Now I am scared: the New Oreshnik Missile Attack on Dnipro
Interesting video.
The system can fire six missiles, each with six warheads. The approximate impact velocity is about mach 10. It's destructive effect is akin to a very hard, very supersonic, gigantic bullet.
The Oreshnik can unleash the equivalent kinetic energy of 77 MK-84 2,000 lb general purpose bombs, or about two max loads of a B-52. Absent any explosive, it penetrates with great force and creates its destructive effect underground.
The morons at the Daily Mail show this ballistic missile taking a ground hugging path to the target and at the end rising up before striking down. The missile is able to reach over mach 10 so high up there is little resistance. It comes down powered by gravity. It's target velocity is mach 10. That is not achieved by ground hugging cruise missiles. No ballistic missile takes a path as described by the Daily Mail.
I think it’s an impressive system.
Unfortunately, I think we will see a more destructive demonstration, since NATO isn’t determined to begin WWIII before Trump gets in…
