The reverberations from the Oreshnik ballistic missile strike on Dnipro continue to echo two weeks after the event, mainly because President Putin keeps making public statements about what an effective weapon Oreshnik is. These are duly repeated by the media in Russia and abroad.
The use of an intermediate range ballistic missile with conventional warheads was a world first. Containing no explosive, the thirty-six submunitions inflict damage by kinetic energy, “like a meteorite falling,” as Putin put it. The shower of artificial meteorites looked impressive, but the evidence suggests that it did little actual damage. The strike was more of an impressive firework display than a real threat.

This time they carried no payload as a demonstration.
Next time they won't be empty.
GTFO FR - globaloid trashbag.
Take the Ukraine shithole with you.
Do these clowns not understand that this was a test with inert warheads? Yes it was a dud, literally. That doesn’t mean you can’t put munitions on them.
You are officially retarded.

ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!!

Join and laugh at the Zeepers!!
Some dipshit who writes for Forbes thinks he is a weapons expert.
There was a joke that a burglar broke into a guys home drew a chalk line on the floor told the guy not to cross it and proceeded to assault his wife and family.
When the guy started busting up, the burglar asked: “What is so funny?”
The guy said: “While you were pistol whipping my wife, I stepped over the line and you missed it!”
That is that Forbes writer.
As decreed by...Forbes

When one looks to his "Swarm Troopers: How small drones will conquer the world," as the Forbes site list in his short resume, one finds it was self-published in 2015 by Archangel Ink Publishing Services.
Experts....
If Forbes is making a claim they could provide pictures.
Is that too much to ask?


Latvian website with a PO Box as its mailing address in Riga, Latvia, sincerely requests your donation.
Interestingly, as it says, 'Meduza is an international publication released in Russian and English." Since Latvian is the dominant language and the official language of Latvia, other languages found are Latgalian, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian. Oddly, English isn't mentioned, suggesting this publication targets our nation, as well as Canada and the UK, and looks for donations.
For the US donors, Checks should be made payable to “Meduza” and mailed to the following address: Mother Jones, P.O. Box 584, San Francisco, CA 94104-0584
Remember Mother Jones magazine endorsing President Trump? Neither do I.
Can’t be right. Delta7 said there was a deep crater and everything within 1.5 miles was leveled.
Probably the same experts who tell us “PUTLER WILL CONQUER EUROPE IF WE DON’T STOP HIM NOW!!!”, but also insist that he will never, EVER use nukes, no matter how much NATO escalates and backs him into a corner. “Top men”, for sure...

So you only accept—and unquestioningly so—the analysis of certified and credentialed “experts”?
How very un-FR of you.
I prefer to listen to people who make common-sense, factually substantiated, and well reasoned arguments. Who do YOU listen to?
“This time they carried no payload as a demonstration.
Next time they won’t be empty.”
Why were they “empty”?
