Why isn't Russia putting explosives in their "advanced" super sonic missiles? This is the second time the "oreshnik" missiles have been used and they were empty again. I read they're very expensive, limited. People theorizing they were out of them already.
>>
>>64736717
In this particular instance, these things are so stupidly fucking expensive that sending it up with anything other than nukes is just a test/PR stunt. The point is to say OOK OOK NOOK, putting explosives on it is just a waste of time and money that isn't even going to add much if any effect on target because MIRVs do at least deliver an absolute fuckload of kinetic energy.
>>
>>64736717
Partly as a show of force saying at any time we can wipe you out if we decide (or can even find functioning nuclear armed MRIV). Monke is feeling extra zesty cause of recent events, and decided to have a missile sperg for a nightcap after his krokodil injection.
>>
>>64736717
Doesn't a chunk of tungsten pack more kinetic energy at suborbital speeds than some lower-density explosive would?
>>
It's funny to see the usual online shills seamlessly change from "we didn't care about the ships" to "this is the payback for the ships lol".

>suborbital

nah. not even close. its a scifi fag meme.

you would pretty much have to launch tungsten into stuff at relativistic speeds for this to be anything other than a huge waste of money and resources. and a nuke can still accomplish the same effect....for much cheaper still.

its just monkee and ziggers assblasted and getting uppity again.

check out /pol/. Chug is claiming the entire sky around Lviv is ''ionised' (implication that they somehow really nuked Lviv)'. Theres nothing whatsoever on FIRMS, unlike when Toropets got yeeted to space.
>>
>>64736777 (PRAISE)
I almost wish Mikee was still alive.
>SEE, I TOLD YOU SO! THEY FINALLY SHOT BACK IT'S ALL OVER NOW CUNNY DENIERS!
>>
they're kinetic penetrators with an impact over mach 10. they and what they hit explode upon impact. they'd be quite useful against air and naval bases, missile sites, power and gas facilities, and so on. they don't exceed the conventional threshold.

the us was going to make a similar weapon with pershing ii, but the cold war ended.
>>
>>64736717
It's meant as a kind of warning shot, like saying "we could have put explosives or a nuke in this thing and you wouldn't have been able to stop it"
idk if it's credible or not but I think that's their intent
>>
>>64736777
10L of tungsten = 193kg
10L of HMX = 19.1kg
missile speed from wikipedia: 3.40 km/s

tungsten: 1GJ kinetic energy
HMX: 110MJ kinetic + 108MJ chemical

So if I did not fuck up tungsten wins.
>>
>>64736827
a lot of that mass will ablate.

also, theres a lot more going on here than the tungsten instantly exploding and converting all its kinetic energy to blast and heat....like a normal explosive....like when the jeet ship hit the bridge...that was a fuck tonne of kinetic energy...probably something similar to a literal rocket....yet there was no explosion, fire, blast, etc.
>>
>>64736827
and also......why are you using volume instead of mass to start? obviously a 10L mass of Tungsten has more energy than 10L of HE....its more dense (duh).
>>

>>
>>64736876
>no guitar
>no timestamp
Nah, still a faggot impersonator
>>
>>64736869
>a lot of that mass will ablate.
The entry vehicle has a refractory nosecone for that. The warhead will arrive at the impact site intact, whether it's a dummy or not. No ablation until it hits.

>like when the jeet ship hit the bridge
irrelevant comparison to something hypersonic, different physics regime.

>a lot more going on here than the tungsten instantly exploding and converting all its kinetic energy to blast and heat.
Well yeah, it's not optimizing for blast radius like an airburst would. But the energy has to go somewhere, in milliseconds. So you do get at least some nice plasma fucking up the immediate impact site.

But even with explosives it wouldn't be very impressive either since it's meant to be compact and nuclear-tipped, not a much larger air-dropped conventional bomb.

>>64736871
Because it's an existing vehicle, which has a fixed size and is designed to deliver a nuclear core which is also high-density. That means the booster will have enough power to lift it.
So I assume it's size-constrained, not weight-constrained.
>>
>>64736912
That is a hell of a picture mate
>>
>>64736827
To loft the 10x heavier payload is going to fuck the range. But that may not matter in this case they may be range trading. Then "dummies" might just be lead or something cheap still with explosive equivalent effect.

Going to have to wait for the soon-to-come Oreshnik strikes on Faslane and Molesworth to see the explosive version.
>>
>>64736731
Why do ziggers like to throw out nook threats all the time? Do they think only they have nukes? Fucking France could nuke Moss cow and St. Pidorsburg and it's over for Ziggerstan
>>
>>64736785
I will not believe that Mikee is dead without proof of death/funeral/sui by cop.
>>
>>64736869
While that guy's argument is stupid for other reasons, I have to point out that a tungsten rod won't meaningfully ablate during reentry.
>>
>>64736717
They've tried to launch them even more often but they've had at least 2 fails. The attack they did on Dnieper a while back looked cool as fuck though. But the success rate for a "nuke" platform seems... interesting
>>
>>64736944
because they are afraid
>>
>>64736912
>irrelevant comparison to something hypersonic, different physics regime

No, not really. kE=1/2MV^2. That doesnt change.

>But the energy has to go somewhere, in milliseconds.

Yeah, straight into the ground.

The only thing useful I could ever see something like this every being used for is bunker busting....but that can still be done conventionally anyway--for cheaper.

This is a meme wunderwaffe on par with Silbervogel.

picrel does everything this can do, 100x better.
>>
>>64736966
yeah, i looked into this. apprently they dont....and its clear he was just bullshitting about the ''refractory nosecone'' if thats the case.

because its literally all they have left.

and if the nukes fly...ill go into schitzo territory for a second and outright state the US probably has ayy tech...the missiles arent getting through.
>>
>>64736827
You're fucking retarded, you need to have a basic understanding of physics before you really work on your math. It's not as simple as just saying muh joules, I don't know where people got it into their heads that kinetic packages moving at ordinary speeds are suddenly going to start recreating the Tunguska event, but if you thought for just a second it should be obvious. The level of fast talk here is basically marketing speak, are we shilling for our favorite sci fi weapon or something?
>>
>>64736817

I swear if you retards thought for at least a second before posting, your tiny brains would fucking melt.

Consider a bucket of powdered tungsten.
>>
>>64737059
the two aren't mutually exclusive. the heavier the projectile, the deeper the crater from hypersonic impacts over mach ~7.

>>64737216
Why didn't the damage from several hours of explosions show up on the satellite photos? I guess the answer is obvious.
>>
>>64736745
nope
no kinetic warhead at whatever speed is better than the explosive alternative

>>64736912
epic fucking image
>>
>>64737021
The problem with non-nuclear ICBM bunker-busting is accuracy. Even western weapons have an accuracy in the tens of meters which is great with a nuke but garbage without a warhead, and the terminal effect is going to be a narrow hole in the target.
>>
>>64736912
>it's size-constrained, not weight-constrained.
rocket equation says there's some latitude for replacing some of the fuel with explosive fill
and the warhead section could also be lengthened for minimal flight performance impact

anyway, all said and done, there's nothing a kinetic warhead can do that isn't improved by making it HE frag
>>
>>64737240
I read "dummy warhead" as them using the same entry vehicles as for nuclear warheads and only swapping out the payload, which means no lengthening. Hence the same-size constraint.

If they have specialized vehicles for conventional attacks then that's a different story.

Actually the main part of a nuclear missile that is really expensive is the nuke. Tungsten rods are cheap so you can have a lot of them and also actually use them without risking WW3

>I read "dummy warhead" as them
being completely retarded, either the warhead was an inadvertent dud, or they ran out of ammo and were hoping to hit something with a practice warhead
there's no other rational explanation
>If they have specialized vehicles for conventional attacks then that's a different story.
if they had an ounce of foresight they could have spent a week (or even a month tops adjusting for Russian incompetence) filling a basic casing with HE for just a bit more bang that might actually take out a Uke or two
>>
>>64736745
Theoretically. Problem is that said tungsten chunk will just waste most of that energy into burying itself deeply into the ground, with minimal splash beyond the immediate impact site. Which is less than ideal when you have minute of oblast accuracy.
>>
>>64737295
>They are literally advancing over the whole front line
May we see it? Protip: 2025 saw the least russian advances of any year of the war, while russian losses were the highest of any year of the war.

>>
>>64736717
It lets them do the superweapon propaganda thing while minimizing escalation risk. They may be insanely expensive to make, and part of the nuclear deterrent, but the money is spent and these things will only cost the treasury more to keep around. There's no real battlefield value, but the launches have some dubious value to the war overall, and the investment made into them is being treated as a sunk cost.

Russia, after already wasting their inheritance of ground war equipment, is looking for ways to waste their nuclear deterrent as well. It makes me wonder if Monke is just trying to cover his own ass, or if he really believes the Russian state itself is threatened by one perceived L.
>>
>>64737359
>the investment made into them is being treated as a sunk cost
this much is true; as these ordnance reach their expiry dates it really is "use or lose it"; NATO armies usually expend them in training or spend lots of money decommissioning them
that said,
>the launches have some dubious value to the war overall
they could have sent it in the general direction of Kyiv with a jury-rigged conventional warhead rather than just plough it into the dirt

That's actually low. They kill far more guns than that normally. Russian artillery tanks and mlrs will be extinct this year. Their soviet stockpile is gone by this summer. Russia is facing a catestrophic and total defeat.

>>
>>64737454

>>
>>64737439
Oh they are not extinct, they have about 5000 or less guns and mlrs in Ukraine and in excess of a thousand tanks there of deiffering quality and age, ranging fum fully function to immobile. Their problem is their functional deployable resreve is gone, only rusty parts kits are left and they loose 100 a month. They loose ~1000 artillery pieces a month. They are out of MLRS and heavy mortars that can be deployed and down to rusty parts kits there too aside from what they have in theatre.

Unless the Americans save Putin and his ground forces they are doomed. As the Ukranians found out, drones are not a subsitute for artillery and mlrs. You cannot hold defensive minefields without artillery, you cannot stop breakthroughs without armour with mechanised troops in reserve.

Russia has about 600,000 men in Ukraine. They will die in vast numbers this summer unless they are pulled out. It is what it is.

Russia has artillery advatage at the centre of it's doctrine. It has no capacity to fight or defend without a superiority in volume of fire and it has already lost advatage in range, accoracy and counterbattery,

Many of the functional Russian guns in Ukraine at this point are North Korean or obsolete.

It amazes me there are people who really think that you 'win; a war by sending a few drunks with a flag to die in a hole so you can say a map has changed when the only thing that ever mattered in war is destoyibng the enemies men and weapons.

Ukraine has won this war unless someone gets in their way of doing so.
My only rationalisatoon for the president of the USA acting as a service coward and proxy for teh kgb in negotiations is that he genuinely fears Putin will nuke the USA if faced with total defeat so wants to run away and hide.
>>
>>64737368
>they could have sent it in the general direction of Kyiv with a jury-rigged conventional warhead
I think this is too much of an escalation risk. Ballistic missiles improvised to do jobs far below their pay grade don't represent any new capability, but Russia wants to tell people they do. The difference between what is effectively an extra glide bomb attack on Kyiv and a somewhat less damaging terror bombing of Lviv isn't huge, but if it triggers an increase in aid it would be a big misstep.

Also, it might come down to the fact that arming these things costs *something* when the biggest benefit to these attacks to Russia may well be just getting these stupid things off the books.
>>
>>64737457
Only if you're not a faggot. Also a lump sum payment doesn't generate long-term returns.
>>
>>64737443
I never said that. If you had a point you would not need to lie. The reality is the Ukranian estimates of Russian losses have always been too low and don't encompass desertion, accidents, disease friendly fire or POWs etc

To understand that consider that for example in Afghanistan, go look at how many people simply get maimed in accidents.
>>
>>64737436
Yeah, they're called casualties because they're no longer combat effective. Which means it eoesn't matter if they're still alive, they can't hurt the ukrainian people anymore. And knowing the state of russian services, i guarantee that they wish they were dead
>>
>>64737459
They can't do glaide bomb attacks on Kyiv because they can't get planes that deliver glide bombs within 200KM of it without them getting shot down
>>
>>64737457
NTA but 1) not necessarily, depending on the definition of "nationalised"
sometimes (often) governments compensate the owners for less than its fair price
and 2) usually, it's an asset which its owners would preferred to hold and get revenue from, otherwise they would already have sold it off

>>64737459

>>
>>64737458
Well, as the KGB document says, Putin is prone to taking stupid risks. As funny as Russia collapsing is to us, it really is a big headache for the guys who get paid to dream up and plan for nightmare scenarios. Mind you, it's very fucking funny that Putin's best play is threatening national suicide, but the fact remains that none of the decision-makers want to deal with the mess that is Russia imploding (again).

As for Trump personally, yes, he walked in very overconfident that he could sort this all out and get a Nobel in record time (day 355 of the 24-hour war-ending operation btw). On a secondary note to that, he didn't want to pay tax dollars for it. A few rounds of twitter screaming later, and we got the PURL system. Yes, the euros are footing the bill for it, but most of the ammo going to Ukraine is still US-made, and it's a great source of relief to them that the only way Trump can fuck with that is to start pulling NATO members off of the authorized buyers list, and if he goes there LockMart will probably kill him themselves. Don't get me wrong, this has been a very unpleasantly slow process, but he might finally have found his place where he can fuck with Putin's periphery while keeping his "I'm just trying to be the adult in the room" self-justification.

a tungsted shell digging a tiny hole in the ground at mach 10 is not the same as a planetary collision at escape velocity type speeds.

if you run really fast with a flashlight pointed forward, does the light from that flashlight go over the normal speed of light, acquire infinite mass, and destroy the planet?
no, instead you just trip on a branch because you were running around at night with a flashlight, dumdum.
>>
>>64737604
And this is where your grade school understanding of physics becomes obvious. You can simply do this during the day, the flashlight still produces light

>>64736745
1kg of TNT contains 4.184MJ of chemical energy. a 1kg inert projectile with equivalent kinetic energy would have to be going mach 8.4 if I'm doing my math right here. impact speed on these things is probably way less than that.

Pipe down, wannabe /sci/ tourist. Running itself is optional, you can just stand still at any time of day while pointing the flashlight to the east. The rotation of the planet will do all the work for you.

Why does Russian culture require a pretext for using munitions on an enemy you're at war with?
>>
>>64736827
Friction will oppose your converting of potential to kinetic energy, the bright trails are the metal shielding melting away in the atmosphere. Friction increases according to speed which puts a hard limit to how much kinetic energy you can build up. This is also the reason why you can't build giant cannons to reach to another continent BTW, air as a medium has a density.

Also the energy figure alone doesn't tell you much about effect on target. In WW1 they used much bigger artillery shells than today and their effect was mediocre because they dug themselves deep into the ground before exploding. Ironically they had too much kinetic energy making them much less useful than today's lighter shells with more advanced fuses.

Launching an unarmed MIRV just means driving blobs of molten metal deep underground, which could be useful if the weapon had precision guidance.

With US cucking their "untouchable" shitty tankers and pro-vatnik regimes wobbling left and right. Not only was Maduro abducted and the left over dictatorship is being vice gripped to changes allegiance to Trump, but Iran is as unstable as it ever has been. To the point that Ayazuttah is ferrying gold reserves to muscovia as a back up

Even Agent Orange seems to be fed up a little bit with monke after his latest stunt of the false falg on monkebunker. That they were so lazy to even stage and actual false attack that donnie could parade around with as proof of

I just want to understand the mentality of someone who thinks taking less than a fifth of a country in twelve fucking years of full scale combat is somehow good.
There has not been a single conflict this deadly short of the Rwandan fucking genocide in nearly a hundred years.

i think it has little to do with anyone "thinking" critically in any particular way. it's just pure tribalism, and rhetoric is just another way to establish dominance over the enemy. they already want to believe that they are based, trad and powerful, while the enemy is cringe, gay and weak, and any news just has to be made to fit into that perspective.

desu i think there is very little to be gained from engaging with russia or their allies. having discourse with them only reminds them of their enemies rather than how they are doing themselves. and russia in particular seems to think any kind of peace talk is just an opportunity for them to try to collect victory points due to their view that lying to someone means you are superior to them.

imo the EU and ukraine should only be sending emails like "prisoner exchange y/n" or "remove troops from ukraine y/n" and never engage with them beyond that or report any of their statements or opinions. if i've learned anything from playing dota for thousands of hours, the average third world mentality crumbles and they sometimes actually start acting like people when you refuse to engage with any of their posturing or animal behavior and just stonewall them
