Putin has vowed to incinerate Ukraine with new missiles firing warheads almost as hot as on the surface of the sun.

The Russian dictator said he would use the new Oreshnik missiles to turn areas of Ukraine “to dust” in blasts “comparable to nuclear weapons”.

In a speech to ex-Soviet state leaders in Kazakhstan Putin vowed to ramp up his country’s production of hypersonic missiles, in a bid to outpace the West’s ability to supply Ukraine.

Boasting about his new super-weapon Oreshnik, he said that in future it would be devastating in the destruction it caused. “Of course, there are no equivalents in the world,” he said.

"This is 10 Mach. This is about three kilometres per second. The temperature of the damaging elements reaches 4,000C degrees…. On the surface of the sun, the temperature is 5,500-6,000 degrees.”

“ Odd that someone intent on acquiring Ukraine is willing to turn it to dust.”

That is odd.

That would certainly end the war.

Putin is just playing politics and killing time until January 20th. He knows he’s going to get 95% of what he wants at the negotiating table.

He only has 9 left until the next batch rolls off the factory floor - minus any Western parts the first batch enjoyed and escaping any UKR drones targeting the factory.

Ukraine and the West can’t “win” this conflict. Time for a settlement.

I agree with you, but it may depend on the meaning of "win". I think the best "win" Ukraine can get would be to drive the Russians out of their territory, but I really don't think this will happen. But even so, they'd be left with lots and lots of destruction that will take lots and lots of time to rebuild.

Real winning for Russians is completely conquering Ukraine and absorbing it (again). I don't think that will happen either. But they'd probably consider it a "win" if they can quit fighting and take control (again) of some of the eastern parts of Ukraine.

So, I think you're right. Time for a settlement.

Take control? I think they’ve got control.

And you know this for a FACT?

Your Putin is having a hissy meltdown at the imminent return of President Trump. Not a good look for your side.

Was a post on some thread - source given - forget which one, when. But you can be assured they only have a few and building one takes a long time as it does with all their other missiles.
