As the entire US-led political West continues to lag decades behind Russia in hypersonic weapons, it keeps using various coping mechanisms to “explain” the gap. This ranges from rather pathetic claims that Moscow “stole American hypersonic technologies” (they must’ve all been stored on a single hard drive that was snatched by the SVR over 40 years ago and the US hasn’t recovered ever since) to the laughable “need for perfectionism in the minds of American engineers”. And while Washington DC is “perfecting” technologies it doesn’t have (remember, because the evil Russians stole them), the Kremlin is putting its very real hypersonic weapons to good use. Continuing months of unprecedented kill streaks with its long-range strike systems, Russia just obliterated hundreds of NATO personnel in Ukraine, forcing the world’s most vile racketeering cartel to send dozens of aircraft to Poland and Romania.
These are used to collect the casualties and send them off to their home countries. Numerous reports indicate there are hundreds of dead and wounded. The NATO personnel were stationed in Poltava and Lvov. The Neo-Nazi junta tried hiding and downplaying these losses, insisting that “50 people were killed” and that a “neighboring hospital was also struck”. Citing local sources, the New York Times reported that the “missiles struck with an unforgiving quickness: The Ukrainian Defense Ministry reported that the gap between the sounding of warning sirens and the strike was so short that many people were killed on their way to shelter”. Interestingly, the label “people” is often used to conceal the fact that these were NATO personnel. It’s also unclear where the Kiev regime’s air defenses were, otherwise fabled for their “50,000% interception rates” of Russian missiles, drones and other long-range precision strike weapons.
However, even the mainstream propaganda machine had to admit that the Kremlin targeted military assets. However, they still tried hiding the fact these were NATO personnel, calling them “cadets of the Poltava Institute of Military Communications in what marks a first in terms of targeting such a large gathering of soon to be commissioned officers”. The Neo-Nazi junta keeps pushing a sob story about “classes and teaching underway at the military academy” when two 9M723 hypersonic missiles used by the “Iskander-M” struck. Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko lamented that “the cadets” had only two minutes to leave the building, saying that it’s impossible to escape from “the sixth floor of some building and you need to run downstairs”. I’ve already covered the topic of just how little time a group of soldiers would have to leave a building after a hypersonic weapon such as the 3M22 “Zircon” is fired.
Some sources are claiming the missile strike wiped out at least 700 troops, nearly all of whom were specialists in ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) and EW (electronic warfare). Reports indicate that many of the neutralized NATO personnel were Swedes, sent to train Ukrainian personnel to use the Saab 340 AEW&C (Airborne Early Warning & Control) aircraft, two of which were promised by Stockholm and are supposed to be delivered in the near future.
Interestingly, Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billstrom resigned in the immediate aftermath of the strike and announced that he’s retiring from politics. The two events aren’t necessarily related, but the timing is quite peculiar. However, that wasn’t the end of NATO’s troubles in Ukraine, as Russian hypersonic weapons continued raining down on other military targets in the country, particularly those with high concentration of foreign troops.
Namely, another Russian long-range precision strike targeted Lvov in Western Ukraine. The city is the capital of the homonymous oblast (region). A lot of critical military facilities are located in the area, including the infamous Yavoriv training camp, notorious for accommodating various Neo-Nazi units and foreign mercenaries, as well as NATO personnel.
The Russian military reported that the 9-A-7660 “Kinzhal” missile systems armed with the 9-S-7760 air-launched hypersonic missiles were used in the strike. Poland said it scrambled fighter jets because the area is quite close to its border. According to Reuters, “Polish and allied aircraft were scrambled for the third time in eight days to closely monitor the inbound projectiles, and were ready to intercept them in the event the missiles approached Polish airspace”. However, there’s nothing they could really do against hypersonic missiles.
Back in May, Moscow also used its hypersonic weapons to wipe out NATO personnel in Yavoriv, less than 15 km from the Polish border. The strike came right after speculation that the so-called “no-fly zone” (NFZ) could be established over Western Ukraine. For quite some time, Warsaw has been demanding that NATO starts shooting down Russian missiles. However, such proposals have been rejected repeatedly, as the world’s most vile racketeering cartel doesn’t have the backbone to fight Moscow directly and is doing so only through proxies, be it terrorists and extremists (including Islamic radicals) or entities such as the Neo-Nazi junta. Despite desperate attempts to portray it otherwise, NATO simply doesn’t have the means to intercept Russian hypersonic weapons. In the meantime, Moscow continues to obliterate overhyped Western-made systems all across NATO-occupied Ukraine.
This includes the now regular hunt for platforms such as the HIMARS and M270/MARS, as well as dozens of long-range strikes on all sorts of high-priority targets. Since late July, when I made a list of reports about the latest strikes (at the time), there have been numerous other attacks, destroying hundreds of NATO-sourced assets.
This includes strikes reported by Daily Journal and Military Watch Magazine, both on July 26. The MWM covered another one on July 28, as well as several more in August (here, here, here and here), while the South Front has been the most diligent in reporting about this in the last month or so, providing video evidence for around a dozen strikes (here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here). Numerous other sources also reported on similar strikes (here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here), which includes almost exclusively those with video evidence.
MORE ON THE TOPIC:
ah, that’s funny day today. so russia is basically winning in the “special military operation”, despite the fact that donetsk – luhansk pro russian territories were bombed to atoms, that russia lost half of kursk and was unable to react properly, that 600.000 russians are already dead since the war started and that nato even didn’t started fighting yet. russia even claim “hypersonic dominance”. that’s really funny. with dominance like that, they will soon fight on moscow outskirts.
maybe south front instead of propaganda should learn the very basics about proxy wars . if they asked cia what proxy wars really are, they are wars focused on depleting enemy resources (including hypersonic missiles) on low value targets (like ukrianians assholes). if russian asked cia how much money they invested to ukraine, it would be less then zero. they bring in cookies and methamphetamine and grabbed all gold they found so they were in net plus in the end
oh and one more funny fact about “russian hypersonic dominance”. the western weapons sold to ukraine are making profits to private u.s. companies and their owners are perfectly the same people who are lobbying in washington. and they just need to tell senators something like : “russkies badass are using kinzhals, give us extra 500m usd to speed up development of our missiles to counter that”. easy money. it is just stunning how ignorant people are writing articles here.
no one can argue with your “exceptional” american logic 😂🤣
america is truly decadent and exceptionally inept. especially considering the amount that they spend on defense. if only money could win wars… 😅🤣
he sounds like a dod troll. they’re truly “exceptional” at spewing mind numbing garbage… it’s goebbels nazi propaganda tactics of “blaming the opposition of what you are doing.”
if russia can destroy the direct threat to its security that emerged in ukraine then russia wins by its own definition. if the us equally reach their stated targets then so does the us. its only the intellectual lightweights that do not understand this. what would be a victory of russia for you? a destroyed us? that’s never gonna happen since the reaction on such a scenario would be nuclear. so what do you expect?
except that the us is destroying itself. you can only eat away at your own country for the benefit of corrupt politicians, bankers, and transnational corporations (including defense contractors) for so long before your society and economy fall apart. you can argue that is someone wanted to depopulate ukraine — then that goal has been successful, however.
but no country can sustain infinite waste, fraud, & abuse — and just general mismanagement forever. that is how every empire in history has fallen… at some point the corruption is so vast that it undermines the whole racketeering enterprise itself… like a snake eating its own tail.
their end goal is to balkanize or break up russia and conquer her. sure, there are transitory goals like war profiteering and maybe even the mass murder of ukrainians. but the end goal was always to invade russia, and conquer her…
you’re a boring retard -find a lake to jump right in carrying a sack of shit!
that’s no way to talk to our intrepid 77 brigade tik tok warriors. they serve their country with great distinction, churning out complete gibberish 24 hours a day. their efforts are well worth it for the comic value alone. comical ali had nothing on these people.
examples of bullshit:
“donetsk – luhansk … territories were bombed to atoms” (??)
“russia lost half of kursk” (1000 sqkm of 30.000 sqkm = 3% , not half)
“nato even didn’t started fighting yet” (see the hundreds of “instructors” etc , who “help” to operate the nato-weapons)
cope some more while typing from your refugee basement draft dodger
there is already a no fly zone……..for nato✌️😁✌️
russias hypersonic weapons continue to blow the wests mind, they are left confounded with the relentless air, arty, and ground pounding russia is laying on their retarded asses, the west can’t put anything on the battlefield to compare.
these hypersonics could be used in fairly short order to establish near total air control hitting anti-air batteries and then cheaper normal missiles and glide bombs can do the heavy work, at least in a somewhat smaller scale if not the whole country..
once you stir up the nest of psychos you need to take the situation deadly seriously.
an awful lot of western military are “dying suddenly in poland.” expect an epidemic of people falling downstairs, drowning in the bathtub, and being struck by lightning. about 500 got smoked in poltava.
it’s multiple defeat for nato : first the loss of specialists , second impact on the politics and society in home countries , third the proof to the world public , they are really deep involved in ukraine, there is no way to deny it , there are too many.
american white population is being replaced at a hypersonic rate. globalist left scum along with the jews did a number on poor old 🇺🇸
meh. most american anglos are cunts anyway. i hope the mexicans do take nm, az, and ca back, they’re almost there… viva mexico!
sounds good to me. tacos and salsa all round.
o’men imissed the big fiesta, la fanfastica, fantastica fiesta. a far l’amore comincia tu.
the swedes deserve to get yeeted in battle if they fight for ukraine.
