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.

Thanks for the clarification.

Um, reentry warheads have been around along time.

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

the man is being a bit dramatic. In other words, the new weapon can accomplish what ICBMs can accomplish but without the radioactive fall out. All those targets that he mentions that can be taken out by the new weapon have always been vulnerable to ICBMs which are much faster.

It does look like the Biden administration is more keen on World War III and the attendant nuclear eradication of humanity than Putin is.

Is this like the US Navy’s rail gun?

We’d be using them. We have yet to deploy even the most basic hypersonic missile. The Russians, Chicoms and Iranians have them. It looks as though Russian techs have also fired them from Yemen.

would have to be a large mass to do any damage
——————
I suggest you study the massive underground weapons facility in Dnipro that was totally destroyed by Vlad’s Oreshnik missile attack. 1 mile by 1 1/2 miles- gone. Initial video and reports show total destruction, down to the three story underground manufacturing facilities. Gone.

Western MSM has been very, very quiet trying to downplay the weapon. The huge facility was assembling US / EU missiles, even repainting and relabeling western markings with Ukrainian markings…..oh what a web we weave when we practice to deceive….the number of eliminated western defense companies and Ukie workers is unknown at this time, but rumored to be in the hundreds.

Post war analysis will be stunning…..there is no wonder why NATO is holding an emergency meeting today.

I find kinetic bombs lacking in potential.

And just how fast is this capability that it can outrun a laser? Warfare has always changed with weaponry. The bottom line for the last century has been technology coupled with manufacturing infrastructure and control of raw materials.

As to the latter two, the US has a decent mineral base sequestered by environmental setasides. As to manufacturing technology, it is our educational system that betrays us, daily. Trump had best get us building micro-nukes for AI infrastructure in a hurry.

They can put this weapon on target in a few minutes but will be giving days notice. Scary stuff!

It is not the mass, it is the velocity that makes kinetics formidible.

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 mass times velocity squared

Our Small Diameter Bomb does not carry an explosive payload.

Useful for killing the occupants of a moving vehicle while limiting collateral damage outside the vehicle to a traffic jam.

How often so many don’t see what the stones in the street can see.

The writer of this "Tweet" is....

"Founder of Brighteon and Natural News, mass spec food lab director, #1 bestselling author of 'Food Forensics,' patent holder and decentralized tech maverick,"

Health Ranger's CV

From Amazon, "Award-winning investigative journalist and clean food activist Mike Adams, the 'Health Ranger,' is founder and editor of Natural News, one of the top health news websites in the world, reaching millions of readers each month."

The titles of some of his podcast/audios are seen at:

Source: Natural News Audio Books

Adams tweeted this 18 September 2024, "If Israel put explosives in 5,000 pagers, could they have also put explosives in the Twin Towers? Or the port in Beirut? Asking for a friend..."

And he predicted ballot stuffing against Trump would "win" the election... "PREDICTION: The Democrats are going to steal this election, just like the last one. MILLIONS of fake ballots have already been printed and are being distributed to the ballot stuffing centers across the states. Democrats don't even care if you notice, at this point. They're just going to unload PALLETS of BALLOTS and run them through the machines, even in full view of the public, and then declare Kamala the winner no matter what. This is the plan."

Source: Health Ranger Tweet, 18 October 2024.

One notes that "his" Brighteon, as well as Natural News, solicits your name and email address, as do so many. Using to Twitter/X to compete with X/Twitter ultimately, not to mention Truth Social....

Oh, yeah, his 18 October election prediction was wrong. Too.

You’re so clever. Bump those weapons up to MACH 10-20 and join the discussion.

US needs to develop and deploy the old Rods from God kinetic weapon. Power of a nuke, but no fallout

That’s a really credible bunch there
—————
And western MSM is credible? Laughable. Post war analysis will be stunning, even more stunning will be the amount of war cheerleaders that suddenly will be forced to realize how their senile, decrepit old leader deceived them about his Ukie war.

….Vlad still holds all the cards.

If I remember the equation correctly, the energy a projectile applies to a target increases as the projectile weight increases (which is easy to picture, big heavy bullets hit harder than little light-weight bullets). BUT the energy also depends on velocity, and increases with the SQUARE of the velocity (basically, velocity times velocity). So you can get MUCH larger increases in energy by simply cranking up velocity, than by increasing the weight of the projectile...

Again we do not know what the Pentagon has developed in response to these systems. The assumption that we are incapable because 'we haven't demonstrated' anything is not proof. The Pentagon has billions of dollars of unaccounted for money with more going 'missing' every year.

Try to remember this is the uber professional opinion of the Health Ranger. 😆
