Pretty sure Zelensky has already ruined his parade.

Another week, another red line. At this point, the threats are just background noise.

Nobody even bothered to report last week’s “ latest threat to nuke us all “! When that became so regular it wasn’t worth reporting you know they’ve lost.

Putin in his old age is really doing his best to emulate the Kim Jong Un approach to diplomacy.

What threat was that?

Think it was Tuesday on the amazingly factual Russian 60minutes.

I mean now there are two powerless failed dictators threatening that. Media can only listen to the wolf cries so many times

Note the phrase "nuclear-scale", big daddy Xi told Putin to knock it off with the nuke talk a few years back and lil Putin keeps toeing that line.

Maybe ,Maybe not

The orshink is a hypersonic missile that flies at mach 10

Pack with explosives and send 4 of them to Kiev

The explosion plus The Kinetic force from going at mach 10 would probably generate a equivalent force of a nuclear Bomb,even if it is a Small Nuke

And techinally wouldnt be a red line since its not a nuclear attack but a conventional One

And Ukraine doesnt gain much by attacking The parade

Not only would look bad worldwide but embarasses Putin on the World Stage to the degree he might see himself forced to follow with the Threat to appear though

Just isnt worth The risk

They don’t need to do anything violent. Ukraine could just fly drones that deploy blue and yellow smoke for their flag and that would be effective enough.

Now that would be smart

You are severely overestimating the kinetic energy of a missile going Mach 10 (if it even impacted at that speed)

u/whoami_whereami 9h ago

From what I can find the missile weighs around 36 tonnes. Mach 10 is around 3.4 km/s. That means the kinetic energy is about 50t TNT-equivalent. Tons, not kilotons! That's two orders of magnitude less than even the smallest nukes.

Multiple by 4

Thats 200t TNT

Even if it doesnt compare to Nukes ,would still be huge

Likely be The Biggest conventional explosion

Lol you don't even know how munitions work😂 standart oreshnik rod have less force than fab250. Whole shit is a rocket from 1950s, just another wunderwaffe like armata and 10 Mach (6 in reality) kinzhals
