2 out of 6 are real warheads. The rest are heavy penaids.
Penaids don't make it to the surface and hit the target... penaids distract the air defence or ABM defence and in this case would be completely redundant.
Also points to Kinzhal type penetrators - with hypersonic impacts the hole is at least twice as large as the penetrator itself.
Look at a tank... when an APFSDS round hits heavy armour that is hollow it punches a relatively small hole not a lot bigger than the penetrator itself... obviously with a building the holes will be rather larger, but when an ICBM warhead hits the ground... the dummy warheads make craters 15-20m across because of the shockwaves they create where they compress the ground and the soil collapses from the top.
In this case a hard penetrator penetrating a building is going to rip a hole rather larger than the penetrator because the impact is going to drag material down with it... but not tens of metres. One to two metres of material would cave in with the penetrator as it rips through in a fraction of a second.
And yes, they are nuclear.
If they were nuclear the US would be going apeshit that Putin used nukes...
That would be the excuse Biden is hoping for...
You really think that strike had a huge impact?
I honestly do.
The west is ruled by the war faction, but they don't want a nuclear war with Russia. They think Putin is a rational sensible person who would never commit suicide so they can keep pushing and pushing and eventually he will give up because being a good christian he would never destroy his own country and himself with nuclear war.
Half are using US news papers.... the media arm of the CIA... they have been throwing out ideas all this time to see how the public and the enemy react to these stupid ideas... the current ideas is HATO troops in Ukraine and returning the nukes to Kiev, and before that it was fasttrack Kiev into HATO so HATO is obliged to protect them... their problem is that HATO will not vote for Kiev to join... Germany does not want war with Russia which is why their Taurus missiles are not going to Kiev.
The tough guys in the US admin who are fearful of Trump think they can goad Putin into using nukes or something stupid like they do all the time.
The talk of HATO troops and nuclear weapons for Kiev have both been denied already... so what can they do?
Kiev will keep trying to turn the heat up, but this attack really hurt them bad... they had things going on there and they are upset about losing them.
Even if Kiev does something stupid and gets a lucky hit that does real damage for Russia it is now easy... these missiles reach their targets and against specific target types do incredible damage... most of the most important western secret shit in Europe is in bunkers and most are much smaller than that facility that they hit.
Hitting a bunker complex under Kiev or any European city with 36 separate penetrators will be devastating... and it just requires the missile to be loaded on a truck and fired... no worries about enemy air defence or aircraft locations because they might shoot it down...
If Kiev hits oil facilities Putin could hit a north sea oil rig belonging to the UK... 30 minute warning to vacate and then smash it...
I hope...If Russia does need to retaliate again I hope they hit Lviv and Odessa, like you said, right on NATO's doorsteps...spook em some more....
Putin wants to send a message but he wont murder innocents the way the US does. Like this attack, the target will be military and it will affect Kievs ability to fight this conflict... A US base in Poland that supplies weapons or equipment or repairs vehicles and/or aircraft... 30 minute warning and then boom... and tell them not to hide in the bunkers because that is what you are going to be aiming at. Normally that is stupid because it means they might stop your attack if they know exactly what and whre you are hitting them, but the reality is you could give them a weeks notice and they likely still couldn't stop this weapon.
And when the politicians realise this how cocky do you think they will be in negotiations?
Of course Russia doesn't care if they never negotiate... they will finish the job.
But as the US is trying to up the ante and get Russia to react, eventually Russia will have to react.
They talk about Putin and all his hundreds of red lines and they call them bluffs that have been ignored... normally when western propaganda talks about things they describe their own behaviour and call it their enemies behaviour... it is the west that bluffs.
Trump said he would flood the Ukraine with weapons and ammo and money and other aid.... but he wont send troops because what happened to their Leopards and Abrams tanks and bradleys and other super weapons... not talk of F-16s any more... the French talk of troops gets rolled back as fast as it is reported... they are arrogant but not suicidal.
There is no special force fields around HATO troops that keeps them protected... they have never faced an enemy with air power and artillery capability like Russia.
I am unsure on their tactic. Whatever it is, it's working very slowly, giving ample time for the west to react and stir more trouble.
Their tactic? Let the caravans move while the dogs bark.
They are being used as a testing ground for a weapon they have zero defense against and that they have virtually no warning of - under the most optimal conditions a US satellite can detect its launch some 7-8 minutes before it impacts its target in the Ukraine and even then they won't know what that target is.
It is a weapon Russia can give them 30 minutes warning for and they still couldn't do anything about it except evacuate.
