It helps the conversation to add that Russia notified the USA before launching the missile. Can you imagine answering that back-channel notification? "Yes, hello, this is Russia. There's going to be a launch in 30 mins, which is non-nuclear. So, please do not respond in that fashion. We're targeting these coordinates. Have a beautiful day."

Russia weapon is similar to the "Rods from God" which is a theoretical space weapon that involves dropping a tungsten rod from orbit to impact a target on Earth. The weapon's name is also known as Kinetic Bombardment or Kinetic Energy Projectile. The idea is that the rod's high-speed impact would cause significant damage without the use of high explosives or small nuclear device. The device is unstoppable due to it's high speed. Putin has said others are working on this type of weapon but we are years ahead and we have them now.

Project Ukraine was initiated in 1917, four years after the capturing of the federal reserve of the US. That singular event gave them access to Ukraine and they began putting in place the structure and the ecosystem to gradually chase USSR out of Europe and keep them out. While they went after the Balkan and Eastern European states by pulling them into NATO , Ukraine had always been the main target. The question is why is Ukraine so important to them and why are they so determined to dismember the Russian Federation. The answer lies in the identities of those who privately owned the US federal Reserve without any oversight, and auditing from the US government and congress. The cold war was a conflict between the owners of the Federal Reserve and the Soviet Union.

[@sciagurrato1831]

That history, based on facts, is buried on the assumption that everyone from that period is dead. History may be forgotten by some, but it remains alive. And some of us have read the unexpurgated history of the Fed, and that connection with Ykraina - as well as the Russian Revolution, is clear.

[@aaaa.7897]

The vast resources of Russia and the Slavic Orthodox Christians are the main target of the tribe that you're talking about. Kievan Rus ended their empire in the 10th century and they've been on a quest for revenge since then. Ukraine is their "ancient land" and that's why it's been so significant. The worst thing that happened for them is the USSR acquiring atomic weapons. They've been on a quest since then to dismantle Russia in any way possible since they can't just do a land invasion in the old fashioned way.

[@zumamaya2396]

Interesting background. I think the area of Ukraine has been significant before 1917. I recently learned about "The Geopolitical Pivot of History" Halford Mackinder. 1904. I'm no historian, but learning everyday. Current events are just an extension of centuries of conflict to gain control.

[@jmsjms2735]

True. But the roots reach back to the Crimean War where the British Empire tried and failed to establish the beachfront gate into Russian iinterior. The drive behind that was later formalized as the "heartland theory" by the British geographer Sir Halford Mackinder (1861-1947) in his book "The Geographical Pivot of History" published in 1904. It said that who controls Ukraine, controls the heartland, who controls the heartland, controls the world.

[@chickenlover657]

​@@suntzuhli When russia presents you with a new weapon and says it's testing it, you can be sure they already have a stockpile or they would not be showing it to you in the first place. As for the 200 meters... for a high tech hypersonic kinetic weapon that should be peanuts. Lets remember a few lessons from physics: based on Newton's formulas, a uranium projectile at high speed and just 1m in length would punch its way through 6m of rock before stopping. An adequately shaped projectile (ogive, to be precise), traveling at just 1,200 m/s will penetrate 46 meters of concrete. When the impact velocity is greater than the speed of sound impact depth is dramatically greater. On collision, impact shock causes the material to fracture, and at even higher velocities to behave like a gas. A kinetic wave arises at a depth of 30-50 meters and penetrates deep underground. It is capable of destroying and displacing all existing rooms, communications, cables, steel beams - literally everything. Atomic shelters are oyster shells for it. Solid impactors can be and have been used instead of warheads with similarly destructive effects. Weapons for this purpose have been built since the cold war. Remember "bunker busters", "earthquake bombs", "rods from god", "Project Thor"...etc? There were lots of variations. Many were designed not to strike a target directly, but to impact beside it, penetrate under it, and create a 'camouflet', a large buried cavern, at the same time as delivering a shock wave through the target's foundations. The target then collapses into the hole. In other words, it implodes. Anyway, if the Oreshnik was built improving on these physical principles...nuff said.

Solid impactors can be and have been used instead of warheads with no less destructive effects. Weapons for this purpose have been built since the cold war. Remember "bunker busters", "earthquake b@mbs", "rods from god", "Project Thor"...etc? There were lots of variations. Many were designed not to strike a target directly, but to impact beside it, penetrate under it, and create a 'camouflet', a large buried cavern, at the same time as delivering a shock wave through the target's foundations. The target then collapses into the hole. In other words, it implodes. Anyway, if the Oreshnik was built improving on these physical principles...nuff said.

If each warhead mock-up weighed 100kg (the normal mass for a 160kt nuclear warhead), their impact energy (at Mach 10) would be the equivalent to the energy release of 150kg TNT. Whilst this system is "new", remember that Russia doesn't believe in "re-inventing the wheel", so it will be based to some extent on existing modules. Thus, whilst not "officially" in serial production, Russia probably has the materials "on hand" to produce tens of these. If they use the same MIRV bus as the similar - diameter Bulava SLBM, then this missile can "dispense" 6 - 10 MIRVED warheads. That translates to 6 - 10 large centres of population, per missile.

Avangard HGV is more powerful with a longer range than Hazel Grove...A. Martyanov translation.

Bon en gros, on y va tous droit ( ww3).

Oreshnik means hazel grove

Will the Iranians unleash Mach 10 Pistachio soon ?

[@vaska1999]

A measure of our incompetence: we can't even produce an accurate translation.

[@SpetsnazBear-3710]

According to a RUSSIAN, who still speaks RUSSIAN, Mr Andrei Martyanov, you are correct, "Hazel Grove".

[@bardamu9662]

It means annihilation first and foremost!

A friend of mine in Volgograd, not in Bryansk or Kursk, messaged me that rocket debris in his city clearly show that the rockets were made in the USA. Apparently, this region has also come under attack.
