[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hypersonic weapons are not being used here.  They are designed to go into orbit and circle in orbit around Earth for a while before being directed downward at a target.  This makes them hard to track and predict compared to older ICBMs.[/quote]

You’re wrong.

Russia has be using Iskandr-M hypersonic missiles since the first day of the war. The one used Saturday to destroy the military facility in western Ukraine was an air-launched variant previously unused outside of prototype testing.

It destroyed an underground weapons depot with $400 million dollars worth of US supplied weapons, including virtually all of the recently delivered switchblade drones, as well as most of the stingers and javelins. The missile attack also killed ~ 700 Ukrainians and foreign volunteers. [/quote]

Did it really destroy one? I thought that was debunked.

Russia seems to have poorly maintained trucks with bad tires that get stuck or fall apart. What do I know? But I am skeptical they did destroy a depot. They are going after easy targets like unarmed civilians. [/quote]

Not sure. Reports say “ Russia claims” so who knows what’s true.[/quote]

“Reuters was not able to independently verify Konashenkov's statements.”[/quote]
