A trio of Vladimir Putin's leading hypersonic scientists have been detained on suspicion of high treason in what fellow scientists have declared a 'witch hunt'
Aerodynamics specialist Dr Valery Zvegintsev, 78, is the latest of three prominent scientists from the Khristianovich Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics in Novosibirsk to be arrested on extremely serious charges.
Zvegintsev, 78, along with Anatoly Maslov and Alexander Shiplyuk, are seen as key figures in the development of Russia's hypersonic weapons programme which is thought to be one of the world's most advanced.
News of their detention on suspicion of high treason comes days after a Russian missile assault on Ukraine's capital was largely ineffective, with Ukrainian officials claiming their US-supplied Patriot air defence system managed to down several of Moscow's Kinzhal - or 'Dagger' - hypersonic missiles, which Putin once boasted were 'unstoppable'.
And their institute has protested the arrests, claiming the men were being prosecuted over normal scientific activity such as making presentations and taking part in international conferences and projects, and publishing articles in major journals.

“The Daily Mail” Propaganda much?
Sy Hersh reports that a group led by Poland “has been quietly urging Zelensky to find a way to end the war—even by resigning himself, if necessary—and to allow the process of rebuilding his nation to get under way. Zelensky is not budging, according to intercepts and other data… pic.twitter.com/poWoxKGwzH— 🇺🇸Lionel🇺🇸 (@LionelMedia) May 17, 2023
Uday Hussein tortured his country’s athletes when they didn’t win.
They sure did. They even killed some of their players.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall at some of the defense contractors in Huntsville, AL right now. LOL
” a Russian missile assault on Ukraine’s capital was largely ineffective, with Ukrainian officials claiming their US-supplied Patriot air defence system managed to down several of Moscow’s Kinzhal”
Don’t know about the arrests but this claim that a Patroit missile took down a Kinzhal missile is pure propaganda. The Ukies themselves were forced to back away from this claim yesterday. Patriot missiles are worthless against the Kinzhals. They aren’t very effective against drones either.
Dr Valery Zvegintsev: HYPER-Sonic? ....... I thought you said HYPO-Sonic..........................
Your post has nothing to do with this article or even with the war your beloved Russia is getting its a** kicked and many Russians are about to be slaughtered.
You’re just a propagandist who has misled many people here and so you just have to keep it up anyway you can.
“They aren’t very effective against drones either.”
a couple of days ago, one of your russkie komrads posted here that the patriot missile system has NEVER intercepted a single flying object in its entire history!
Stalin Jr purges his enemies. Are the Chinese watching the failure of Russia’s so called wonder weapons?
Dance Zeepers, Dance!
It's Daily Mail Uke Prop time!
I don’t think it was the shootdown that motivated this. One of the other missile scientists defected. That’s what did it.
Name calling. That's all you do.
I was an Air Defense Artillery officer in Germany in the late 80s and 90s. I served as the project officer for the last Patriot Battalion that was fielded in Germany at Bitburg AFB (now closed) throughout 1990 only to see it uprooted in 91 to go to Desert Shield and Storm. We knew then we had something special with Patriot and it has not disappointed us. Since I retired from the Army in 94, Patriot has only gotten much more advanced and better. I believe some are in Taiwan now, or they should be.
Patriots missiles are worthless against drones and cruise missiles.
They are unable to stop Kinzhal missiles too.

Damn, does it hurt to be that stupid?
Interesting.
Neither are you.
