraine is not a member of NATO, and, as things stand with the vast expansion of NATO, we now have 28 other nations to defend if only one of them is attacked."

He's only here for the trolling.
Thanks for the link to the REAL discussion of the Oreshnik strike.
