Copy and paste from wikipedia... “Wikipedia does not consider itself credible because anyone can edit it at any time, any information it contains at a particular time could be vandalism, a work in progress, or just plain wrong.”
Do research, it’s a 1980s rocket with a booster capable of hypersonic speed. It’s a modified version of the ground-launched 9K720 Iskander.
All ICBMs are hypersonic so was the space shuttle which I watched often.
The video posted showed nothing.
So did people’s of all ethnicities, races, religions, philosophies, denominations, sects, cultures.
Should I have listed them all or go with the approximate composition of 95% of those who fought in the wars?
The Ukrainians desperately need bodies to fight, you should volunteer and turn things around.
Vermont Lt is some sort of breed of socialist afflicted with a touch of cultural Marxism. He probably runs around chanting”diversity is strength.”
Yes, even western censored google has some information about this.
Russia launched dozens of drones and Kinzhal missiles at Ukraine
He’s probably stayed up all night drinking.
This looks like another polished video like a Lockheed Martin promo kind of thing from the other side. Too polished and produced to be very useful.
How do you think they would be a game changer? The USAF in full out mode would be a game changer, not a handful of 16s in the hands of Ukes.
MACH 10 = 7,000+ mph yet this device only has a range of 300 miles? If fired up for only 10 seconds its range would be well over 700 miles.
Your DEI math does not compute. At 7,000 mph, you would travel approximately 19.4 miles in 10 seconds.
That is disgusting.
Whatever your opinion of my description is, it is an accurate description.
I do not waste time arguing with liars...
Its fact you are arguing, with not a lie. You people live in dream world with Vladimir Vladimirovich. Only you guys are just paid lackeys, crowing about things you know nothing about.
I would like to support and promote Free Republic to my conservative friends but vulgarity like that prevents me from doing so. You cant grow this movement by talking like that.
Mockery is an old American tradition. Embrace it because patriots have been losing by acting like an effeminate weaklings.
“Mach 10 is pretty fast.
NATO cannot give The Ukraine anything to counter that speed...”
Patriots have had no problem with these.
The chicoms don’t think too highly of the alleged “hypersonic” kinzhal missle:
“”There is more and more evidence showing that what the US and Ukraine say on this matter is true,” the Chinese defense analyst Yin Jie wrote in November in the Shaanxi military magazine Ordnance Industry Science and Technology.
While such journals don’t necessarily reflect views or intel from within the People’s Liberation Army, state agencies must approve their publishers.
Despite this, Yin issued a surprisingly critical review of how Russia uses the Kinzhal, otherwise known as the “Dagger,” writing that the missile was “unlikely to have a significant impact” on the battlefield.”
“The Chinese analyst spelled out various ways Russia had undermined its own missile, such as how the Kinzhal had been fired and its availability. The Kinzhal, they concluded, just wasn’t the star that Moscow made it out to be.”
A similar view can be found in “Showdown between the Dagger and the Patriot in Ukraine,” an analysis published by the prominent Beijing defense and science journal Military Arms:
The Kinzhal’s maneuverability, they wrote, “cannot be compared with that of a real hypersonic missile,” adding that its ballistic trajectory also made the Kinzhal susceptible to defense systems such as the Patriot.
The Kinzhal, this separate analysis said, was at best a “marginal hypersonic missile.”
You could argue all the reasons you listed - like Biden's open border policy being important to focus on - without making the false claim that "Boris Johnson convinced Zelensky to walk away from the table."
And "this whole thing", being Russia's seizure of Crimea, invasion in 2014, and invasion in 2022, is a result of Putin's imperial ambitions. Unless you think he is just a puppet for some mid level US State Department employee.
Sending obsolete US weapons to Ukraine and spending tax dollars to build useful new weapons and ammunition in the USA is a good idea. I'd rather see tax dollars going to factory workers in US defense plants now than US soldiers fighting in Europe in the future.
In case you didn't know, it was the Russians who bombed and destroyed the dam. And it is the Russians bombing and killing Russian speaking civilians in Kharkiv and other areas.
