“The actions of the Kiev regime, supported by its Western handlers, will elicit retaliatory measures,” the military stressed.
Could we have another hypersonic missile demonstration soon?
Apparently the site hit on the first one was a missile and rocketry production complex called Yuzhmash. According to anonymous reports on Pravda (take with a grain of salt), the damage was so severe that the site was effectively deemed beyond repair, but the more damning fact is that the SBU put on an embargo on reporting of the site. Considering the sheer size of the complex, I believe the “it’s all dust” to be hyperbole.
No, Yuzhmash for example was a super deep underground facility built for nuclear war, regular missiles couldn’t do much to it. The Oreshnik can by sending 130 kg chunks of solid metal into the ground at mach 10.
From what I remember hearing, if it hits the ground faster than a few times the speed of sound it actually penetrates less into the ground because it can’t deform enough and the part hitting the ground kinda just turns into plasma and “explodes” not allowing it to go very deep. Or something like that…
