Biden's greenlit now has nothing to do with Trump. If anything it's cuz it's clear Trump isn't gonna solve this war either, as he promised (and even before inauguration). Fact that it took so long for Biden to approve this, shows the restraint, but this was coming for a while already.
Hope Europe prepares to take over some part at least of Us aid, which we can. But we need more action & politicial will. But even if Trump stops Us mil aid & I'm afraid it will get there, Ukraine won't give up, and EU with a lot of other significant countries like Japan, SK, Australia Canada etc will also keep helping. We can for example buy US missiles & then donate to Ukraine :) those can have a big impact & ranges up to 2000km. Trump will buy putin some time, but time only. Ruble keeps lowering, rus economy will be in shambles if russia can't finish this war within 2yr.

I live in Tanzania, East Africa. I keep wondering how some lunatic fringe elites in Europe an USA have given themselves the right to decide our future with this dangerous escalation. Does not the rest of the world have a say in our own futures?
No, less than 10% of the populace wants 100% of the power. They're the jealous lover trope "if I can't have you, no one can wahhh" or worse they "think" they can win or it'll just be Europe that's disposed of

They don't let us have a say in our futures here in the west either, it seems like we have the same problem, coming from the same people. It makes all their talk of democracy extremely ridiculous. Thankfully their power is slipping, and won't last forever.
No you don't. White people have decided that they alone will call the shots to their own benefit and to hell with you and us. It will never change until the Global South stands against it.

Over time sociopaths rise to the top (and very bottom) of the socio economic pyramid. It's a generational process taking many centuries. 500 years of European colonialism, internal as well as the obvious external, has been just about enough time for the present ruling elite to have become a sociopathic genetic cohort. If they're not attackng Russia they're attacking us. In fact by attacking Russia they hope to preserve their system that suppresses their domestic populations. We are the first vassels. Russia is determined not be become their second.

America is not satisfied with the course of events on the battlefield in Ukraine and therefore wants a far greater sacrifice from the people of Ukraine. On Tuesday, November 19, 2024 RBC UKRAINE reported: Ukraine has already received a large amount of various American weapons but still finds itself in a difficult situation on the battlefield. The reason for this lies in mobilization issues said a high ranking official of Ukraine's main backer. Earlier, we [RBC UKRAINE] reported that this spring Ukraine lowered the conscription age from 27 to 25. Additionally, we reported that US officials are trying to persuade Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to approve mobilization starting at age 18. However, he remains firm in his stance. Comment: A country allegedly not participating directly in a war is calling for the blood of another nation to be spent to suit their own ends and weaken a rival. An awful price to pay for young people, the innocents, who don't understand what is really going on.
@@capitolpolice1504 Being a Russian media platform, any quote it gives it pretty questionable. Also its pretty clear what side this news source is pushing.
Ukraine's sovereignty has been effectively seized by the elite in the United States. Right now, the tragic reality is that millions of Ukrainian children have been sacrificed, resulting in devastating losses. If peace comes the shortage of men will be bigger than the female.

Criticism that doesn't start with or at least include capitalism leads nowhere. It's just capitalism at its highest stage, imperialism doing what it must to stay alive.
I understand that Chechen leader Kadyrov has an extensive collection of Western weapons captured on various battlefields. He'd probably like to add some French exponents to his collection.
I'm sure he is full of those, too... Damn.. remember the war in Chechnya...? If somebody would have told me that one thay the Chechens would be the spearhead and the most dedicated, fearles fighters for the Russian Federation, I would just laugh ad tell him he's an idiot.. Putin is a diplomatic master
@@beyondrecall9446 You do realize that Russia has been subsidizing 90% of Chechnya’s economy to the tune of $3.8 billion a year for over 20 years now. The Russian Duma has tried to cut these subsidies, even wondering why they want Chechnya in the Russian Federation but Putin put a stop to that kind of talk! Putin built his reputation as a strong man subduing Chechnya costing 10 years and 15,000 dead … paying off Kaydyrov’s father to turn on his Chechen compatriots
I must say I found it very strange when President Trump met with Biden at the White House and Biden as calm as anything saying he will make the transition as easy as possible! I Didn’t believe a word of it.
I don't think he's making these reckless decisions. I'm being charitable when i write this but it's the body politic of the Democrats and the neocolonialsts driving the car off the cliff. It's all 'in his name' only

It has nothing to do with the wishes of any of the population ... It's simply a war for resources, Ukraine has large oil and gas reserves mainly in the south and east that Putin wants and it also have rare metals used in semi-conductors etc that the US and Russia wants ...
@@andrewwarren4206 - Yes Russian's want that too obviously, as for killing civilians Russia kills it's own so why would it give a damn about anyone from another country ?
One should ask himself the question what would happen if Russia was deploying long range missiles within Mexico or Cuba and allowing strikes on US territory. Or carrying out a coup in those countries installing a fascist regime hostile to the US. How long would it take until the US declares war on those countries? My estimate: 30 minutes.
The USSR tried it in Cuba and it almost lead to a war before they cut and ran. If Russia wants to try something like that in Mexico go ahead but there is no need for them to put missiles in either nation. They can reach the whole US with their current missiles. As can the US reach all of Russia. Its not about the missiles, its about Russia losing its empire and its influence.
@@Jamicaman516 Bullshit. After deploying long range missiles to Cuba the US rejected their missiles within Turkey, which was the original reason why the USSR started arming Cuba. That´s common sense in history today. And btw. it´s not about reaching every point within Russia or the US and West Europe, it´s about reaction time to answer any nuclear strike or better said having capabilitys to carry out a decapitation strike so that this answer couldn´t be carried out anymore. Simple as that. Related to Russias empire, well, what´s about those 800 US bases world wide and their empire? Guess that´s more likely the point about the US loosing their empire instead of the Russians installing one.
@@Jamicaman516 Russia: 5 Bases worldwide, US 800 bases. Well, who´s trying to install an imperium? Guess you´re able to answer this question by yourself.
@@WoistdasÖlkännchen The US removed those missiles months after the USSR removed its missiles from Cuba. And those missiles were already due to be retired, so it cost the US nothing to remove them. The reaction time for these missiles is still only a handful of minutes. A US Ohio class SSBN off the coast of Russia can deliver hundreds of nuclear warheads to most of the central Russia in under 5 minutes. A silent nuclear arsenal that is undetected until it is to late. There is almost no way to get a faster response than that. And Russia knows this and understands it. So putting some missiles in Europe is not going to make Russia more vulnerable, it just creates more issues, hence why the US does not put more than a few nuclear gravity bombs in Europe. It's missiles are housed within the US, or on nuclear subs. The 800 US bases world wide is the result of the US being the sole superpower on the planet and playing the role left to it to help keep the world running. Russia has foreign military bases as well, and wants more of them. Its just expensive to do so, and Russia is pretty poor. And Russia also is more worried about its older empire in eastern Europe rather than stuff overseas. Now with EVERY member of the Warsaw pact now a member of NATO, it means they are outside of the ability of Russia to really interfere with their affairs. And that threat of Russian interference is why neutral nations like Sweden and Finland joined NATO. Even after sitting out the entire cold war as a member of neither side.
Although I like the comment because it's funny, objectively it's not even remotely close to true. If they did in fact love Ukrainans more than their own peasantry they'd have instated a draft and you'd be dying by the hundreds on the daily. Europe is undoubtedly suffering but the the real toll is being exacted by Ukrainans. Don't be so melodramatic
Having watched in disbelief as Ukraine launched both US and UK missiles into Russia, I wonder why we are so focused on Russia responding with nuclear weapons. It seems increasingly likely to me that the first use of nuclear weapons in this conflict will be from Ukraine (the USA) or - more likely - from NATO (the USA). The UK government would jump at the chance to have 'the honour' of committing this suicide. After all one of the greatest pieces of British military literature is a poem accounting the Charge of the Light Brigade, a horrible mistake which led to a massacre in the same part of the world.

" It seems increasingly likely to me that the first use of nuclear weapons in this conflict will be from Ukraine (the USA) or - more likely - from NATO (the USA). " No real sign of nuclear threats from US/UK...Plenty of nuclear threats by Russia plus use of a test-model IRBM on a Ukrainian city by Russia...yet this vatnik thinks the main "nuclear threat" comes from the West & Ukraine...when all the evidence points to RUZZIA & Putin.... Good Luck with that.....
That’s what happens when you outsource your security. At some point it stops being yours. “Those, who don’t want to feed own army, will end up feeding a foreign one”
This is a fascinating and concerning development. Oreshnik sounds like a game-changing weapon in modern warfare, blending advanced technology with the ability to cause devastating effects without crossing the nuclear threshold. The rapid escalation of Russia’s offensive, combined with Western responses, could truly shift the balance of power in this conflict. It's also important to consider the global impact of these developments, from economic strain to the potential for miscalculations. The world is at a critical juncture, and I hope diplomatic solutions can emerge before things spiral further out of control.

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.
"Project Ukraine was initiated in 1917," Obviously some guy who is into conspiracy theory...We all know what happened in 1917..Imperial Russia collapsed and different parts of the Russian Empire: Finland, Armenia, Georgia. Ukraine, Central Asia , the Baltics all decided they wanted to opt-out of any future union with Russia: the prison of nations amid a World War .... "Project Ukraine" is nothing more than a RU propaganda 'conspiracy theory' term....

The Oreshnik bunker buster. 36 Tungsten carbide darts that hit with 2,500m/s and 250x the energy of a anti tank tungsten dart. That command bunker under the old Soviet factory in Dnipro got completely annihilated. Those Tungsten darts will destroy any bunker up to depths of 100m. Zelensky does not dare to go back to his Kiev bunker, because he is next on the list. It was in response to a Storm Shadow attack on a Russian command bunker.
i am surprised that a Storm Shadow can reach the insed of a command bunker Its speed low Bunkers are protected by meters of concrete and steel Why not use abandoned mines by the way Some are located at 1000 meters underground
@@DreadnoughtMonkeys-ou1dr hi thank you for the very kind and valuable reply Interesting They will learn some lessons on how to build bunkers then I would use old mine 200-300 meters are quite normal It is just a matter of create multiple accesses
Judging by the images i saw of the old Soviet style weapons manufacturing factory, the 6 blasts virtually levelled the entire 25 (approx.) hectare site. What was being assembled underground before the strike according to same report, were missile components made in the US which were being assembled, rebranded and then transported near the frontline. Also small rocket engines were being built under the same complex to power NATO's military and intelligence satallites. But unfortunately for Zelenski and so many invested others, everything was destroyed by one bloody big missile that became six.
as to rubezh - no, not really. rs-26 was in final prototyping stage, basically finalized design, oreshnik is not it - did it took much of that design, sure. but much has been updated and final stages are completely different. also whilst it might be intended as conventional, at least initially, as you were correctly informed those are very, very modular designs 😉

Thanks Alex. This factory that was struck, it had a lot of "American" contracts at some point, yes? Although it has been a target earlier on, I wonder if this recent attack was chosen deliberately to send a deeper message of how he can make it Difficult for the West in more ways than direct attacks on wholly European assets. This is one of the most important factories in Ukraine it seems, from what I can tell. Thanks for your insights from Budapest. Let's Hope for a calm Winter PS: Are the Russians taking out the launch sites of these missiles or are they stationed too deep?
Whatever is travelling at speeds of Mach 10 has more explosive power (5.88 mega joules per kg) than TNT (4.18 mega joules per kg). If it is going at Mach 11, the explosive power is 7.12 mega joules per kg, which is even greater than the explosive power of RDX (approx 6.7 mega joules per kg). In other words, the warheads do not even need to carry conventional explosives such as TNT or RDX, they can be filled with lead and still be very effective, if they are going fast enough. I don't know if the energy release if part of the payload is an explosive would be cumulative as a simple sum of the energies, I suspect that the calculation is non-linear.
The issue is that lead is a heavy material which than takes an even larger missile to push it out of the atmosphere and into the kind speeds you list. And while the kinetic energy is more than TNT or other explosives, it still pales in comparison to the heat energy of a nuclear blast. And mach 10 is not that fast for these types of missiles, several US ICBM's reach over Mach 20. As I am sure some Chinese ICBM's.
@@Jamicaman516 A kg is a kg, when calculating kinetic energy. A kg of hydrogen at mach 11 has the same kinetic energy as a kg of lead, and if the volumes are the same, both take the same amount of energy to lift it high into the atmosphere and accelerate to mach 10 or 11. I could just as easily have used iron or lithium as the type of material. Yes, a nuclear blast is a lot bigger, but Russia is saying that the Oreshnik missiles are specifically intended to be non-nuclear, presumably because this means that they can be used in more scenarios. Yes, many types of ICBMs go much faster than mach 10, both US and Russia. However, I was only discussing the Oreshnik missile, not other types of ICBMs.
Sad to say that EU did not see the true target of this war, US has achieved dominance without affect to its economy, EU has achieved loss with major economic turmoil, Russia is thriving, so, ask yourself who the target was when you consider economic factors, we know the result of war is economic collapse, EU, you did not see US coming, not too late to do a 180 and do business with Russia, cheap energy, thriving economy and join to grow strong with BRICS, your ally shot you in the leg and now you are limping into war, that makes no sense, worst of all, your ally will leave you at war alone facing your neighbor, Russia, who you should be trading and befriending, pls wake up EU, US has given Dobby a sock.
"Russia is thriving" Their economy is overheating due to the war....and will soon see massive inflation...Its basically held together with duct tape and emergency measures with 20+ % interest rates and a ruble under threat...
@@ВикторияСафронова-д9щ They will never attack the US as they want to do a deal with the new government. The fact that they used an intermediate range weapon is a sign of that.

Apologizes for actually putting out a video instead of grabbing some sleep. We thank you greatly for your enduring endeavours keeping us up to date in these uncertain difficult time. . Watching the Russian strike with the new weapons was quite chilling.
25:51 Exactly. The key to understanding the “Why?” behind Russia’s development of the Oreshnik lies not in its capacity to be used as an additional nuclear weapons delivery system - Russia already has any number of those - but in the role Oreshnik could play in the execution of large-area conventional strikes, e.g. against critical infrastructure like dams, power generation facilities, factories (Yuzhmash in Dnipro), ports (will Odessa be next?), key bridges and tunnels (is the Beskydy Tunnel - after Kalibr strikes in 2022 that proved ineffective - now back on Russia’s target list?), airfields (Ramstein Air Base), railroad marshaling yards (Maschen Rangierbahnhof, south of Hamburg), highway clover-leaves, military bases and facilities, large troop and armor concentrations, etc. Previously - as we have seen during the NATO-Russia Proxy War - Russia did not possess long-range fire capabilities for attacking such large-area targets without crossing the nuclear threshold. If truly effective - and we still don't really know that it is - Orshenik would provide this capability; at what unit cost, however, is unknown. It should be pointed out that in addition to the modular nature of its payload delivery vehicle Oreshnik integrates ideas that the U.S. military has been exploring for years now: Prompt Global Strike (cf. the Wikipedia article on “Conventional Prompt Strike”) and "Rods from God" (cf. the Wikipedia article on “Kinetic Bombardment”). Note that Russia’s aerospace and weapons engineers have taken a different basing approach, for now apparently favoring the road-mobile deployment concept already widely used by Russia’s RVSN over rail- (recall the БЖРК RT-23 Molodets), submarine- or space-based platforms. Road-mobility keeps the system under Russia’s air-defense umbrella and makes it less vulnerable than it would be in space (e.g. to anti-satellite attack). At the same time it makes it necessary to reduce the size of the kinetic warheads. That said, however, the core principles behind the U.S. and Russian concepts are similar. Expect Russia to unveil a submarine-based Oreshnik variant at some point: Clandestine basing at sea is a logical next step for this weapon. Given that massed Oreshnik attacks would presumably make it possible for Russia to neutralize port infrastructure, moving / supplying troops, equipment and other reinforcements from North America across the Atlantic to Europe (and across the Pacific to Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, BTW) might soon become unfeasible. Thus the geostrategic configuration of the world could gradually take on a form somewhat more like what we saw in Orwell's 1984 world map (cf. the Wikipedia article on “Nineteen Eighty-Four”), the difference being that now, thanks to the ineptitude of U.S. diplomacy and U.S. policy more generally, Russia (Orwell's “Eurasia”) and China (Orwell's “Eastasia”) are essentially united as allies in full opposition to the U.S.-dominated Western / maritime world (Orwell's “Oceania”). The arrogant decision of “neocons” in the West to sabotage all forms of arms control in their decades-long effort to impose Western dominance over the entire planet seems to be backfiring. As the saying goes, “the chickens are coming home to roost”.

By the way, I like these "shorter" videos! They're still comprehensive. Furthermore, even the "short" ones are longer than most of the videos on the channels which I regularly watch.
America is not satisfied with the course of events on the battlefield in Ukraine and therefore wants a far greater sacrifice from the people of Ukraine. On Tuesday, November 19, 2024 RBC UKRAINE reported:
Ukraine has already received a large amount of various American weapons but still finds itself in a difficult situation on the battlefield. The reason for this lies in mobilization issues said a high ranking official of Ukraine's main backer.
Earlier, we [RBC UKRAINE] reported that this spring Ukraine lowered the conscription age from 27 to 25. Additionally, we reported that US officials are trying to persuade Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to approve mobilization starting at age 18. However, he remains firm in his stance.
Comment: A country allegedly not participating directly in a war is calling for the blood of another nation to be spent to suit their own ends and weaken a rival. An awful price to pay for young people, the innocents, who don't understand what is really going on.
A totally accurate and non-biased source like RBC UKRAINE..... wonder what the R stands for?
@@Jamicaman516 What was inaccurate in the report? Just curious
@@capitolpolice1504 Being a Russian media platform, any quote it gives it pretty questionable. Also its pretty clear what side this news source is pushing.
Ukraine's sovereignty has been effectively seized by the elite in the United States. Right now, the tragic reality is that millions of Ukrainian children have been sacrificed, resulting in devastating losses. If peace comes the shortage of men will be bigger than the female.

If somebody would have told me that one thay the Chechens would be the spearhead and the most dedicated, fearles fighters for the Russian Federation, I would just laugh ad tell him he's an idiot.. Putin is a diplomatic master
@@beyondrecall9446 You do realize that Russia has been subsidizing 90% of Chechnya’s economy to the tune of $3.8 billion a year for over 20 years now. The Russian Duma has tried to cut these subsidies, even wondering why they want Chechnya in the Russian Federation but Putin put a stop to that kind of talk! Putin built his reputation as a strong man subduing Chechnya costing 10 years and 15,000 dead … paying off Kaydyrov’s father to turn on his Chechen compatriots

Back home and dropping videos at 3am EST in the USA. Love it.
One should ask himself the question what would happen if Russia was deploying long range missiles within Mexico or Cuba and allowing strikes on US territory. Or carrying out a coup in those countries installing a fascist regime hostile to the US. How long would it take until the US declares war on those countries? My estimate: 30 minutes.
The USSR tried it in Cuba and it almost lead to a war before they cut and ran. If Russia wants to try something like that in Mexico go ahead but there is no need for them to put missiles in either nation. They can reach the whole US with their current missiles. As can the US reach all of Russia. Its not about the missiles, its about Russia losing its empire and its influence.
@@Jamicaman516 Bullshit. After deploying long range missiles to Cuba the US rejected their missiles within Turkey, which was the original reason why the USSR started arming Cuba. That´s common sense in history today. And btw. it´s not about reaching every point within Russia or the US and West Europe, it´s about reaction time to answer any nuclear strike or better said having capabilitys to carry out a decapitation strike so that this answer couldn´t be carried out anymore. Simple as that. Related to Russias empire, well, what´s about those 800 US bases world wide and their empire? Guess that´s more likely the point about the US loosing their empire instead of the Russians installing one.
@@WoistdasÖlkännchenDon't study @Jamacianjacka55 he is low iq
@@Jamicaman516 Russia: 5 Bases worldwide, US 800 bases. Well, who´s trying to install an imperium? Guess you´re able to answer this question by yourself.
@@WoistdasÖlkännchen The US removed those missiles months after the USSR removed its missiles from Cuba. And those missiles were already due to be retired, so it cost the US nothing to remove them.
The reaction time for these missiles is still only a handful of minutes. A US Ohio class SSBN off the coast of Russia can deliver hundreds of nuclear warheads to most of the central Russia in under 5 minutes. A silent nuclear arsenal that is undetected until it is to late. There is almost no way to get a faster response than that. And Russia knows this and understands it.
So putting some missiles in Europe is not going to make Russia more vulnerable, it just creates more issues, hence why the US does not put more than a few nuclear gravity bombs in Europe. It's missiles are housed within the US, or on nuclear subs.
The 800 US bases world wide is the result of the US being the sole superpower on the planet and playing the role left to it to help keep the world running. Russia has foreign military bases as well, and wants more of them. Its just expensive to do so, and Russia is pretty poor. And Russia also is more worried about its older empire in eastern Europe rather than stuff overseas.
Now with EVERY member of the Warsaw pact now a member of NATO, it means they are outside of the ability of Russia to really interfere with their affairs. And that threat of Russian interference is why neutral nations like Sweden and Finland joined NATO. Even after sitting out the entire cold war as a member of neither side.
C'est incroyable de voir nos dirigeants s’intéressés plus à l’Ukraine que de leurs propres peuples !
Heart warming isn't it😂
Although I like the comment because it's funny, objectively it's not even remotely close to true. If they did in fact love Ukrainans more than their own peasantry they'd have instated a draft and you'd be dying by the hundreds on the daily. Europe is undoubtedly suffering but the the real toll is being exacted by Ukrainans. Don't be so melodramatic
Having watched in disbelief as Ukraine launched both US and UK missiles into Russia, I wonder why we are so focused on Russia responding with nuclear weapons. It seems increasingly likely to me that the first use of nuclear weapons in this conflict will be from Ukraine (the USA) or - more likely - from NATO (the USA). The UK government would jump at the chance to have 'the honour' of committing this suicide. After all one of the greatest pieces of British military literature is a poem accounting the Charge of the Light Brigade, a horrible mistake which led to a massacre in the same part of the world.

This is a fascinating and concerning development. Oreshnik sounds like a game-changing weapon in modern warfare, blending advanced technology with the ability to cause devastating effects without crossing the nuclear threshold. The rapid escalation of Russia’s offensive, combined with Western responses, could truly shift the balance of power in this conflict. It's also important to consider the global impact of these developments, from economic strain to the potential for miscalculations. The world is at a critical juncture, and I hope diplomatic solutions can emerge before things spiral further out of control.
The west has so long time been talking about game-changing weapons, and now there seems to be one. But on the "wrong" side...

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.
"Project Ukraine was initiated in 1917," Obviously some guy who is into conspiracy theory...We all know what happened in 1917..Imperial Russia collapsed and different parts of the Russian Empire: Finland, Armenia, Georgia. Ukraine, Central Asia , the Baltics all decided they wanted to opt-out of any future union with Russia: the prison of nations amid a World War .... "Project Ukraine" is nothing more than a RU propaganda 'conspiracy theory' term....

The Oreshnik bunker buster. 36 Tungsten carbide darts that hit with 2,500m/s and 250x the energy of a anti tank tungsten dart.

Welcome back Alex. The events in the west are deeply unsettling
I'm going to sue the elites for the stress they are doing
Judging by the images i saw of the old Soviet style weapons manufacturing factory, the 6 blasts virtually levelled the entire 25 (approx.) hectare site.
What was being assembled underground before the strike according to same report, were missile components made in the US which were being assembled, rebranded and then transported near the frontline.
Also small rocket engines were being built under the same complex to power NATO's military and intelligence satallites.
But unfortunately for Zelenski and so many invested others, everything was destroyed by one bloody big missile that became six.
as to rubezh - no, not really. rs-26 was in final prototyping stage, basically finalized design, oreshnik is not it - did it took much of that design, sure. but much has been updated and final stages are completely different. also whilst it might be intended as conventional, at least initially, as you were correctly informed those are very, very modular designs 😉

Thanks Alex. This factory that was struck, it had a lot of "American" contracts at some point, yes? Although it has been a target earlier on, I wonder if this recent attack was chosen deliberately to send a deeper message of how he can make it Difficult for the West in more ways than direct attacks on wholly European assets. This is one of the most important factories in Ukraine it seems, from what I can tell. Thanks for your insights from Budapest. Let's Hope for a calm Winter PS: Are the Russians taking out the launch sites of these missiles or are they stationed too deep?
Whatever is travelling at speeds of Mach 10 has more explosive power (5.88 mega joules per kg) than TNT (4.18 mega joules per kg). If it is going at Mach 11, the explosive power is 7.12 mega joules per kg, which is even greater than the explosive power of RDX (approx 6.7 mega joules per kg). In other words, the warheads do not even need to carry conventional explosives such as TNT or RDX, they can be filled with lead and still be very effective, if they are going fast enough. I don't know if the energy release if part of the payload is an explosive would be cumulative as a simple sum of the energies, I suspect that the calculation is non-linear.
The issue is that lead is a heavy material which than takes an even larger missile to push it out of the atmosphere and into the kind speeds you list. And while the kinetic energy is more than TNT or other explosives, it still pales in comparison to the heat energy of a nuclear blast. And mach 10 is not that fast for these types of missiles, several US ICBM's reach over Mach 20. As I am sure some Chinese ICBM's.
@@Jamicaman516 A kg is a kg, when calculating kinetic energy. A kg of hydrogen at mach 11 has the same kinetic energy as a kg of lead, and if the volumes are the same, both take the same amount of energy to lift it high into the atmosphere and accelerate to mach 10 or 11. I could just as easily have used iron or lithium as the type of material. Yes, a nuclear blast is a lot bigger, but Russia is saying that the Oreshnik missiles are specifically intended to be non-nuclear, presumably because this means that they can be used in more scenarios. Yes, many types of ICBMs go much faster than mach 10, both US and Russia. However, I was only discussing the Oreshnik missile, not other types of ICBMs.

25:51 Exactly. The key to understanding the “Why?” behind Russia’s development of the Oreshnik lies not in its capacity to be used as an additional nuclear weapons delivery system - Russia already has any number of those - but in the role Oreshnik could play in the execution of large-area conventional strikes, e.g. against critical infrastructure like dams, power generation facilities, factories (Yuzhmash in Dnipro), ports (will Odessa be next?), key bridges and tunnels (is the Beskydy Tunnel - after Kalibr strikes in 2022 that proved ineffective - now back on Russia’s target list?), airfields (Ramstein Air Base), railroad marshaling yards (Maschen Rangierbahnhof, south of Hamburg), highway clover-leaves, military bases and facilities, large troop and armor concentrations, etc. Previously - as we have seen during the NATO-Russia Proxy War - Russia did not possess long-range fire capabilities for attacking such large-area targets without crossing the nuclear threshold. If truly effective - and we still don't really know that it is - Orshenik would provide this capability; at what unit cost, however, is unknown. It should be pointed out that in addition to the modular nature of its payload delivery vehicle Oreshnik integrates ideas that the U.S. military has been exploring for years now: Prompt Global Strike (cf. the Wikipedia article on “Conventional Prompt Strike”) and "Rods from God" (cf. the Wikipedia article on “Kinetic Bombardment”). Note that Russia’s aerospace and weapons engineers have taken a different basing approach, for now apparently favoring the road-mobile deployment concept already widely used by Russia’s RVSN over rail- (recall the БЖРК RT-23 Molodets), submarine- or space-based platforms. Road-mobility keeps the system under Russia’s air-defense umbrella and makes it less vulnerable than it would be in space (e.g. to anti-satellite attack). At the same time it makes it necessary to reduce the size of the kinetic warheads. That said, however, the core principles behind the U.S. and Russian concepts are similar. Expect Russia to unveil a submarine-based Oreshnik variant at some point: Clandestine basing at sea is a logical next step for this weapon. Given that massed Oreshnik attacks would presumably make it possible for Russia to neutralize port infrastructure, moving / supplying troops, equipment and other reinforcements from North America across the Atlantic to Europe (and across the Pacific to Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, BTW) might soon become unfeasible. Thus the geostrategic configuration of the world could gradually take on a form somewhat more like what we saw in Orwell's 1984 world map (cf. the Wikipedia article on “Nineteen Eighty-Four”), the difference being that now, thanks to the ineptitude of U.S. diplomacy and U.S. policy more generally, Russia (Orwell's “Eurasia”) and China (Orwell's “Eastasia”) are essentially united as allies in full opposition to the U.S.-dominated Western / maritime world (Orwell's “Oceania”). The arrogant decision of “neocons” in the West to sabotage all forms of arms control in their decades-long effort to impose Western dominance over the entire planet seems to be backfiring. As the saying goes, “the chickens are coming home to roost”.
