Wladimir Putin it’s unjustifiable (but unfortunately a winner). If he employs a war morale that brings him closer to Stalin, for whom he cares not just about Ukrainian civilian casualties, but not even about the huge casualties of his conscripts, who are treated as mere cannon fodder. But he’s not crazy at all. He adapts to get what he wants: Win and actually take Ukraine. And so, as I said, he is exhibiting his war toys, which are intended to demonstrate military tactical superiority not only over poor Ukraine, but above all over the United States and the West. And so yesterday, to be heard better, he doubled the dose hypersonic missilesfor now not interceptable from every missile shield covering Europe.
After a hypersonic missile was launched on Saturday, it flies ten times faster than the sound of the Kinzhal type (lit. “dagger”), this Sunday he launched another, boasted of killing a quarter of Ukrainian soldiers and Western volunteers (more than a hundred) with meticulous precision, and most importantly, unsheathed another infallible weapon : the Zircon hypersonic missilestarted on the unfortunate city Mariupol from the Sea of Azov using the small ship Cyclon as a ramp. Superiority of tactical missiles when using conventional warheads, but which have a precision and ability to zigzag, thereby misleading any attempt at interception. There’s the economy, GDP plays a big part, but damn it, if arsenals and a sufficiently cynical morality count in geopolitical relations to treat old people and children as puppets to show dead to bend the will, to resist them.
Putin’s power politics is based on two strong pointswho give him a free hand. And they will enable him to conduct negotiations where he gets what he wants. The first is the iron alliance sanctioned on February 4 with the China. Any interference by NATO or the US would involve the risk that a third world war devastating primarily Europe. The second ace up the Tsar’s sleeve is, as I said, the tactical military superiority. It has a missile system far more sophisticated and successful than the American one in local and continental theaters of war. The US, in turn, is strategically overwhelming (they have nuclear facilities capable of destroying Russia thousands of times over, but the whole world, including the United States, would do the same).
Hypersonic missiles, we first wrote in February, are a formidable threat. They come in many variations. These weapons fly at low altitudes at 10 to 20 times the speed of sound, bypassing radar and zigzagging toward their targets. The question is, are they as unbeatable as the Russians claim? A February 2022 report by the Center for Strategic & International Studies takes stock of the situation and the means of eavesdropping. There is nothing to be happy about. The best hope is that they turn out to be flawed, built to the limit, almost defying fate. They fly at insane speeds, creating a 2000degree gas plasma around them that can dissolve the vector. As for the concrete defense, the possibilities would only arise by hitting the Mig with the missile at launch, but it would be necessary to have three times the speed of the target: very difficult to do it in seconds.

The Americans are working on it interception systems based on laser weapons placed on satellites, or a vintage system as used in London during WWII. Balloons attached to the ground with steel cables that would prevent rockets and gliders from flying at low altitudes by blocking their lethal ability. I wrote glider. There is even planning in China for the Vanguard project, a glider that would detach from a rocket flying at 30 times the speed of sound and capable of traveling 6,000 km, and not just the Kinzhal’s 2,000. The Russians circulate to make themselves understood Footage of submarines firing atomic bombs in the Atlantic that hit New York with a tsunami. Just to start relaxing news. As we can see, there is no need to provide snares to the Ukrainian resistance to prolong the war in hopes that someone will poison Putin, as British intelligence has reported, or that the economy will collapse. China is creating an alternative system to the dollar based on that renmbimbi or yuan, which they would resort to India and as well Pakistanmore than half of the world population. Meanwhile, the West played the (lost) war in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria.
