Cool. “Zelensky’s up, Putin’s down!’’.

“Putin’s up, Zelensky’s down!’’.

Good. Vlad’s response will be sensational….he may even take the gloves off.

Anything that big has a big radar cross section, unless the Ukes got some real recent tech.

Keep poking that bear.

They’re all idiots. You never let your opponent know your capabilities, either existing or planned.

More Ukraine nonsense

1,800 miles is some distance.

I live in southern NJ and I’d say it’s roughly 1,300 miles to Florida.

This thing is supposed to go some 500 miles farther than that?

Wow.

That’s why American weapons projects are closely guarded, highly classified and not announced before implementation.

Is it propelled by a cheap pulse-jet?

[frank ballenger]

Are they writing messages on the sides of the missiles?

You do, if there is another goal, i.e. send investment money. After all, in the middle of a war the company mentioned was doing a 'show and tell' in Abu Dhabi.

It's a fine article with "...rumored...." and "said to be" and my favorite, "might be."

It is “Business Insider” after all.

Then it was already "in production".

I’m afraid you should be including Trump in that group.

[SkyDancer]

You get what you started.

You really believe that, maybe he will unleash the big wheel brigade 😎

Israel is pretty good at developing weapons. Necessity being the mother of invention.
I’m sure Ukraine’s got some brains in their War department.
