Each of three top scientists on the weapon said something treasonous? Or collectively as a group? Nah. Dumb theory. They’re getting arrested because they promised Putin an unstoppable weapon and now he looks like a dumbass.

The is saying that it’s wrong that hypersonic are bad because they’re fast. It goes on to clarify why the new tech is bad. And, imo, implies that this includes the ones referenced in the beginning. But in reality it does not. But whatever.

The problem with filming AA deployments is not about hiding the efficacy of AA deployments. It’s about hiding their locations. What is the purpose of arresting your missile scientists for treason? What’s your best case interpretation?

I don’t agree that the article makes this clear. The article states > These are specifically designed for ballistic threats, which are common, and their extreme effectiveness is precisely why Russia and China have invested in something e

Shrug. The Kremlin loudly arresting the Kinzhal developers for treason after the Kinzhals get shot down suggests a clear narrative to me about who is telling the truth. The best case you can make for Russia is that the Kinzhal developers ac

Russia arresting the Kinzhal developers for treason (read: failure) tells you all you need to know. Note also that they purposefully forbid videos of air defenses to avoid showing where air defenses are. At least one Kinzhal was confirmed s

I agree. But I don’t think the article makes that clear. In fact I think it strongly implies otherwise that the missiles being used against Ukraine are the scary maneuvering kind.

The article begins by referring to Russia using Hypersonic missiles against Ukraine, and then goes into detail about what defenses are necessary to defend against these weapons. It’s a good article. But the reality is that the Russian missi

The non-ballistic variety that Russia claimed was unstoppable has been stopped several time in the past couple weeks now that Ukraine has Patriot systems. Seems like they’re not really a big deal at all.

idk man, stopping doing a thing that is immensely profitable shows integrity if you ask me.

Nintendo shut this loot box thing down around a year ago. So… you know, get over it. It’s already been dead a long time. No, Nintendo is not sprinting along the dark path. I’m amused that the plaintiff is complaining over $170. A tiny sum f
