Damn…
It is Russia’s single most advanced conventional weapon – 13 times as fast as a tomahawk, with 3x the payload. […] The Kinzhal is nuclear capable. [Putin] just demoed Russia’s premier tactical-nuke delivery system in Ukraine.
The Pentagon surely is going to get even more billions sometime soon so the US can have something even better ASAP.
And they’re going to give it to Elon Musk to build a new hypersonic penis-shaped missile. He’ll promise that his Wunderwaffe will be able to travel ten thousand kilometres through air, water or solid rock. After ten years of research and obscene amounts of money spent, he’ll put nukes on the backseats of Teslas and call it a day.
he’ll put nukes on the backseats of Teslas
People will call it the TT for Tesla Technical and he’ll get really pissed off.
A nuclear technical actually existed in the 1960s. A guy made a replica of a Davy Crockett mounted on a jeep.

The real budget is already above $1tn :doomjak:
Lots of :cope: in that thread:
- Russia is only using the Kinzhal because they’re running out of other missiles!
- The US probably has a better missile and/or defense systems capable of intercepting Kinzhals, they’re just not telling the public!
One of the standard armchair things is massively massively overestimating anti-missile capabilities.
I wonder how anti hyper sonic missile defense could even work. All that momentum has to go somewhere, I guess you could divert it by smashing another faster rocket into it lol. Overheat it with laser? But it’s moving so fast you wouldn’t even have time to get a bead and fire long enough with enough wattage, surely…
This is my thought as well. Prominent voices within NATO talks for entering the war, the Baltic countries wants a no fly zone, Poland wants NATO to send “peacekeepers” to the Ukraine. Using the Kinzhal reminds NATO that Russia is perfectly capable of hurting them if they do something stupid.
Reminds me of when Iran would use missiles too, kinda like a reminder that they can just blow up Saudi refineries or water or even a US carrier.
