The Dawn of the Age of Kinetic Weaponry
X ^ | HealthRanger

Posted on 11/26/2024 6:19:42 AM PST by hardspunned

So far, almost nobody in the west fully comprehends the Oreshnik weapon system just demonstrated by Russia. Hat tip to Ted Postol, Scott Ritter and Brian Berletic, the only 3 people I've found so far who fully understand this. I've done the math on the kinetic energy of the submunitions (using estimates for mass), and I've studied up on what's publicly known about these weapons so far. My conclusion? NATO is done. The west has no idea what just hit them. Russia's Oreshnik weapon system is checkmate for NATO and the USA. All U.S. aircraft carriers can be destroyed in minutes. All U.S. military bases, all underground bunkers, all ICBM launch sites, naval shipyards, etc., can be destroyed with NON-NUCLEAR kinetic energy via the Oreshnik.

A bit further back and there was their source.

Don’t count your chickens. Multiple reports of credible allegations of sexual misconduct. Guess it runs in the family.

I think MC times MC ix MC squared.

Second, the .22 is the most frequent cause of fatal gunshot injuries and

At a respectable distance, not muzzle velocity, a .22LR is about 800FPS.

So you are an acknowledged COVID totalitarian nutjob and now you are coming out as a #metoo lying feminist. Just more proof that DugwayDouche is your proper handle.

Keep taking those clot shots.

My comments were directed towards the assinine claims such as viruses don’t exist, the vaccines were a bio-weapon, the vaccines caused millions of deaths, grifters such as McCoullough capitalizing on the naive, etc.
You won’t be able to find a single comment of mine supporting lockdowns, six foot distancing, masking, etc.

You are right, I will not find one of your comments because going through your asinine comment history is a chore that I refuse to do. You and I had many comment arguments during the height of the totalitarian COVID lockdowns and I found you to be a little totalitarian jerk.

Now you are going all #metoo on Trumps cabinet nominees. Sod off.

No kidding, WE STARTED THIS WAR. The US in their mad rush to dominance, thought that the time to take out Russia was now. NATO is not a defensive alliance, when we attack Russia. WE ran a coup in Ukraine, we chase a legally elected President out of office. WE DID THIS.

Thanks for the photos! Bad Vlads rockets got Delta7 hyperventilating there. About Dnipro underground weapons and missile production being demolished by them.

What gives me pause for thought is that our neo-cons, or whoever is in control of US policy, could unleash WWIII without thinking that was what they were doing. They persist in believing, against all evidence, that Russia will eat whatever crap we throw at them without crossing the nuclear bar. Eventually, the Russians will decide they have no choice.

It appears that the use of the word “kinetic” in the phrase “non-nuclear kinetic energy” is intended to differentiate between energy derived from motion (kinetic energy) and energy that comes from nuclear reactions (nuclear energy).

Or from conventional explosives.

Um, reentry warheads have been around along time.

Maybe you should go to your junior high school library and looks up “ICBM” and “SLBM”.

These aren't ballistic.

Some useful details are provided here: IMPLICATIONS OF THE ORESHNIK STRIKE.

The "BM" in the acronyms ICBM and SLBM literally stand for "ballistic missile".

Maybe you meant "they aren't kinetic"?

They aren’t when you don’t load warheads. LOL

Bluffing is only possible until you turn your cards face up.

The Russians firing their missiles is the same as turning their cards face up, wouldn’t you agree ?

I have seen critics saying that the Dnipro Missile Factory did not sustain much damage and that the missiles were not effective.

There was no huge explosion. There does not appear to be any damage except the hole it made entering the surface.

This is true. But the kinetic energy of missile traveling at such a high speed has to be dissipated, transferred from the mass of the warhead into the surrounding matter as it’s speed is abruptly curtailed.

So while Satellite images don’t show much damage, the parts you can’t see (underground) are where the damage will be found. So far, that is being kept from the public.

Most everyone is missing the point of these missiles fired by Russia.

We have treaties and International Agreements on the use of INTERCONTINENTAL BALLISTIC MISSILES.

These missiles are INTERMEDIATE RANGE BALLISTIC MISSILES and therefore Russia cannot be ‘held to task’ for violating the agreement on ICBM’s.

The warheads on these missiles are NON-NUCLEAR and even NON-EXPLOSIVE. They make a hole up entry, leaving minimal surface damage, but get to the ‘root’ of the problem (underground).

That is their importance to this conflict.

And while we focus on Dnipro, there were SIX missiles that landed. What happened with the other six ? (I think the assisted living center that was damaged was hit by missiles that were destroyed before hitting their target, not by a targeted strike).

Slightly off topic:
If the enemy fires 10 missiles are you and you fire 60 anti-missile missiles in response, what happens to the anti-missiles that find no target ? I ask because I never see it discussed in the MSM. Whether in Ukraine or in Palestine, for example.
