Today Vladimir Putin gave an unscheduled live address to the nation. He claimed that on Nov. 19, six ATACMS missiles — and on Nov. 21, several Storm Shadow missiles — had been used by Ukraine for strikes against targets in Russia’s Kursk and Bryansk regions.
According to Putin, Russia retaliated on Nov. 21 with a combined strike against a Ukrainian defense industry facility. In addition, “a field test was conducted in combat conditions” for one of Russia's newest medium-range weapon systems: a nuclear-free hypersonic ballistic missile. “Our engineers named it 'Oreshnik' [‘Hazel’],” Putin declared with a smile.

All you folks willing to risk your families...kids, grandkids..wife, husband...for a comedian and the billions that keep globalists, neocons and dems going...you might get your wish!! :)
But a question begs...why did you vote for Trump is this is what you so desperately wanted...and the way your posts are so fervent...like you would put your life on the line for the comedian’s and biden’s and kamala’s and neocons’ and globalists’ agenda...it seems that way?
Maybe you thought it would speed up the war you wanted :)
ciao!
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer but how is a hypersonic missile ballistic?
It goes Mach 5 and faster. There are amateur rocketeers who build and fly rockets that can go anywhere from Mach 3 to Mach 6. Any of them that go Mach and faster are hypersonic.
It's Russia to finish off the electric grid in Ukraine and forced Ukraine to surrender.
Continuing the war only assures more dead Ukrainians and more loss of territory.
...Putin said Russia is within its rights to use ballistic missiles against “Ukraine's military targets” and to use weapons against military facilities of those countries that have authorized the use of their weapons against Russia...That would be, let's see...... America, England, maybe a few others....
Folks, Putin just said that Biden's actions give Russia the right to lob ICBMs at the United States mainland.
Buckle up, Buttercup.
President Donald J. Trump to Withdraw the United States from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty
“The U.S. withdrawal pursuant to Article XV of the treaty takes effect today because Russia failed to return to full and verified compliance through the destruction of its noncompliant missile system—the SSC-8 or 9M729 ground-launched, intermediate-range cruise missile.”

putin is showing great restraint...
letting them know they are poking the bear.
Any of them that go Mach 5 and faster are hypersonic.
Pretty much any military ballistic missile goes Mach 5 or faster at least on the boost phase and some of the coast phase, too.
I agree. He’s waiting for Trump and sanity to be in place.
Putin’s basically not going to deal with the current regime.
If a ballistic missile achieves hypersonic speeds it’s not categorized as hypersonic. Different things. Hypersonic is guided.
Putin has domestic politics to worry about also.
Launch nuclear-capable ATACMS missiles deep into Russia and what do you expect to happen?
We are the bad guys and we have started WWIII.
What did they expect? They wanted him to respond. Actually, they want him to respond to a NATO country so they can declare WWIII, and they would really like it if he used nukes. Don’t take the bait, Putin. Father, in the Name of Jesus, give Putin wisdom and discernment. Confound the enemy, who is Satan, and confound the evil players in this plan to get the world in a war. In your precious holy Name, Jesus, Amen.

This is Putin letting Trump know that, the war won’t be stopped until Russia succeeds. No negotiations, no surrender, no nothing. Russia is going all out to win and nobody is going to stop them. Losing hundreds of thousands Russian soldiers won’t be for nothing.
Ukraine and NATO and the U.S. had better take notice that Russia will get its way.
Ukraine should take a page from the IDF manual, and send Putin his own Storm Shadow when they can identify his location.
That was bullshit. We pulled out of that INDF treaty because we wanted to field weapons against China from our island bases in the Pacific that would violate the INF treaty. We needed out of it.
So we ginned up a fake justification.
Simple as that.
