Thank you very much and God bless you.

Just what kind of warheads can they mount on that Oreshnik? The Military Summary Channel was speculating that these ATACMS were targeted at the main Russian military headquarters in Rostov.

Suppose the Russians know which bunker Z is hiding out in?

The only hope the globalists have of implementing their one world government is to start WWIII before Trump takes office so they can declare martial law and arrest all their political opponents, including Trump.

Z would not be a likely target, as NATO might replace him with someone more effective. There’s been speculation they will do so soon anyway. But I’m sure there are other good targets in Kiev or perhaps logistics nodes near the western border or in Odessa or at any power generation plants that are still operational.

Stuff happens if US soldiers are used to target ATACMS missiles for these long-range attacks and US satellites are involved in them.

Double sugar, on the house.

Oreshnik = old tech.

When Russians are barking nothing never happens.
Thus, I’ll just keep yawning at their botched propaganda.

“This attack by Western long-range weapons...”

These weapons were supposedly built by Ling-Temco-Vought (LTV) who has not been in business since 2001 and their last corporate building was in Dallas, TX when they closed the doors. More BS.

Unfortunately, your correction is accurate. And the attack would have been viewed as incomprehensible and impossible until the fools in the White House gained power.

We all will have to wait to see if WWIII can be held off until Trump gets in.

“Just what kind of warheads can they mount on that Oreshnik?”

That missile carries six independently targetable re-entry vehicles, designed primarily for delivering nuclear warheads.

There is reportedly also a “cluster bomb” (sub-munitions) variant.

Since it is designed for nuclear weapons, the throw weight for conventional explosives is not very high - maybe as much as 500 lbs, but likely less, for each of the six re-entry vehicles.

It is unclear if they have tested any unitary high explosive warheads for that missile, so it is uncertain if they would be stable to perform at those velocities and temperatures

Also, since it is designed for nuclear warheads the accuracy (Circular Error Probability) is much less than precision conventional munitions, like JDAMs or ATACMS. It could not be expected to hit a certain building, for example.

The one that was fired previously at Dnipro, had inert (test) payloads, and any damage was produced by the speed of the re-entry vehicle itself.

Non-nuclear, it is a very expensive way, to do very little damage.

He’s such an annoying little pr!ck, I wouldn’t blame Putin for taking him out for the personal satisfaction of doing it. Also take him out in vengeance for the slaughtered Ukrainians he’s responsible for.

Yeah, ATACMS is basically in receivership service, until maintenance spares are exhausted.
Then it will be deprecated and removed from US service.
Did you see post 6 and the claim that the new missile being fielded and field tested is “old tech”?
Nothing has hit at hypersonic ballistic arc speed before but that idiot is like “it’s old, it’s failed”.
