Where are YOU from? Detroit? Chicago? That's what all the pictures look like except for the smoke trails and a couple of streaming lights. Could be ANY low-rent neighborhood/project/slums from the pics.
Then in the first couple of paragraphs, they claim to have 'intercepted' it, whatever "it" was and blown it into pieces. Yeah, and kim-jung-ill plays a perfect game of golf too. Not to mention first person on the moon or so he claims.
Real meteorites travel several times the speed of sound -I would LOVE to know what kind of missile they threw at it to blow it up. Or maybe they just were quick on the slingshots that day?
Sounds like you haven’t seen the videos of this thing. Absolutely incredible. In at least two videos I saw, the photographer is filming a peculiar looking contrail overhead, russian chatting can be heard in the background, when KABLAM! what sounds like a stick of dynamite goes off which knocks the person and their camera to the ground, with sounds of shattering windows and car alarms going off. Incredible is a mild word for what I saw.
“Where are YOU from? Detroit? Chicago? ...”
I wasn’t referring to the architecture or the accuracy of the Russian media.
“Real meteorites travel several times the speed of sound”
Your main point is entirely correct, but off by a few orders of magnitude. SAM’s can knock out targets traveling several times the speed of sound, about 750 mph or so.
“When the Patriot system was first designed, the primary targets were Soviet aircraft and cruise missiles travelling at speeds around MACH 2, and only operating at a few hours at a time. However, in Operation Desert Storm, they were deployed as static defences (operating continuously), tracking and intercepting Scud missiles travelling at speeds of approximately MACH 5.6 Consequently, the U.S. army had to learn how to adapt the Patriot for targets of much higher velocity.” http://sydney.edu.au/engineering/it/~alum/patriot_bug.html
However, meteorites travel at 7 to 45 miles per SECOND, roughly 30 to 200 times the speed of sound.
