Interesting in it's brevity, Putin says the Russians are not using the good stuff.

They have used a few of them...

Just to let the NATO generals know.

They without question used it last year to destroy the NATO training complex in Western Ukraine.

no need to use Hyper-sonic weapons when regular speed missiles hit the target just fine. If they were to be used it would be to hit London or New York. Or they might be used if Ukraine was able to knock down a conventional missile.

I assume Putin’s statement is meant to warn the west not to underestimate him.

They also have laser weapons and a Death star .. /sarc

bzzzt... nope - they have some hypersonic weapons but hardly in any numbers. Otherwise they would have used it to turn the tide of the war, which has been a constant Russian retreat for 8 months and a stalemate in Bakhmut

As mentioned by others, the strength you actually is enhanced if possible opponents think you have more than you actually do.

Why use the good stuff when traditional weapons suffice? Only morons like generals in the US military piss away tax dollars using smart weapons when dumb bombs would do the job at a fraction of the cost.

Russia started this 2/22 war aiming for a settlement with limited war of around 2-3 on a 10 scale of capability wise

Running around 6-7 now with the big push coming at some point

They are not happy being mislead in talks last spring early summer and are grinding down uke forces

It’s a travesty Ukraine could never win alone despite the bravery and dedication of their infantry and arty troops
