"Daggers": fly more often - it will be cleaner
What is a note like this called? Investigation or still "point of view"? The choice is up to the reader, if everything related to the well-aimed hit of the "Dagger" is really not a fake. So read it and try to figure it out... But let's start with a first-person quote.
As for the red lines, let me keep this to myself, because on our part it will mean quite tough actions precisely at those decision-making centers that I have already spoken about and which you mentioned.
But still, this is an area that should be left to the decision, first of all, of the military-political leadership of the country. And those people who deserve appropriate actions of this level on our part, must, of course, first of all draw a conclusion for themselves what they may face if they act, crossing these lines and lines,

– VV Putin at the plenary session of the SPIEF.
The hint of our President was extremely transparent and contained a fairly clear message about what events would follow, and these alleged events did not seem to be long in coming ... The question is, did such events take place and what are they: propaganda canard or cruel, but joyful truth for Russians?
There were exactly 200 officers
The media continues to be full of information that the Russians "Daggers" (hypersonic missiles) destroyed a secret bunker with 200 Western and Ukrainian officers managing communications under NATO command.
Let's analyze whether this is even possible in reality?
From the “Military Review” dossier:
“The Russian hypersonic air-to-surface missile Kinzhal is the latest Russian weapons, which is placed on combat tactical and strategic aircraft, and its range depends on the speed of the carrier itself.
The full name of this weapon is hypersonic aviation the 9-A-7660 Kinzhal missile system, which has a maximum flight range of about 3 kilometers.
Missile type: aeroballistic 9-C-7760.
Warhead weight: 500 kg.
Type of warhead: penetrating high-explosive, high-explosive fragmentation (no exact data) or nuclear.
Damage radius: from 15 thousand square meters. m (data are classified).
Depth of damage (penetration of concrete): from 1,2 meters (data are classified).
Guidance: GLONASS with an optical homing head, as well as an AWACS aviation complex on a carrier.
Carriers: Su-57, MiG-31K, Tu-160, Tu-22M3. Destruction range: 2 km (MiG-000K), 31 km (Tu-3M000).
Maximum speed: hypersonic up to 14 km/h (Mach 688–10).

Where is that red line?
So how was it possible to break through a concrete armored bunker with a class of protection against a nuclear strike?
60 meters of concrete of this bunker, and according to other sources - and all 120 meters, a nuclear bomb, acting with all its charge force on the total surface of a reinforced concrete structure, will not be able to penetrate, but the "Dagger" - a sting, is a completely different matter - it can, because in the case of the "Dagger" - the principle of a hammered nail works.
Imagine an elephant, it is easily bitten by a mosquito, piercing the thick skin of this huge animal with its thin sting... And now imagine a log that has fallen with its entire surface, for example, on the same elephant - the skin of this creature is unlikely to suffer much from such a blow.
Yes, and the elephant himself, if a mosquito bite with malaria, may not survive in some scenario, but under a log, oddly enough, it will almost certainly survive. And maybe not even scratch.
In our country, they have always been able to make weapons, starting their own artillery history even during the time of the Grand Duke of Moscow Ivan III, which entered its heyday under John IV, the same - the Terrible, continued by Peter I and the whole Demidov dynasty.
The weapons business, based on the unique engineering thought of our ancestors, helped a lot to win in the Great Patriotic War, just remember the weapons of victory: PPSh - G.S. Shpagin, PK - M.T. Kalashnikov, and also about the Thirty-four and " Katyusha, Yakakh, Ilakh, Po and Pe, the elusive underwater Pike and much more.
Are ducks flying?
And everything seems to be smooth, decorous and noble, and even everything coincides - according to the characteristics and indirectly, the fact of the destruction of these "two hundred" is confirmed. And above all - the absolute silence of Western representatives. But something in this whole story does not give me rest.
Just as a professional journalist who has been taught exactly this for years, and since then once and for all has become accustomed to analyzing information and verifying it, avoiding “duck foie gras” in the materials ...
What do you think - was it or wasn't it?
