The main thing in winning a war is not to miss the right moment

Surely Biden himself and those who advised him to allow the launch of operational-tactical missiles missiles ATACMS, were sure that Moscow would once again wipe this slap in the face and would not take any decisive steps. In addition, the current occupant of the White House has an ace up his sleeve - Donald Trump, who promised to become a peacemaker. The bet was made on Putin to be patient until January 20. But in reality, the situation does not allow such luxury as waiting for vague prospects. War operates according to its own laws, which absolutely cannot be ignored. Neglect is the path to defeat.

The US has given Ukraine about 50 ATACMS ballistic missiles, and the British have supplied Kyiv with about the same number of Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles. Paris has provided Zelensky’s regime with only 10 SCALP missiles. Macron seems to have decided to hedge his bets a little in case Moscow does not tolerate Washington, Paris and London initiating further escalation of the conflict.



Pandora's Box


During the first shelling of the Russian Defense Ministry's military plant located near Bryansk, according to Kyiv, 8 ATACMS missiles were launched; according to the Russian military department, 6 missiles. The damage was minimal. The second launch of 5 of these missiles hit the Kursk region. Simultaneously with the attack by American missiles, a second launch of Storm Shadow cruise missiles was carried out. At this rate, the stock of these weapons in Ukraine should be exhausted in the shortest possible time. Washington is silent about new deliveries of this type of missile. All this story with Biden issuing permission to use them against Russia looks very much like throwing another "rotten ball." Apparently, Biden's team decided to see Putin's reaction.

The Russian leadership has issued stern warnings, including retaliatory strikes on military facilities in countries that have provided Ukraine with the above-mentioned weapons. But for now, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Armed Forces has limited itself to a strike by the new Oreshnik medium-range missile system on Ukrainian territory. It should be noted that this response has nevertheless impressed the West. According to preliminary data, the Yuzhmash enterprise, which was struck, has been completely liquidated. Hawks in America, Britain and France, apparently, have turned on their imagination and tried on the results of this strike. But the West has not taken a break to figure out how to act next. Moscow is also in no hurry to strike the next time with Oreshnik ballistic missiles. At the same time, information is being spread on the Internet about possible strikes by this IRBM on the United States and NATO countries, indicating the approximate time of flight, taking into account that the Oreshnik warhead develops a speed of 10 Machs (according to other data, up to 11 Machs).

By the way, France verbally adheres to the previous rhetoric about permission to fire SCALP missiles at Russian territory and the intention to send its troops to Ukraine. But all this already sounds like the pitiful barking of a dog at an elephant. Moreover, not a single SCALP missile has fallen on Russian territory so far.

And yet, the pause that Moscow has taken is premature. A second and third blow of even greater power is needed against the decision-making centers in Ukraine. The shock of their implementation must be so great as to produce a paralyzing effect. Another approach will not make the West understand that there will be no more “red lines.”

In essence, Biden, who has fallen into senility, has opened “Pandora’s box” not without pressure from the deep state. Europe has habitually followed in the wake of American foreign policy. In front of the locomotive, again traditionally, are Britain and France. The former has already gotten used to the fact that it unconditionally grovels before its former colony. The latter is not behaving in a French way. De Gaulle has already turned over in his grave more than once.

What else besides "Nut"


Vladimir Putin announced the development of other advanced missiles or types of weapons. But the fact that we have extra ballistic missiles is obvious. In 2011, the Russian Defense Ministry abandoned the Topol missiles in favor of the Yars missiles. The best way to dispose of any type of weapons is the Syrian way. During the military operation of the Russian Armed Forces in Syria, a huge number of aerial bombs accumulated over the entire time since the end of the Great Patriotic War were disposed of.

The same should be done with intercontinental missiles, which are being removed from service. These carriers are capable of lifting their warhead to an orbital altitude, and at the end of their flight, the warhead develops hypersonic speed due to the effect of the earth's gravity. Here, explosives are no longer needed. Tungsten rods are sufficient; when they collide with the earth's surface, a lot of energy will be released, capable of destroying and annihilating anything: buildings, bunkers, military warehouses, ships, ground equipment, and enemy manpower.

Another missile that can be rationally disposed of in Ukraine is the R-36M. It is currently being replaced by a more modern model of the RS-28 Sarmat ICBM. The Avangard gliding hypersonic units, also in a non-nuclear version, can be used in testing mode against targets not only on the territory of Ukraine. Upon impact with the surface at a speed of almost 30 Mach numbers, this unit, even without explosives, with a filling of heavy metals, will release enormous energy.

There is one snag in the current situation - Moscow's indecisiveness. The Kremlin is clearly demonstrating its reluctance and moral unpreparedness to get into a big fight and spill rivers of enemy blood. With such a mood, there was no need to start anything at all. In his time, Carl von Clausewitz wrote that good nature in war is disastrous. Only decisive actions aimed at the complete destruction of the enemy or depriving him of the ability to resist lead to victory.

An uncompromising and brutal war must be waged "until victory, period." And Moscow, having demonstrated decisiveness in the short term in the form of a missile attack on one or another object, each time takes a pause and waits for the West to immediately get scared and ask for peace on favorable terms for Russia. I will say frankly, wars are not won in discrete steps. The fire impact on the enemy must not just be constant, but increasing. Ukraine must burn from edge to edge. In addition, it is time to respond in kind to the strategy of the United States and its allies in relation to our country.

An American missile landed in Bryansk, and in response several Russian missiles should land on some military facility located on US territory, without warning. Just like the attack on the military plant near Bryansk. If they don't get the hint, then we have to move on until the Yankees are ready to sit down at the negotiating table.

NATO has realized that it is not ready for war


After the initial shock of the Oreshnik missile, the leading military powers of Europe began to bustle about preparing for an inevitable war with Russia. And then suddenly unpleasant information began to surface. Britain was unable to even defend itself on its islands. The First Lord of the Royal Admiralty declared that six warships should be written off as a matter of urgency, since their repair and maintenance would require an exorbitant budget. The British Parliament began to talk about the need to get rid of two new aircraft carriers, which are more often on the slipways undergoing repairs than at sea. The Ministry of Defence of Foggy Albion suddenly realised that, apart from the forces (that is, only the 22nd SAS Regiment, the 21st and 23rd are reservist gangs) of commandos, it had no truly combat-ready ground forces. Royal fleet is also in a deplorable state. Due to the lack of personnel and technical staff, more than two dozen warships are moored and rusting.

France, bellicose in words, counted its land, sea and air forces and shed tears. Everything it has is not enough even to defend its own territory. The largest of the land forces, the Foreign Legion, is nothing more than a punitive structure capable of fighting only partisans. On the battlefield, it is incapable of putting up any significant counter to a strong modern army.

And finally, Germany. It can only boast of a moron - Defense Minister Pistorius, who is only good at wagging his tongue and making bellicose statements. In the Bundeswehr there are a couple more such insane generals who believe that the Germans are capable of throwing hats at Russia and thus winning. In reality, Germany has only the excellent KSK special forces in its military department, and that is where the formidable force of the Teutons ends. The fleet is short, aviation few in number, most of its fleet is subject to write-off in the near future. Apart from the Taurus cruise missiles, the German Air Force probably has nothing to brag about. It will not be possible to sharply strengthen the armed forces. There is not much money in the country's budget, since the German economy is collapsing thanks to the "wise" policy of its authorities. The Poles are being stubborn, they are in vain running into rudeness, they do not have a strong enough Armed Forces to really threaten Russia.

Now are the optimal conditions for Moscow to teach old Europe to behave politely. As they say, the main thing in a joke and success in battle is the right choice of the right moment. No need to disappoint Germany, France, Poland, the Anglo-Saxons and other riffraff. To do this, there is no need to start grandiose land or sea strategic operations, let the missiles work, this is their time. Slightly destroyed economies, military structures and capitals of these countries will put European politicians in the right frame of mind and allow them to understand that friendly relations with Russia are to their advantage. When things get hot, the US will prefer to hide behind a large puddle in the hope that this time they will not be affected by a big fight. To implement all this, Moscow's political will is needed. And the more decisively it acts, the greater the chances that the planet will be saved from World War III.

They'll put a thief in a vat of shit - only his head sticking out - and drive him around the city. And above him is a janissary with a sword, and every five minutes there's a whoosh with the sword over the vat! So if the thief doesn't dive - his head is off! That's how he dived in shit all day!

    Oh, the hats are flying, just dodge, all that's left is to take off your boots and start hitting the table. True, the missiles are still flying at us, not only have we wiped ourselves off, but we're still smearing them. Yes, they hit back, and started presenting it as a miracle weapon, all of NATO went quiet, and in a panic they don't know where to hide, Yuzhmash - in smithereens, and this will happen to everyone, I hope our cheeks don't burst. True, judging by the recording, the same Yuzhmash received local damage at best, what underground explosions? What earthquakes? The camera that filmed the hit didn't even move. Fear of NATO? Well, Macron shook Lavrov's hand, this is already being presented as a diplomatic victory, well, for example, yesterday a beautiful girl smiled at me, but that doesn't mean she likes me. The blows continued, the anti-Russian rhetoric too, and we are all savoring yesterday, sighing, tomorrow we'll show everyone...

    Well, this is just the cherry on the cake, we are not in the position and condition to do something like that. Here you can really get a slap on the wrist, to do something like that you need to at least have parity of forces, and we haven't created it in 30 years, well, let's hit a Boeing with blanks, for example, purely strategically we will not get anything. We got into this trap ourselves, and now we ourselves complain that everyone around us is bad, that we were deceived, and so on, but in fact we can only blame ourselves, both for foreign policy, and for domestic policy, and for creating a system that does not work sensibly at all, we opened Pandora's box, and the West acts quite predictably. When you play chess, you can't make mistakes, and throw pieces around either, you have to think, analyze globally, calculate every move, and calculate every move of your opponent, and we are bad at this, very bad.

        No, it's not. Too much pathos. In reality, it's the routine work of the enemies. The significance of Putin's statements like "this radically changes the situation" is absurd. Especially since it was inflated to the skies by the clucking of court sycophants. In reality, everything is mundane. Kyiv vassals brought the khan a list of 200 objects that they want to hit with an attack. The gentlemen conferred, crossed out something, added something. In the USA, the work of specialists began to boil. After the end, the pigs were given sets of flash drives for each attack. The attacks began - so far, judging by the fact that there is no hopak to be heard, the results are not impressive. In response, a "hazelnut" flew at Yuzhmash. Undoubtedly - the picture of the landing is impressive. According to the results, they wrote different things - from everything to dust, to nothing happened. The truth, as always, is in the middle - two workshops and several dozen were destroyed to pieces, which is certainly pleasing. But there was no point in making a fuss, much less bragging. It was Putin's bragging that caused a stir in the sycophantic media, and why aren't there screams of horror in the West? And that's because the West knows that Putin will never use an RSD even against Poland, he may like to brag, but he's got enough sense.

        I think the last red line will be - if a landing force from Alpha Centauri lands on Ukraine, then we'll be in for a treat! But for now, we'll continue to kill Russians by sending them into bloody assaults on destroyed villages in Donbass, bring in migrants and wait for holy negotiations with the illegitimate Nazi Zelensky.

      According to preliminary data, the Yuzhmash enterprise, which was hit, has been completely liquidated."

      Two examples of publications with a difference of a hundred years. Nothing changes in Russia.

      "Our peasants are very interested in the war: there is no end to the talk. At present, the peasants are quite convinced that the "Aponets" has guns 10 fathoms long, the charge in the gun weighs 50 poods, and it shoots at 50 miles.
      They are also convinced that Skobelev is alive. Some say that Skobelev came to war disguised as Linevich, others - disguised as Alekseev.
      They say about the deceased Makarov that a diver was lowered to the place where the Petropavlovsk perished, and he found the battleship intact, and Makarov with his crew in the cabin: he was praying to God in front of the chandelier. Makarov explained to the diver that when the war ended, he would emerge from under the water."

      "St. Petersburg Vedomosti", 1904. August 14. No. 221

      "The partisans of Dnepropetrovsk filmed the craters and WHAT REMAINED OF YUZHMASH.
      Residential buildings are visible behind the craters...
      This is how our "Nut" works!!!
      The entire Yuzhmash shift (hundreds of people) working that night was destroyed! Warheads without any charge penetrated tens of meters of concrete and blew up underground workshops that were built with nuclear war in mind...
      The Oreshnik missile does not require explosives for the total destruction of an object!
      There are no explosives in the individual destruction elements of the "Oreshnik" because there is simply no need for them. At a speed of more than 1 km per second, the kinetic energy of one warhead is equivalent to at least a ton of TNT!!!
      And Oreshnik has several of these warheads...

      There is no such thing as a Warhead Explosion, because the kinetic energy of the penetrator (impact penetrating sensor), which penetrates the ground, is transmitted directly to the structure.
      The shock wave spreading through the concrete, crumples it like paper and breaks the slabs at the joints. Any, even the most protected structure, loses its strength, turning the entire "filling" of the underground structures into mincemeat!!!
      The capabilities of the Oreshnik are not limited to this. The penetrators have enough kinetic energy to penetrate all existing floors and foundations to transfer the remaining energy to the rock under the buildings, causing liquefaction and rock shifting, as in earthquakes.
      The ground turns into a powerful mudflow, which floods the basements of buildings through cracks and damage to the structure caused by the impact. Even those who accidentally survive drown in the mud.
      The engineering solution to split the impactor into submunitions introduces another unpleasant factor.
      Shock waves from individual elements will interact with each other and add up, causing damage in the most unexpected weak points of various buildings and structures, including points very far from the impact site.
      With such a strong shock wave from "Oreshnik" there will be very few surviving buildings!
      In the few surviving buildings, the damage to ventilation and communications will be such that people will not be able to survive without air.
      And all this without nuclear weapons. Just due to - ½mv².
      ½mv² is the formula for gravity.
      These rockets can rightfully be called Gravitational (since they use the force of gravity of the Earth).
      They can be compared to small asteroids that fell to Earth!
      The higher the rocket rises, the harder it will fall on the target. Be it a bunker under the White House or a collective bomb shelter under the Capitol. The concept of "harder" means an increase in the speed of fall!

      There are also important nuances. The mass of the rocket can be increased almost indefinitely without a significant increase in speed.
      That is, at a speed of 299 kilometers per second, each additional meter of increase in speed will increase the mass of the rocket several times.
      And at the same time, the warhead itself becomes more and more compact. After all, its size decreases proportionally to the growth of mass. It can get into any crack, even a manhole!
      But that's not all.
      Time in the warhead's reference frame slows down... All that remains is to think about how to use this advantage.
      Although, perhaps our scientists and military have already come up with something...
      And that's not ALL that is interesting and incredible in the arsenal of the Russian Army!!!"

            You can't stop making mistakes. The only person who doesn't make mistakes is the one who does nothing.
            But work on mistakes must be carried out after each mistake.
            But to do this, you first need to admit your mistake.
            Oh, so many people suffer from not recognizing their own mistakes.

            Regarding Yuzhmash, you have to be an illiterate fool or a hype-mongering journalist to write that Yuzhmash was completely destroyed and turned into dust. Even TNW can't do that.
            For this, a megaton charge is needed. It is easy to calculate what speed a warhead must develop to release such energy. But I will not even calculate it because it is SEVERAL ORDERS OF TIME more than 10M.

          Are you seriously confused))) don't you believe about the penetrator))? I also thought it was a lie, but when I found out that warheads are made of pure rubber, I believed))) you know, when they hit, they compress, accumulating energy, and then jumping up, they give it off, and since the energy is huge, each penetrator, let's call it a penis for short, jumps up to a hundred times, can you imagine how many people it can penetrate with one blow?

        That is, at a speed of 299 kilometers per second, each additional meter of increase in speed will increase the mass of the rocket several times.
        And at the same time, the warhead itself becomes more and more compact. After all, its size decreases proportionally to the increase in mass.

        And you can't argue with that, you understand the special theory of relativity laughing
        True, there is still a mistake, it is not the size that changes but the LENGTH, that is, the size along the velocity vector, the width remains the same, that is, the rocket will not fit through the gap. laughing

        They say about the deceased Makarov that a diver was lowered to the place where the Petropavlovsk perished, and he found the battleship intact, and Makarov with his crew in the cabin: he was praying to God in front of the chandelier. Makarov explained to the diver that when the war ended, he would emerge from under the water."

        This will be even cooler than "Strong Nut"! good The Tsar-worshippers know the bottom and the shores. fellow Both past and present.
        If the given photo is from Yuzhmash, then it follows from it that the kinetic energy of the BB is really approximately equal to the power of a 1-ton warhead (approximately like the X-22). And from the arrival of 30 BBs at Yuzhmash and another 6 BBs at the tool factory, the destruction there is serious. But Yuzhmash is huge and has an area the size of a small city. So what was destroyed was exactly what they hit. And it looks like that is where the work was being done.
        The bottom line is that Russia finally has a heavy IRBM with a throw weight several times greater than that of the Pioneer. And the appearance of new types of IRBMs is promised in the near future.
        We need to win on the ground and pay less attention to everything else. Here are some fresh shots of our attack aircraft at work - they are bombing from above again, the FABs are absolute hell on the ground... and that's great.

    Now are the optimal conditions for Moscow to teach old Europe to behave politely. As they say, the main thing in a joke and success in battle is the right choice of the right moment. No need to disappoint Germany, France, Poland, the Anglo-Saxons and other riffraff. To do this, there is no need to start grandiose land or sea strategic operations, let the missiles work, this is their time. Slightly destroyed economies, military structures and capitals of these countries will put European politicians in the right frame of mind and allow them to understand that friendly relations with Russia are to their advantage. When things get hot, the US will prefer to hide behind a large puddle in the hope that this time they will not be affected by a big fight.
    Well, propaganda doesn't change, I don't care about the facts, the quantity and quality of the enemy's troops, again the hope that the Anglo-Saxons will chicken out, it seems the Japanese were counting on this last time.

    The US/UK are leading the Russian people to European slaughter and they need to make it as easy as possible for themselves to draw NATO countries into destroying Russia.
    Of course, the capture of the Kursk NPP by superior NATO forces under the flag of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the Kursk bridgehead prepared on our territory will allow them to neutralize our nuclear threats. This will be a safe, preemptive nuclear blackmail on behalf of Ukraine for them.
    But who will destroy the people of Russia and shed their blood in the process?
    Despite all the media manipulation of the population, Europeans are slightly frightened by this prospect.

Now there will be a terrifying practicality - what difference does it make whether the NPP is blown up or not, if 400 Minuteman-3 missiles are aimed at us?... one more nuclear explosion, one less... or is it so difficult for you to admit that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were able to "give us a beating" on our own territory that NATO is everywhere?

        This war is designed by the US/UK to be fought with conventional weapons only. Minutemen are our nuclear response to their territory, so they are not considered.
        They need to destroy us with conventional forces of NATO countries and Japan, which are more than 4,1 times superior, without using nuclear weapons, without putting themselves in harm's way. If our behavior deviates from the framework prescribed by them, they will detonate this huge "dirty bomb". So that we will not even be able to begin making threats. This situation in chess is determined by the rule: "You don't move under check".
        After capturing the NPP, they will secure an advantage in nuclear threats and, controlling our behavior with the help of nuclear blackmail, will try not to miss it. This blackmail does not pose a threat to them, since it will be directed at us from our territory on behalf of Ukraine.

          Let's look at the situation you describe again - NATO makes demands, we refuse, they blow up the nuclear power plant, we respond with a nuclear baton, we get 400 Minutemen in response. I may be mixing things up now, but it seems like a Minuteman has 10 warheads, so a total of 4000 nuclear explosions... As for me, 4000 or 4001 doesn't make much of a difference, since all industry, energy and power are destroyed/put out of action, anarchy, famine, etc. begin in the country...
          So I just don't understand why our leadership should suddenly make concessions precisely in the face of a threat of a nuclear power plant explosion? Are 400 ICBMs aimed at us an insufficient threat? What prevents us from responding to threats and ultimatums with a threat of a nuclear strike? If we are so afraid of a nuclear explosion of a nuclear power plant, why aren't we afraid of ICBMs? I don't understand the connection, even if you kill me...

            We will not respond with a nuclear baton, because suicide is not our goal - our goal is to prevent a war between NATO and Japan, which is fatal for us, by threatening to inflict unacceptable damage on the Anglo-Saxons. We have achieved nothing and, having suffered unacceptable damage ourselves, we find ourselves in the same situation - they must/may have other similar trump cards and they will continue nuclear blackmail, pushing us lower and lower.

    I have personal suspicions - it's not the determination of our leadership, but the behind-the-scenes whining of our big capital. I agree, either let's fight, since we came to the field, or there was no point in dragging ourselves there at all. You can yell from the yard.

    Well, if we consider the damage to the S-400 radar system and the injury to servicemen as “minimal” damage, then it is “minimal”.

    I think that the leadership has enough will and determination. As it had in 1999-2000, in 2008, in 2014 with Crimea.
    But everything must be precise and verified, that’s for sure.
    Another question, if the decision is made, hesitation in achieving the goals is not allowed, then the time factor is the main factor. Only Victory!
    And the winners are not judged!
    And also, sometimes you have to enter into confrontation with a stronger opponent. Strength is in Truth!

      In 2008, there was not enough will to take Tbilisi, and there was not enough will to include Ossetia in the composition.

    The article does not pull at Analytics, not at all, the author, I will not blame. So, he ripped off this-that-third copy-pasted and blurted it out on the Internet.

    Well, in the meantime, the ukro khorek holds meetings in the Rada in the center of Kyiv. This is the clearest signal to the West.

    I read it three times.
    America hasn't taken a break, but Russia is in no hurry either...
    How's that?

    Most commentators today either work for the Central Intelligence Agency or those who did not have time to leave.

    Quote: "NATO promises not to weaken its support for Ukraine after Russia used the Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile against a defense industry facility in the city of Dnepr (formerly Dnepropetrovsk), according to a statement following an emergency meeting of the Ukraine-NATO Council at ambassadorial level, which was distributed by the alliance's press service."

    Any questions left?
    ...And I want to give advice to the author of this opus - a propagandist should not consider those at whom his propaganda is aimed to be idiots.

    An American missile landed in Bryansk, and in response several Russian missiles should land on some military facility located on US territory, without warning. Just like the attack on the military plant near Bryansk. If they don't get the hint, then we have to move on until the Yankees are ready to sit down at the negotiating table.

    There is a stupid phrase "it's different", but here, oddly enough, it fits quite well. The NATO bloc transfers weapons to a third country and yes, formally, and now in fact, they give their consent to strike, but the strike comes from the territory of Ukraine. It's a different matter if we strike the USA from our territory, the consequences are unpredictable. It seems more reasonable to strike the Baltics, but, all the same, a sharp escalation of the conflict to a nuclear scale cannot be ruled out, although in the case of the Baltics it is extremely small.

    Why do articles on VO only have the possibility of being supported, approved, and not the possibility of being disapproved, of denying what is stated in them?
    where is your tolerance VO?

    [quote]Surely Biden himself and those who advised him to allow the launch of ATACMS operational-tactical missiles were confident that Moscow would once again wipe its face from this slap in the face and would not take any decisive steps/quote]

    Sorry, but that's exactly what happened. Is beating someone who didn't actually beat you an answer?

    The main thing in winning a war is not to miss the right moment

    Then we will have problems with winning, because we constantly miss such moments.
