Russian President Putin announces military operation in Ukraine

On April 20, at 5:30 pm, Russia announced the successful launch of a new type of ICBM at the Plesetsk spacecraft, the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, which had destroyed targets on the Kamchatka Peninsula.

A type of missile like the Sarmat, called the Satan II in the West, has the head of several independently controlled nuclear cartridges, the missile contains smaller missiles (10-15) that are launched at a given moment and each has its own target. Sarmat is also a supersonic speed device that uses the upper layers of the atmosphere and is supposedly invincible by any of the defense systems that exist today. Supposedly.

This rocket test was planned earlier and is not a whim, and the rocket development itself began in 2009. For a long time, it was not even possible to create a prototype, later tests were postponed, and so on. Last year, it was planned that 5 test launches would be made in 2022 and then 20 units would be armed with these missiles.

DEVELOPMENT OF HYPER - SOUND ROCKETS

The carrier itself is not a problem - Russians (an army that likes to rape kids) have enough rockets to do the job. The problem is what flies out of those missiles - i.e. hypersound devices that are supposedly impossible to knockdown.

Hyperspeed?

Hypersonic speed is 1500-3000 meters per second or flies from Munich to Prague in about a minute.

Temperature

What material to use for such a rocket? The surface temperature of a supersonic rocket heats up to 2200 degrees Celsius from friction (Lockheed Martin data). Titanium melts at about 1600 degrees. Titanium is a popular metal in aerospace engineering because of its lightness and hardness. The temperature of the fire in which the wood burns is about 600 degrees. Now imagine a rocket in the middle stuffed with communication modules, controls, and other electronics that also can’t burn.

Communication

The hypersonic missile must be controlled. Can’t run a nuclear cartridge and forget about it. Everything would be ok, but during a hypersonic flight, the gas (air) on the outside of the rocket turns into plasma (Lockheed Martin data). Plasma can block communication signals that always occur when crossing the Earth's atmosphere (e.g., NASA astronauts had no communication in their landing module).

Navigation

When an object is moving at such a speed, its electronics must work super accurately, because traditional means are not enough to control such a cartridge at the target. As a result, all microelectromechanical devices must be of the highest class. Not just good, but top-notch.

Maneuvering

At such a speed, any adjustment of the course immediately turns into huge loads on the rocket hull and the outer elements that have those tremendous forces to hold and not smash to pieces.

Integration

Creating those things described above is one thing, and intertwining them with each other, sorry, is not a lego with a child construct. Any change in one element immediately changes all other parameters that need to be rebuilt. Probably the closest example would be: when dropping without a parachute, try to untie the cords of the iPhone headphones that have been pulled out of your pocket.

Aerodynamics

The rocket must also be smooth for airflow, but must also have external elements that generate lift. Like an airplane span. All this must also be coordinated in such a way that the accuracy, speed, and durability of the flight are not compromised. And you still need to be able to distribute the weight correctly. Supersonic (e.g., fighter) system engineers have historical data on perennial experiments and real-world systems in operation, while hypersonic systems engineers usually have to discover everything themselves.

IN THE MEANING OF REALITY

- In Ukraine, meanwhile, people have swallowed or painted signs because they realized that the second world army tended to wander and did not have any normal means of navigation. The means of communication with the occupiers are all kinds of civilian and Chinese-made bofengas.

- Production of the fifth-generation multifunction fighter SU-57 has not started, because in 10 years Russia has not been able to produce a functional fuselage and engine that meets the requirements for a real fifth-generation military aircraft.

- On February 25 photos of the alleged Sarmat rocket were distributed through pro-Russian propaganda channels, but this turned out to be untrue. This was confirmed by the AFP Factcheck study.

- In 2019, another type of ICBM - 9M730 Burevestnik, an experimental nuclear-fueled missile with virtually unlimited range, exploded near the village of Nyonoksa in the Arkhangelsk region. Five soldiers and engineers were killed and three were injured in the landfill. The explosion was recorded at the Bardufoss Observatory (Troms, Norway).

- The best Russian rocket engines RD-180 are based on RD-170 engines, which is a 40-year-old technology baby.

- The Russian Sukhoi SuperJet will actually be out of service after half a year because there are no parts for the engine that was developed without the French.

- KamAZ will resume production of 1960 models. Lada will produce light cars without electrical components...

I don’t know about you, but I can’t believe that in one area everything is so good that it is impossible to replicate anywhere else in the world, and elsewhere so bad that it is close to the level of North Korea.

The South China Morning Post reports that China has set up a test site for nuclear weapons to destroy bunkers, in which they investigated how to destroy such underground structures as possible. It turned out that the bunker could be destroyed at depths of up to 2 km using modern nuclear weapons.

Putin’s bunker near the Ural Mountains is 300 meters deep.

How such a bunker could be destroyed? USA 2016 developed nuclear missile B61-12 that is not powerful (compared to others), from 0.3 to 50 kilotons (21 kiloton bomb was dropped and Nagasaki). It is super accurate and allows you to destroy targets without destroying everything within a radius of tens of kilometers.

How it works: From a spacecraft, just above the target, throw those nuclear missiles (a total of about 12, and possibly up to 30). The missiles are launched from an altitude of 500 km and can develop speeds of more than 35,000 km/h. No defense system can react to a device flying so fast. It would appear to observers on the ground that a meteorite was falling at a vertical angle, followed by a line of light flying through the rocket. The whole process would take about 1 minute and the Putler bunker would be gone (you can see the tests on the Sandia National Labs Youtube channel). The missiles can also be carried by the latest F-35 multifunction fighter, which, despite the insights of the writers, is not seen by any Russian anti-aircraft defense system.

Perhaps that is why the U.S. military is working on weapons such as this one:

Fuel And Ammo Depots Keep Blowing Up In Russia. Ukraine’s Ballistic Missiles Might Be Why.
But the Russians, lacking significant anti-ballistic-missile defenses, can’t count on shooting down a Tochka. Nor can they jam it, as the rocket relies on inertial guidance requiring no external data. The Tochka knows where it launches from and where it needs to go. Internal gyros help it to adjust its course.

VIDEO: Ukraine destroys 4 Russian armored vehicles in a row with missiles --


One Ukrainian anti-tank weapon, Stugna-P, destroyed four Russian tanks in a row in Kharkiv, according to videos shared on social media. From a first-person perspective, the videos show the viewfinder of the Stugna-P as it is being aimed and fired, weapons that along with shoulder-fired missiles, drones and artillery are destroying Russia's armored vehicles in droves.
Stugna-P can attack tanks up to 3.1 miles and as together with missiles like the shoulder-fired Javelin is exacting a heavy toll on Russian armored vehicles, with researchers estimated Russia has lost 571 tanks in two months of war. Helpful for stealth attacks, Stugna-P can be set up on a tripod and camouflaged so that operators can hide before setting off the weapon with a remote control.

Go Lithuania!

Lithuanian Railways (LZHD) will dismiss about 2 thousand people due to sanctions against Russia and Belarus.
According to Delfi, this is due to the loss of millions of tons of transit cargo.
Currently, 9.2 thousand Lithuanians work in the LZHD. It turns out that more than one in five of them will be fired.

A small price for freedom. In fact, a very tiny infinitesimal price for freedom.

All of Eastern Europe remembers fifty years of slavery in the Soviet Union. Some Eastern European nations recall hundreds of years of Russian occupation before that. And Russia has not changed.

Your comments are ludicrous. But I do like the GIF of your daily flagellation in propitiation for your warped thinking.
 

German energy giant Uniper gives in to Russian rouble demand​


https://www.bbc.com/news/business-61257846
------ quote start

One of Germany's biggest energy firms has said it is preparing to buy Russian gas using a payment system that critics say will undermine EU sanctions.

Uniper says it will pay in euros which will be converted into roubles, meeting a Kremlin demand for all transactions to be made in the Russian currency.

Other European energy firms are reportedly preparing to do the same amid concerns about supply cuts.
Uniper said it had no choice but said it was still abiding by EU sanctions.

"We consider a payment conversion compliant with sanctions law and the Russian decree to be possible," a spokesman told the BBC.

"For our company and for Germany as a whole, it is not possible to do without Russian gas in the short term; this would have dramatic consequences for our economy."

Germany's biggest energy supplier RWE declined to comment on how it would pay for Russian gas.

They will get good compensation by the way.

Also, tell this to thousands of raped women, children, and also men.

I have a feeling they (Germany) are now preparing for the other gas sources and just can't risk turning it off now immediately. Time will show, right?

So Lithuania from now on will fire one worker for every raped human being in the world in retaliation?

Nope, you absolutely missed my point, buddy.

The fellow above told this right - it's a small price Lithuanians have to pay. Be sure people are not stressed about that ;) It's not that bad in Lithuania like now in Russia. They can easily find other jobs (available positions are ALWAYS open). Lithuanians don't have ridiculous prices in retail stores, etc. So no panic at all as you might think ;)

Oooo It is so sweet to see the world caring so much for Ukraine!

McDonald's losses due to the termination of work in Russia and Ukraine amounted to $127 million.

This is 2.5 times more than expected.

According to the company's report for the first quarter of 2022, $27 million was spent on rent payments, salaries for employees of temporarily closed outlets, as well as payments to suppliers.

In addition, McDonald's has written off $100 million worth of food stocks, which are likely to deteriorate. At the same time, the company noted that this expense item may increase further.

In total, according to the report, according to the results of the first quarter, the profit of the American fast food chain fell by 28% compared to the beginning of last year.

Russian mobile coffins. Russian tanks and armored vehicles have a serious design flaw, which is why they have lost so many of them. Russian engineering at its finest.
Unlike modern Western tanks, Russian ones carry multiple shells within their turrets. This makes them highly vulnerable as even an indirect hit can start a chain reaction that explodes their entire ammunition store of up to 40 shells. The resulting shockwave can be enough to blast the tank's turret as high as a two-story building, as can be seen in a recent video on social media.

"What we are witnessing with Russian tanks is a design flaw," said Sam Bendett, adviser with the Russia Studies Program at CNA and an adjunct senior fellow with the Center for a New American Security. "Any successful hit ... quickly ignites the ammo causing a massive explosion, and the turret is literally blown off."
Drummond said exploding munitions are causing problems for almost all of the armored vehicles Russia is using in Ukraine. He gave the example of the BMD-4 infantry fighting vehicle, typically manned by up to three crew and able to carry another five soldiers. He said the BMD-4 was a "mobile coffin" that was "just obliterated" when hit by a rocket.

Interesting articles. We are heading for potentially two parallel financial systems. One dollar based and the other national currency based. One in the west and one in the east. China must be watching all this closely especially the US asset confiscation actions. Won't be fun if China has $1trn in treasuries seized and Chinese billionaires and companies have their assets seized and all because maybe China made a move to re-unify Taiwan.

I hope things get dialed down in this conflict and mutual ground can be found. This conflict has opened up a much wider debate that has been festering in the background over use of sanctions. Sanctions will not work in this conflict. They have never fully worked against Cuba, Iran, North Korea or even Syria etc so what makes them think it will work against Russia.

I would hate to see the world split in two with nations having to pick sides over this current conflict. A world with two spheres of influence and the middle ground nations playing both sides is not good. Once the geopolitical horse trading is done over this conflict like we are seeing being practiced by some countries the ultimately losers in this conflict will be the average person due to inflation and instability.
