If that's such a threat how come Putin has only used them twice?
The first time they were incredibly inaccurate and the second time they were shot down by Ukraine, leading to the designers being arresested.
"Supersonic metal" is just munitions, like bullets, fragments, arti rounds. They all travel at supersonic speeds. Hence, when someone shoots at you, you hear a CRACK! That's a projectile traveling above speed of sound.

Ohh, what colour will your BooGhatti be. I hear Blue on Yellow is a lovely colour scheme.
I believe this one will be auctioned in Romania



Why not buy a ticket to Kiev? You can give us updates from the trenches. We need honest reports on the Ukrainian blitzkrieg.
You are the war "expert", I say go stand with the Zs and report back. Your knowledge I'm sure would be appreciated on the Russian front as the defend the offensive.

Now explain why the Eglinton tunnel is so overbudget.

There are no exact figures on how many people have left Russia - but estimates vary from hundreds of thousands to several million.
In May the UK Ministry of Defence estimated 1.3 million people leaving Russia in 2022.
Other estimates of figures from various sources confirm the trend. Forbes magazine cited sources inside the Russian authorities as saying that between 600,000 and 1,000,000 people left in 2022. The Bell and RTVi - both independent Russian media - published comparable figures.
How many people left Ukraine? 10m? 20 m?

Zelensky will need stronger backing to exercise the right to
recapture Crimea. I guess he may receive support from his
backers only to attack Crimea. Retaking Crimea would warrant
scaling up military aid or even NATO boots on the ground IMO.

Never say never!!

Obviously it's all part of Justin Beiber's evil plan.

To be fair I think everything remotely bad is part of Justin Beiber's evil plan. Maybe Squeezer is right and I should see a theropist... or is that part of his evil plan also. Dammit, where is my tin foil hat!

Yeah, but most of those were kidnapped....
Why am I reminded of the Jimmy Carr joke.
I have women banging on my door. Sometimes I even let them out.

Sounds like Danmand would think this is serious and that he sounds like a nice guy letting those women out.

Rumours are Russia has mined the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. I don't know if it's actually true or not, but I wouldn't put it past them.

1: If there is any possibility to this, I think NATO should make a declaration that if a single isotope reached NATO clay, it's article 5 time which means
A: No NATO troops cross the border into pre 2014 Russia as long as they don't do the same
B: Anything Russian Navy in international waters gets sunk. Russian subs are noisy as fuck and the 'Mericans keep a close eye on things. I am givin to understand that they are all being shadowed and could be sunk before you say Bob's your uncle.
C: Troops on the border with Belurus
D: Ukraine can haz all we can give ASAP
E: NATO anti air assets with NATO experiences crew on Ukraine clay
F: Missiles take out every air base and supply hub within range.
G: More pressure not to deal with Russia on Third parties
H:If Needed NATO troops on Ukraine clay pre 2014 borders
G: No vote in Donuts, Loserchance or Crymea, it goes back to Ukraine because fuck you, that's why
Easy way to avoid that. Don't set off a SECOND FUCKING Chernobyl. If this is true and this does happen and anyone defends this... for fucks sake.
And if not a single Isotope reached NATO clay, wouldn't have a problem with the US and the more robust allies do the above anyway.

2: If there is any hard core evidence that this is the case, I would have no issues with sending in some SEAL/Delta Force/SAS style love to take over. If it can be done safely which it probably can't.

Ukraine Could Free Crimea by End of Summer: Ex-U.S. General

Ex-U.S. general does not necessarily know better how much more generous
NATO and U.S. welfare policy of donation of weapons to Ukraine would be like
by the end of Summer than Terbites. At this point military aid to Ukraine is not
sufficient for them to drive Putin's soldiers back to Russia. Zelensky at this point
has more to worry about receiving more aid than retaking Crimea.

This looks like Ukraine are also targeting Crimea and rightfully so:

Ukraine strikes bridge linking Crimea to mainland in blow to Russia’s supply lines

He did say IF. His prediction of success is conditional.
