On Thursday, the Ukrainian city of Dnipro was hit by a Russian air strike which eyewitnesses described as unusual, triggering explosions that went on for three hours.
The attack included a strike by a missile so powerful that in the aftermath Ukrainian officials said it bore the characteristics of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
Western officials were quick to deny this, saying that such a strike would have triggered a nuclear alert in the US.
Hours after the strike, Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a TV address, said that Russia had launched a "new conventional intermediate-range" missile with the codename Oreshnik, meaning hazel tree in Russian.
Putin said that the weapon travelled at a speed of Mach 10, or 2.5-3km per second (10 times the speed of sound), adding that "there are currently no ways of counteracting this weapon".

Don’t be a schmendrik, step up to the new Oreshnik!
World War Three will be like the previous world wars; easily avoidable.
The Ukraine/Russia war was engineered by Biden and the CIA to protect the Biden/Obama crime family and the CIA Bio-weapons facilities located in Ukraine.
WHY DON’T WE HAVE AN EQUIVALENT? OR MAYBE WE DO.
Without the war mongers wanting to admit it, this latest missile has grabbed their attention and raised the NATO and EU pucker factor by several magnitudes. Here is a weapon that can carry a multi-warhead of nukes at the speed of mach 10.
Don’t forget the schlimiels, schlimazels, and schmucks who are fakachta!

Very Unlikely.
NATO and EU weapons makers have made incredible advances in striking piano keys with a high speed penis shaped missile.
I wonder if there was a CIA bunker/Command Center in the shock zone? If so that would mean 2 are now gone and 10 remain according to the NYT article.
Explosions shown on Fox News were quite notable. It appeared that each of the warheads struck the ground and then exploded a number of seconds afterwards, emitting a very hot mushroom cloud. That causes me to guess that they were fuel air warheads that initially detonated, spreading a large quantity of highly inflammable fumes, much like gasoline fumes. Then the detonators for the fumes exploded producing the very spectacular mushroom clouds. If anyone disagrees with me or wants further to illustrate this, please do so.

Maybe Boeing’s developing it taking engineering resources that would have otherwise gone to its airplane and space capsule business lines. /sarc
I cannot disagree. More information might be available if loser Uke Nazis and Western mainstream Media did not lie and suppress it.
Judging by the silence from the Brit, EU Warmonger press and Zeepers, the missile was as advertised, on target, and no Uke defense had any effect.
Several videos from several different viewpoints would probably make visual assessments more detailed, if we ever get to see them.
Hypersonics are a departure from decades of approach.
Typically, you wait until there is a solution to a problem. In this case, interception of incoming nuclear warheads.
Then you develop a way to destroy or evade that solution.
Now, the Russians are developing answers to counter weapons before the counter weapons exist.
Well...
Make a giant shotgun hooked up to a radar.
See?
Very helpful!
Whatever it was that detonated, they were big explosions.

Military has been too focused on DEI and woke-ism. I would bet they have been pretty complacent about weapon development and upgrades.
