No loser. We took over the whole in 90 days, something your glorious comnades couldn’t do in 10 years.

“ A couple of things about using the hypersonic missile, SO WHAT ??

It’s a couple of missiles that didn’t materially change anything on the battlefield.

The most effective use of a ‘terrifying’ weapon is the *threat* of using it. But once you have used it, yes there will be some damage, it’s not terrifying anymore. That’s why you don’t actually want to use it. Putin is using up all his cards. When he has nothing left to play, as a last resort he will possibly either drop a tactical thermonuclear weapon (low radiation) somewhere in Ukraine or threaten to do so unless Ukraine surrenders. If it gets to that stage it will be a turning point in the war. Either he will be killed, deposed or NATO will get involved.

LOL. British DefSec stated that Russia has run out of missiles on the third day, and the military only has MREs for that time. The missiles are still raining and nobody has died of hunger. The Ukrainian Army or what is left of it in the meantime, can’t move, conscripts everyone 18-60, and sends American SpecOp volunteers in human wave attacks to die in droves against combined arms.

And ended up fleeing the country with our tails between our legs with 13 of our marines slaughtered at Kabul Airport, after abandoning thousands of American civilians in Afghanistan.
A humiliating and disgraceful performance if I ever saw one.
Much worse than the withdrawal from Vietnam.
That's what you get when a demented old fool steals the elections and doesn't have a clue what to do.

Didn’t take long at all for the name calling and personal insults to destroy another thread.

Excellent point. Even if this was a hypersonic missile (no real proof) , all it shows is how inept Putin is. He wasted a valuable resource for no compelling military advantage. There was no missle defense system to defeat to hit that site. More clueless inept bumbling by the 9D chess master with the bloated pumpkin head.

Well the “brilliant military genius” who did this is going to deplete Russia’s arsenal and leave the country vulnerable. China is going to love that. Moscowites need to start learning manderine.

Sorry Vlad, that was done by an illegitimate POTUS. A majority of Americans elected Trump twice and his plan to exit Afghanistan was solid.

I’m very concerned for your well being. As lovesick over Vlad and Russia as you are, I fear you’ll hurt youself when you finally realise what a flaming screwup this was for them.

There is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Milley, who is actually supposed to run the military and has done so for quite a while.
It's still a disgrace and total humiliation for America. And it invalidates your screeching about Russia in Ukraine when America was just chased out of Afghanistan by a bunch of stone age savages.

his real message is to Europe. That he can launch hypersonic missiles on them too. And the USA if he is really advanced/
..........................
Exactly. A demonstration.
Austin, Milley, are you watching? Pointless to ask Biden.All he could say is”Huh?”

Clueless - In our system of government, the POTUS is commander-in-chief, not the Joint Chiefs Chairman. And you obviously missed the stories posted here many times how the US military did not agree witb the vegetable’s plan.

That, coming from a Dementia Joe voter, really makes me laugh.

Comrade, you are outing yourself by displaying a lack of knowledge about America. I see a reassignment to FreeSweden or FreeBotswana in your future.

moron. stop drooling over propaganda. use your brain.

he didn’t fire the single missile to scare or intimidate ukraine.

he did it to demonstrate his hypersonic weapons tech to the US.

why? because we don’t have any and we can’t shoot them down.

Wow, some of the dumbest comments I have ever seen here on FR in the last 24 years.

Any missile that can carry nukes can carry a conventional explosive...
Russia is going as fast as they planned, after all Biden only authorized a limited incursion...
Russia doesn’t want civilian casualties all over the news, that is why photos from years old gas line explosions show up on the news...
Missiles can go really fast, especially ones dropped from high altitude, see the X-15 from the 60’s, or Orbital ATK rockets...
Heat shielding tech has advanced tremendously in the last thirty years...
ICBMs can impact at over 15,000 per hour, again 60’s technology...
