its a curious thing to experience as this russian hardware advance seems to have caught considerably less attention than it deserves;

So far, almost nobody in the west fully comprehends the Oreshnik weapon system just demonstrated by Russia. Hat tip to Ted Postol, Scott Ritter and Brian Berletic, the only 3 people I’ve found so far who fully understand this. I’ve done the math on the kinetic energy of the submunitions (using estimates for mass), and I’ve studied up on what’s publicly known about these weapons so far. My conclusion? NATO is done. The west has no idea what just hit them. Russia’s Oreshnik weapon system is checkmate for NATO and the USA. All U.S. aircraft carriers can be destroyed in minutes. All U.S. military bases, all underground bunkers, all ICBM launch sites, naval shipyards, etc., can be destroyed with NON-NUCLEAR kinetic energy via the Oreshnik. There are no active treaties (that I’m aware of) prohibiting this weapon system, and it doesn’t destroy surrounding infrastructure or masses of civilians. It is a devastating, unstoppable surgical strike weapon that basically drops metal lightning out of the sky like Thor’s Hammer or the comets of God. Nobody has any defense against it, and the range of these weapons, once mounted on intercontinental boosters, is global. The west must now either back off or go nuclear. They will probably choose to go nuclear out of desperation, be warned. Russia has just changed the course of warfare and achieved global dominance. NOBODY in the western press even has a clue. They are too stupid, too woke or too arrogant to realize what just happened. This is like playing chess with Putin and thinkin you might be competitive, then suddenly Putin’s queen unleashes a flamethrower across the chess board and roasts all your pieces, setting them on fire. You thought you were playing “chess” but Putin was playing a different game called “flamethrower.” It’s that big of a deal...........more...........
