My wife and I were about to go to sleep when we heard this, it was so loud, 5 minutes after hearing the air raid sirens, rushed to the shelter immediately. It was nothing like the previous missile attacks.

    This is obviously terrible, but i have a question that may be dumb. The video looks like lightning strikes. Is that just rockets moving that fast when they hit?

    I hope everyone is safe!

  2. So, as usual, reentry vehicles miles apart. No precision at all. Fucking hail mary for several dozens millions dollars. Shit is scary and the damage to nearby civilian targets is more likely than on the intended target. But the effect on the intended target is probably about zero, for the price of two dozens Iskander ballistic missiles or more, and the rate of production one per two years.

  3. Isnt Oreshnik basically a big noisy waste of time as it was meant to be for nuclear not conventional warfare? Sure its flashy but it doesnt seem to have any real military effect bar scaring the locals from what I can see.

    Obviously hope people are safe out there btw and noone was hurt.

  4. I wonder if the soldiers that are pushing the launch buttons know that they are inert warheads, or if they even care.

    At some future point, after conditioning the monkeys that pushing the button does not have all that much moral gravitas, will their commanders “forget” to tell them that the next launch has an active nuke aboard so that launching will be a reflex with no pesky resistance

  5. This is terrible but each Oreshnik missile is estimated to be around 25 million usd. This is a huge waste of money for Russia really. They’d only be firing stuff like this if they’re angry and desperate really in my book.

    russia really showing desperation by doing this terror attack, which i guessed they probably feels humiliated after putin reads their yearly report for the ongoing Stupid Military Operation which if not terrible then its disastrous, losing or about to losing allies and got jawdropped by the real world’s strongest military.

    sane minds would just call it quits but not for putin it seems, so insane.

  7. Wife has family in that area, they have checked in. I really, really… super really, want to see the invaders get their dues, tenfold.
