Actually even an ATACMs is an ICBM, "Intercontinental Ballistic Missile" if those continents are close. It is not classified as one, but it meets the definition of one.
Technically it meets the definition of a long range missile, which are usually ICBMs, which go up into subspace and come back down very fast. Unlike cruise missiles, which fly in a pretty strait line, and go slow enough to intercept, no up and down with them. No need to spend billions developing a hypersonic missile, we have already had them for years. However it doesn't really matter what it was, an ICBM or a mortar if it lands on your head. That hurts.

@@AC-jk8wqit’s a nuclear missile and I think they used kinetic warheads just as a show of force and capability to NATO. 36 submunitions on a ballistic missile is unheard of in the world so this is significant. Don’t play this down you make yourself look foolish. No images before and after makes me honestly think the factory is completely fucked. Do you have any idea what kind of force a simple kinetic object has when it hits the ground at ~3000m/s?
They've also been stockpiling Kh-21s and 22s since the 60s, cost isn't really the problem, them working at all and not blowing up while trying to load them is a serious issue
The storm shadows hit 40km into russian territory according to reports, just a fraction of their 250km range. The target required the use of bunker busters :)
The use of an intercontinental-travel capable weapon without nuclear payloads obfuscates the usage of such weapons, making it more difficult to know whether an ICBM launch is nuclear-equipped, and potentially possible for Russia to claim they will be using non-nuclear-equipped ICBMs, only to use nuclear-equipped ICBMs to maximize casualties by making other countries think it safe enough not to evacuate. Routine begets complacency, and usage of ICBMs becoming routine can lead to people normally in charge of nuclear countermeasures to become complacent which can cost millions of lives in the event of a nuclear conflict.
@@sc1338 Yeah but the ones used before in this war weren't IRBMs nor ICBMs, just regular ballistic missiles, which to my knowledge cannot usually reach hypersonic speeds
Anyone who spends time on big waters spends alot of time doung repairs and preventive measures. Out miles from land,by yourself, there is nobody to help.
Russia has also had nuclear capable artillery rockets since the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 1960's, more scare tactics from Putin. He loves to make the western leaders piss their pants like any bully he is a coward himself.
well in theory Iskanders only travel 500km while IRBMs should be able to travel between 1000-5500km. Firing a Nuke with an Iskander would not be doctrine I imagine. Also the IRBMs fired here were empty which some people are reading into "they could have been armed with something". And also they aimed for Dnipro which has significance too. It's the primary target for a nuclear attack since it's not too close to the Russian border, not too close to the NATO border, and it's not Kiev. If they were to fire one this would be it. So a lot of between the line reading is being done here, but it's also just a lot of fear mongering which doesn't lead to anything beneficial either. The embarrassing for Russia is that they only fired it from 1000km away which might suggest they weren't confident to fire it from Siberia where they'd prbly keep their nukes. It's a weird and very very expensive message. It feels desperate on many levels.
Arthur, there are underground workshops at the Yuzhmash plant. The projectile hit exactly where it was flying. Yuzhmash was built under the USSR, the drawings are in the Moscow archives.
I would need more specific information on the Royal Navy ships to be scrapped before assuming that Ukraine would be better off without them. Ukraine has a long history of naval vessel construction and MX, they may be able to do much of the required overhaul work themselves after the war.
You know how to create one doesn't mean you can afford it. To handle the radioactive materials needs lot of money, even more for military grade. If you couldn't even keep up with normal aviation maintenance requirements, don't dream on maintaining nukes. All governments in NATO knew that, only laymen like us are thwarted by media on WW 3 fear.
What happened was a alien transporter in a UFO locked on to the nuke warheads while the missile was moving, than safely transported them to the surface of the sun. It's all explained in Star Trek.
This IRBM contains SIX warheads, with each warhead containing SIX sub-munitions, for a grand total of 36 sub-munitions. The video shows SIX groups of projectiles because each group is a separate warhead. Hope this helps. All 36 are there - count them.
I see no sign that it isn't. Individual media (especially those right leaning putin mouthpieces) might say otherwise, but that is pure BS. Cleearly many people are too young to remember the BS that came out of the Kremlin in the cold war. This is no different.
The Labour Government in Britain did increase its military budget fairly substantially. It probably means they are getting rid of old ships a little earlier than they may have originally planned.
Kinetic instead of chemical (explosive) warheads does not mean less devistating if it identifies done correctly and not woth the cheapest metal possible. There were several plans by the US to put sattelites with thungsten rods into orbit. These rods would have so high kinetic energy to be absolutely devastating effects. These are often called rods from god. Projects include for example: brilliant pebbles, priject thor and hypervelocity rod bundles. Also railguns use purely kinetic projectiles that can be more destructive than chemical (explosive) projectiles.
IS IT A NEW WAR CRIME WHEN THIS ICBM WAS DIRECTED AT A CIVILIAN SITE? Purposely targeting civilians is NEVER honorable or necessary! Monsters would disagree, of course. Another great video Artur! Keep up the good work! Thanks.
The Sreshnik was originally designed as a short/medium-range ICBM, but the Russians, in their infinite wisdom, repurposed it as six bricks. Probably because when you're running out of roubles, rubble is all you've got left!
I wonder if Ukraine have one of the old ICBM Launchers in their nuke bunkers or museums, perhaps they send a dud back and say we have what you have. Roll on with Ukraines own slong range capability, real long range not just 350 Km 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
An intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) is a ballistic missile with a range of 3,000-5,500 km (1,864-3,418 miles), between a medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) and an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).Classifying ballistic missiles by range is done mostly for convenience. In principle there is very little difference between a low-performance ICBM and a high-performance IRBM, because decreasing payload mass can increase the range over the ICBM threshold. The range definition used here is used within the U.S. Missile Defense Agency. Wikipedia
Considering how the Ruble is showing signs of being danger close to free fall (stuck at 102-103 against the dollar) desperation is an understatement. Should the Ruble get any lower and actually free fall....well lets just say the last time that happened the Soviet Union began to implode. [EDITED FOR CLARITY...and that I suck at math, sorry]
It is going to be a long cold winter for Russia Their heating pipes are falling on their cars Poop geysers up to 10 stories high are erupting in Moscow Dams are breaking and bridges are falling down all over the country Moscow is suffering random power outages Yet, Putin continues to spend the lions share of the governments budget to keep the war in Ukraine going
Also worth pointing out that ATACMS is a SHORT-range tactical ballistic missile, NOT long range, despite what ignorant/ sensationalist journalists say. Iskander is also a short range missile; used for many months against Ukraine. ATACMS is NOT an escalation, just retaliation as under international law. Russia is the aggressor, Russia is the escalator.
Worth pointing out that they need, American military satellites to guide, they need programming by American specialists, so this is direct American involvement.
ATACMS to ICBM. I hope people understand. All ballistic means is, it uses power to launch upwards and then comes down with a ark-like trajectory. For instance, artillery is not ballistic because once the shell leaves the barrel, there's no more energy propelling it They are not in the same league. It's like comparing a moped to a sports car. I don't think there's been a conflict in history, that has used an ICBM I believe this was a first, THIS IS THE BIGGEST ESCALATION Short of nuclear or mass chemical attack. And we need to stop buying that, I needed to respond, blabber We are just to accept that Russia is allowed to have the upper hand, and allowed to operate at a higher level of devastation without any care for humanity, we're just supposed to accept that.
@@YahWay. - That's BS, Artillery shells are nothing but ballistic, when they are fired you can predict their parabolic path knowing the velocity, mass, drag coefficient, etc. because they have no on board thrust or fins to deviate their path. ICBM's may be ballistic but if they have onboard thrust or adjustable fins to change trajectory then they may also be non-ballistic. Also multiple warhead ICBM's may have communications with satellites with adj. thrust and/or adj. fins to change trajectory and be steerable to multiple independent targets. Rockets have thrust as do ICBM's but if the rocket just pushes the rocket up until it runs out of fuel and if there are no steerable fins or thrusters then the rocket or missile becomes a ballistic rocket or missile. Ballistic weapons can be shot down more easily than a steerable rocket or missile because once the fuel is exhausted the 'arc' or parabolic path is mathematically predictable and a rocket or missile can be launched to intercept it. An engineer friend of mine was involved in testing our capability of shooting down ballistic ICBMs back in the 1960's in the Marshall Islands of the South Pacific. He said he watched the Air Force and Navy test fire several missile interceptions back in 1964.
Artur, some things to consider about a potential Russian first strike: 1. The cost of an American AEGIS SM-6 missile is $4.3M per unit. 2. One thousand of these would cost $4.3 billion if purchased by the DoD in total. The is literally nothing compared to annual DoD spending, year on year. 3. The SM-6 has been in production for over ten years (that we know of), possibly longer. 4. The SM-6 has an intercept rate of 95% or higher. 5. The AEGIS system has been around since 1983. 6. How many ICBM or SLBM intercepting ABM systems do you suppose the DoD has procured and fielded, secretly or publicly over the years? 7. The Russians and the Chinese can only potentially throw around 3,000 nuclear warheads at the US and NATO countries or Ukraine (assuming any are still working) 8. We have many other ABM systems to help in the missile defense, such as THAAD, Patriot PAC-3, Arrow, SBIRS-HIGH) The US probably has a number of classified systems, such as: directed energy weapon systems, plasma weaponry (SHIVA-STAR Marauder 2) and space-based systems (Excalibur, Brilliant Pebbles) to increase the likelihood of high 90+ percentile successful interceptions. So, to quote Admiral Sea-Lord Jackie Fisher..."sleep easy in your beds". The US military has the defense situation covered...
I agree with the previous comment. I was 40 miles away in Oregon when Mount Saint Helens blew it's top. And 80 miles away when it blew up the second time. That's like standing next to a nuke, twice. Then I lived in Chile '83-'85. Man made booms, no houses with intact windows, lots of bullet casings, blown up children, missing doors and windowz, flat tires and foot wounds from caltrops. I just watched Jake Broe get attacked for his views. Just saying, stay on task, stay strong and keep doing what you are doing, and congratulations on your marriage.
@16:30 "When temperatures fall near minus 40 degrees, and we are talking Celsius here!" Fun fact! -40 degrees Celsius is the same -40 degrees in Fahrenheit!
The ICBM _could_ have been armed with a nuclear warhead. That's scary. I think that is the point here - it could have been a nuke and Ukraine couldn't have stopped it. Ukraine is not being nuked because Russia doesn't want to (yet) nuke them. The precision of the ICBM is udnerstandable, and I suspect similar to the US Minuteman missile. They are designed to carry nukes, where it doesn't matter if you can place the warhead onto a specific building, only in the general area. However, this only demonstrates that this ICBM functions. The fact that it _could_ have been a nuke shouldn't really matter at all. Every bomb that lands on Ukraine _could_ have been a nuclear bomb.
Do you think 36 warheads hitting a factory size area is somehow shitty accuracy for an IRBM?😂 also the real reason why this is noteworthy is that 36 warheads in a ICBM/IRBM is unheard of and certainly something that NATO missiles don’t have.
@HoseTheBeast I didn't say it had bad accuracy, I said the precision was understandable and likely the same as US missiles. But it doesn't matter if it can put warheads on foreheads or warheads on cities, because they're supposed to carry nukes and precision isn't super important.
The Russian Black Sea fleet gave us a lesson on the effectiveness of aging capital vessels. Old British vessels could suffer a similar fete in the Black Sea. As you said cutting edge weapons are what Ukraine needs. Thanks Artur, keep up the good work.
We have coordinated launch information with the Russians for decades to avoid confusion and an accidental retaliation. There was an incident where a Russian computer glitched and their satellites detected a first strike. It was only due to the diligence of the operator that disaster was averted that time. Live and learn.
Stagflation is different than stagnation. The latter means things slow down but the former means the economy slows while inflation soars - hence stag-flation.
I hope Artur reads your post because he doesn't seem familiar with the term. It's weird however that in a stagflation you generally have an increasing unemployment. While here it is mentioned that the factories cannot find enough employees to make their products. Unless of course the citizens of Moscovia are just incompetent. 😑
@@christoferchavanne7166the power centre in all versions of "russia" has failed due to bad numbers, over ambition, terrible state planning, hubris, interia, sunk cost fallacy.
Not gonna lie, seeing those warheads raining down is pretty terrifying. A dramatic message for sure, and a sign that Russia is nearing a breaking point. They have the capability to use nukes, and thankfully just proved that they won’t. They’re not quite that stupid. And they also cannot afford to use these all willy-nilly as a continual messaging tool. This is a very expensive sabre to rattle. Russia just flinched, big time.
People forget that Russia is not the Warsaw Pact which consisted of the military of many nations, some of which are now members of NATO. Today's Russia is much weaker the military is demoralised and falling apart, also the Russian economy is in a dreadful state and is slowly collapsing in on itself. So no we should not be afraid of yesterday's bogyman!! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦.
yes yes)) everything is falling apart, okay, tell yourself your fairy tales, then we will be wildly surprised that the world is not the way you painted it!
That's not the missile they use for the first nuke strike... That's not a strategic nuke. That's an apocalypse nuke. They'd use a single, small, nuke first. This is just bluster, and a waste of money.
The Royal Navy has already given some minesweepers to Ukraine that were coming to the end of their life. It is often the spare parts that are no longer made that makes keeping them going impossible.
You did the best job of any vlog detailing what is going on in the Ukraine war. One other thing that seems to be on the horizon is an international oil price war lowering the price of oil to as low as $50 per barrel. While this would mean cheaper gasoline for me it would be economically disastrous to Russia where it costs more than that to extract the oil and they would have to sell it at a loss. It is hard to fight a war without money.
the ALBION AND BUKWARK ARE THE ONLY TWO SHIPS CAPIBLE OF CARRING TROOPS AND ARMOUR TO LAND ON BEACHES, AS WE ARE AN ISLAND WE NEED THEM, THE TOP 2 ARE SUPPLY VESSELS WE ALSO NEED THEM, THIS IS BECAUSE OF LACK OF MAN POWER TO CREW THESE SHIPS AS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIORS TAKE ALL THE NAVY
Russia is having to use ICBM's...on their next door neighbor, that's desperation. Their latest most modern version failed to even launch. Imagine, with their track record of lack of maintenance how well their 60 year old ones will perform. Putin is just seeing if they still work.
"Choose not to be afraid" Best advice ever.
I agree with you my friend
Fear is what kept Humans alive for tens of thousands of years. Don't fear heights, or snakes, or fire, you're an idiot.
Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking BIG television!

@@HoseTheBeast shsssss, you are not suppose to say that, he's the best west wannabe propandist ever
In old soviet Russia, you had to stand in line for everything.
They've also been stockpiling Kh-21s and 22s since the 60s, cost isn't really the problem, them working at all and not blowing up while trying to load them is a serious issue
Thanks Artur!! Keep up the good work!!
The storm shadows hit 40km into russian territory according to reports, just a fraction of their 250km range. The target required the use of bunker busters :)
They been launching ballistic missiles non stop. Any of which can carry nuclear payloads. I don't understand any overreaction to this launch
None of them were hypersonic unlike this one, which makes it nearly impossible to intercept
The use of an intercontinental-travel capable weapon without nuclear payloads obfuscates the usage of such weapons, making it more difficult to know whether an ICBM launch is nuclear-equipped, and potentially possible for Russia to claim they will be using non-nuclear-equipped ICBMs, only to use nuclear-equipped ICBMs to maximize casualties by making other countries think it safe enough not to evacuate. Routine begets complacency, and usage of ICBMs becoming routine can lead to people normally in charge of nuclear countermeasures to become complacent which can cost millions of lives in the event of a nuclear conflict.

@@sc1338 Yeah but the ones used before in this war weren't IRBMs nor ICBMs, just regular ballistic missiles, which to my knowledge cannot usually reach hypersonic speeds
Anyone who spends time on big waters spends alot of time doung repairs and preventive measures. Out miles from land,by yourself, there is nobody to help.
Why the fuzz? Iskanders crusie missiles are nuclear head carriers as well. And they´ve been used for 2 years.
Russia has also had nuclear capable artillery rockets since the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 1960's, more scare tactics from Putin. He loves to make the western leaders piss their pants like any bully he is a coward himself.
well in theory Iskanders only travel 500km while IRBMs should be able to travel between 1000-5500km.
Firing a Nuke with an Iskander would not be doctrine I imagine. Also the IRBMs fired here were empty which some people are reading into "they could have been armed with something".
And also they aimed for Dnipro which has significance too. It's the primary target for a nuclear attack since it's not too close to the Russian border, not too close to the NATO border, and it's not Kiev. If they were to fire one this would be it. So a lot of between the line reading is being done here, but it's also just a lot of fear mongering which doesn't lead to anything beneficial either.
The embarrassing for Russia is that they only fired it from 1000km away which might suggest they weren't confident to fire it from Siberia where they'd prbly keep their nukes. It's a weird and very very expensive message. It feels desperate on many levels.
Arthur, there are underground workshops at the Yuzhmash plant. The projectile hit exactly where it was flying. Yuzhmash was built under the USSR, the drawings are in the Moscow archives.
I would need more specific information on the Royal Navy ships to be scrapped before assuming that Ukraine would be better off without them. Ukraine has a long history of naval vessel construction and MX, they may be able to do much of the required overhaul work themselves after the war.
You know how to create one doesn't mean you can afford it. To handle the radioactive materials needs lot of money, even more for military grade. If you couldn't even keep up with normal aviation maintenance requirements, don't dream on maintaining nukes. All governments in NATO knew that, only laymen like us are thwarted by media on WW 3 fear.
What happened was a alien transporter in a UFO locked on to the nuke warheads while the missile was moving, than safely transported them to the surface of the sun. It's all explained in Star Trek.
Thanks for the fantastic updates this week, Artur, both on here and the Twitter~! Stay strong, my friend, for our sake~!!

This IRBM contains SIX warheads, with each warhead containing SIX sub-munitions, for a grand total of 36 sub-munitions. The video shows SIX groups of projectiles because each group is a separate warhead. Hope this helps. All 36 are there - count them.
NATO needs to stand firm.
I see no sign that it isn't. Individual media (especially those right leaning putin mouthpieces) might say otherwise, but that is pure BS. Cleearly many people are too young to remember the BS that came out of the Kremlin in the cold war. This is no different.
NATO needs to announce Ukraine is NOT WELCOME in NATO and never WILL be.
That short range ICBM (for an ICBM) cost a lot of rubels. And Russia is low on rubels.
Roubles
Thanks as always Artur
The Labour Government in Britain did increase its military budget fairly substantially. It probably means they are getting rid of old ships a little earlier than they may have originally planned.
Kinetic instead of chemical (explosive) warheads does not mean less devistating if it identifies done correctly and not woth the cheapest metal possible. There were several plans by the US to put sattelites with thungsten rods into orbit. These rods would have so high kinetic energy to be absolutely devastating effects. These are often called rods from god. Projects include for example: brilliant pebbles, priject thor and hypervelocity rod bundles.
Also railguns use purely kinetic projectiles that can be more destructive than chemical (explosive) projectiles.
Sure, but then you need accuracy!
( Sweden )
You are doing an amazing job. Thank you.
IS IT A NEW WAR CRIME WHEN THIS ICBM WAS DIRECTED AT A CIVILIAN SITE? Purposely targeting civilians is NEVER honorable or necessary! Monsters would disagree, of course. Another great video Artur! Keep up the good work! Thanks.
25 warnings not enough for you?
Putin is already on the list of war criminals wanted for arrest by the ICC. Another war crime will not deter Russia.
It depends on which side you are on….
25 ICBM launches? I think the World monitoring services would have noticed.
Nobody cares if its a war crime or not.....
40 below Celsius equals 40 below Fahrenheit !
Christmas is coming. Is it time for a new Rehi Army fundraiser for Ukraine?
Thanks for the balanced views regarding decommissioning old navy ships.
Happy Friday, Artur
The Sreshnik was originally designed as a short/medium-range ICBM, but the Russians, in their infinite wisdom, repurposed it as six bricks. Probably because when you're running out of roubles, rubble is all you've got left!
I wonder if Ukraine have one of the old ICBM Launchers in their nuke bunkers or museums, perhaps they send a dud back and say we have what you have. Roll on with Ukraines own slong range capability, real long range not just 350 Km 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Artur, my friend, we used to say that close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and thermonuclear weaponry.
An intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) is a ballistic missile with a range of 3,000-5,500 km (1,864-3,418 miles), between a medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) and an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).Classifying ballistic missiles by range is done mostly for convenience. In principle there is very little difference between a low-performance ICBM and a high-performance IRBM, because decreasing payload mass can increase the range over the ICBM threshold. The range definition used here is used within the U.S. Missile Defense Agency.
Wikipedia
Thanks so much for the clarification.
Helps a lot.
💯👍
But this one seems to have been an Incontinent Ballistic Missile, SLAVA UKRAINI!
Power to Ukraine!
If North Korea can send troops to Russia, then Europe should also send troops to Ukraine.
They have been allowing mercs.
Secondly NK changed their mind.
I think Chad and Lesotho should send troops.
Russia is desperate
Yup
💯‼️
Considering how the Ruble is showing signs of being danger close to free fall (stuck at 102-103 against the dollar) desperation is an understatement. Should the Ruble get any lower and actually free fall....well lets just say the last time that happened the Soviet Union began to implode. [EDITED FOR CLARITY...and that I suck at math, sorry]
Russia: Nord Stream 2
US: 😭
It is going to be a long cold winter for Russia
Their heating pipes are falling on their cars
Poop geysers up to 10 stories high are erupting in Moscow
Dams are breaking and bridges are falling down all over the country
Moscow is suffering random power outages
Yet, Putin continues to spend the lions share of the governments budget to keep the war in Ukraine going
I think that someone stole the ammunition from the war heads 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Also worth pointing out that ATACMS is a SHORT-range tactical ballistic missile, NOT long range, despite what ignorant/ sensationalist journalists say. Iskander is also a short range missile; used for many months against Ukraine. ATACMS is NOT an escalation, just retaliation as under international law. Russia is the aggressor, Russia is the escalator.
Exactly, it's basically the US answer to the Iskander missile.
Yep agreed. Only the aggressor can escalate. Ukraine the defender can't escalate. They can just defend harder
Worth pointing out that they need, American military satellites to guide, they need programming by American specialists, so this is direct American involvement.
ATACMS to ICBM. I hope people understand. All ballistic means is, it uses power to launch upwards and then comes down with a ark-like trajectory.
For instance, artillery is not ballistic because once the shell leaves the barrel, there's no more energy propelling it
They are not in the same league. It's like comparing a moped to a sports car. I don't think there's been a conflict in history, that has used an ICBM
I believe this was a first, THIS IS THE BIGGEST ESCALATION Short of nuclear or mass chemical attack. And we need to stop buying that, I needed to respond, blabber
We are just to accept that Russia is allowed to have the upper hand, and allowed to operate at a higher level of devastation without any care for humanity, we're just supposed to accept that.
@@YahWay. - That's BS, Artillery shells are nothing but ballistic, when they are fired you can predict their parabolic path knowing the velocity, mass, drag coefficient, etc. because they have no on board thrust or fins to deviate their path. ICBM's may be ballistic but if they have onboard thrust or adjustable fins to change trajectory then they may also be non-ballistic. Also multiple warhead ICBM's may have communications with satellites with adj. thrust and/or adj. fins to change trajectory and be steerable to multiple independent targets. Rockets have thrust as do ICBM's but if the rocket just pushes the rocket up until it runs out of fuel and if there are no steerable fins or thrusters then the rocket or missile becomes a ballistic rocket or missile. Ballistic weapons can be shot down more easily than a steerable rocket or missile because once the fuel is exhausted the 'arc' or parabolic path is mathematically predictable and a rocket or missile can be launched to intercept it. An engineer friend of mine was involved in testing our capability of shooting down ballistic ICBMs back in the 1960's in the Marshall Islands of the South Pacific. He said he watched the Air Force and Navy test fire several missile interceptions back in 1964.
Artur, some things to consider about a potential Russian first strike:
1. The cost of an American AEGIS SM-6 missile is $4.3M per unit.
2. One thousand of these would cost $4.3 billion if purchased by the DoD in total. The is literally nothing compared to annual DoD spending, year on year.
3. The SM-6 has been in production for over ten years (that we know of), possibly longer.
4. The SM-6 has an intercept rate of 95% or higher.
5. The AEGIS system has been around since 1983.
6. How many ICBM or SLBM intercepting ABM systems do you suppose the DoD has procured and fielded, secretly or publicly over the years?
7. The Russians and the Chinese can only potentially throw around 3,000 nuclear warheads at the US and NATO countries or Ukraine (assuming any are still working)
8. We have many other ABM systems to help in the missile defense, such as THAAD, Patriot PAC-3, Arrow, SBIRS-HIGH)
The US probably has a number of classified systems, such as: directed energy weapon systems, plasma weaponry (SHIVA-STAR Marauder 2) and space-based systems (Excalibur, Brilliant Pebbles) to increase the likelihood of high 90+ percentile successful interceptions. So, to quote Admiral Sea-Lord Jackie Fisher..."sleep easy in your beds". The US military has the defense situation covered...
I agree with the previous comment. I was 40 miles away in Oregon when Mount Saint Helens blew it's top. And 80 miles away when it blew up the second time. That's like standing next to a nuke, twice. Then I lived in Chile '83-'85. Man made booms, no houses with intact windows, lots of bullet casings, blown up children, missing doors and windowz, flat tires and foot wounds from caltrops.
I just watched Jake Broe get attacked for his views. Just saying, stay on task, stay strong and keep doing what you are doing, and congratulations on your marriage.
I love it when Artur says "veddy nice" when describing Ukraine's dominating force and achievements. its my new catch-phrase.
Get a room! lol!
Watch Borat, it'll make sense 😂
@16:30 "When temperatures fall near minus 40 degrees, and we are talking Celsius here!"
Fun fact! -40 degrees Celsius is the same -40 degrees in Fahrenheit!
Yeah, too many words in general lately. And a lot of them are incorrect or misleading.
The ICBM _could_ have been armed with a nuclear warhead. That's scary. I think that is the point here - it could have been a nuke and Ukraine couldn't have stopped it. Ukraine is not being nuked because Russia doesn't want to (yet) nuke them. The precision of the ICBM is udnerstandable, and I suspect similar to the US Minuteman missile. They are designed to carry nukes, where it doesn't matter if you can place the warhead onto a specific building, only in the general area.
However, this only demonstrates that this ICBM functions. The fact that it _could_ have been a nuke shouldn't really matter at all. Every bomb that lands on Ukraine _could_ have been a nuclear bomb.
Do you think 36 warheads hitting a factory size area is somehow shitty accuracy for an IRBM?😂 also the real reason why this is noteworthy is that 36 warheads in a ICBM/IRBM is unheard of and certainly something that NATO missiles don’t have.
@@HoseTheBeast It doesn't matter if its shitty accuracy or not.
@@Locke99GS YOU said the missile has bad accuracy. It doesn’t.
@HoseTheBeast I didn't say it had bad accuracy, I said the precision was understandable and likely the same as US missiles.
But it doesn't matter if it can put warheads on foreheads or warheads on cities, because they're supposed to carry nukes and precision isn't super important.
The Russian Black Sea fleet gave us a lesson on the effectiveness of aging capital vessels. Old British vessels could suffer a similar fete in the Black Sea. As you said cutting edge weapons are what Ukraine needs. Thanks Artur, keep up the good work.
Just launching an ICBM will automatically start retaliation. We have satellites that can detect the LAUNCH of an ICBM.
The told nato first as if they never Russia would be glass
We have coordinated launch information with the Russians for decades to avoid confusion and an accidental retaliation.
There was an incident where a Russian computer glitched and their satellites detected a first strike. It was only due to the diligence of the operator that disaster was averted that time. Live and learn.
Like the old saying, "Closeness only counts in Horseshoes and Nukes."
Stagflation is different than stagnation. The latter means things slow down but the former means the economy slows while inflation soars - hence stag-flation.
I swear this wee SMO has inadvertently taught me (and is still teaching me) global economics in a way school didn't......
I hope Artur reads your post because he doesn't seem familiar with the term. It's weird however that in a stagflation you generally have an increasing unemployment. While here it is mentioned that the factories cannot find enough employees to make their products. Unless of course the citizens of Moscovia are just incompetent. 😑

Not gonna lie, seeing those warheads raining down is pretty terrifying. A dramatic message for sure, and a sign that Russia is nearing a breaking point.
They have the capability to use nukes, and thankfully just proved that they won’t. They’re not quite that stupid. And they also cannot afford to use these all willy-nilly as a continual messaging tool. This is a very expensive sabre to rattle.
Russia just flinched, big time.

That's not the missile they use for the first nuke strike... That's not a strategic nuke. That's an apocalypse nuke. They'd use a single, small, nuke first. This is just bluster, and a waste of money.
The Royal Navy has already given some minesweepers to Ukraine that were coming to the end of their life. It is often the spare parts that are no longer made that makes keeping them going impossible.
You did the best job of any vlog detailing what is going on in the Ukraine war. One other thing that seems to be on the horizon is an international oil price war lowering the price of oil to as low as $50 per barrel. While this would mean cheaper gasoline for me it would be economically disastrous to Russia where it costs more than that to extract the oil and they would have to sell it at a loss. It is hard to fight a war without money.
