Russia’s new hypersonic missile: impossible to shoot down? | About That
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2024
- Ukrainian forensics experts claim Russia attacked Kyiv with a Zircon hypersonic missile. Andrew Chang explains how the technology works, what makes it so hard to shoot down, and why - if the claim that Russia fired a Zircon into Ukraine is true - the attack could represent a severe escalation in the Russia-Ukraine war.

Zircon have a 3-400kg warhead. That building wouldn't stand up after the hit.
the building wouldn't have stand if the missile had pierced it at an angle, it's like a hot knife through butter, even without a warhead, just with its weight and speed
You're crazy, if it comes at 9 times the speed of sound you don't even need a warhead. The kinetic energy alone would do much more damage than that.
@@mrtee3477No. Mach 9 equates to a specific energy 4.7Mj/kg. TNT has a specific energy of 4.184Mj/kg. Many military explosives have RE factors greater than 1. For example, comp B, C4 widely used in military explosives have RE factor of 1.33.
This means a specific energy equivalent to Mach 9.73.
That’s how you know that was done by Ukrainian AD system
@@mrtee3477 you do realize that hypersonic missiles slow down?
Damage of the building looks more like air defense missile. The bigger missile would just destroy part of the building, not just break windows and cause a fire
Exactly, half of such a building would be destroyed. And ordinary people are "eating" this nonsense from masmedia like a CBC that Zircon rocket has hitting it 😂
indeed, a Zirkon carries half a ton of explosives, if that thing strikes a un-armored structure, the building is GONE
@@1vor12dokus8 Highly doubt it carries half a ton of explosives given the requirements of having to go hypersonic in the first place.
@@Theguyinthefez internet claims around 300-400kg of payload (of what explosive?). not half a ton, but enough to destroy or deal very major damage to this kind of a building. what we see on these pictures is more like a suicide drone or missile debris.
And it would not be necessary for Russia to use an expensive hypersonic missile to strike a residential building! They have enough other weapons in their arsenal to do that.
When comments are better content than video...
Facts
In comedic sense, the video is better
This is when air defense falls on a building. Russians don't shoot at houses. You can’t just post the image of the fall of Ukrainian missiles, or they’ll shoot you at the front. Here's American democracy in Ukraine. I was born and live in Odessa, Ukraine.
Russian Bot Humor is the worst
I was just thinking the same thing...
Bro it's clearly an air defense failure...
Just like in Belgorod
True
russia has been firing converted air defense missiles at Ukraine for a while could be one of those impact points and they didnt do their research to find where the real impact point is
he's not your bro
sure ,expert 😂 😂
No way would that building be standing if it was hit by a zircon....even without a warhead.
Bravo. Rods from God concept.
You know nothing of physics
if it was traveling that fast it would over penetrate not transferring enough energy into the building to take a chunk out of it, russias current hypersonic missiles require to slow down to maneuver so it wouldnt hit at max speed, other comments mention a warhead upto 500kg which would have at least took most of the building with it however it likely is a converted s300 that russia has been launching fairly often
@@Brandon34098What about the us navy experimental rail gun's projectile (5000 mph) and anti armor wolfram kinetic penetrators then? (Zircon, 7000 mph and far greater mass & surface area.)
@@ockertwessels649 it was canceled because of the lack of damage, poking tiny holes in ships wasnt worth the investment and very high maintenance, if its worth returning to then they will after electro-magnetic tech catches up
Nobody fires a hypersonic at an apartment block. The missile is worth more than the building. Unless there was a high ranking general in that building.
A 30' missile hitting a thin brick wall at 10,000kph would go right through the building and the back side of the building would have a massive amount of damage. That kind of damage does not show up in the video. Instead it has the damage foot print of a slower moving object.
I'm surprised that they left the comments turned ON. Especially on a report THIS BAD!
Ruzzia has a history to striking civilian targets with every other missile they have. So your logic is wrong.
@@Finness894 CBC is a PITA when it comes to comments. Any story that involves the government, you can bet the comment section is turned off. Heaven forbid we can vent at our elected shmucks in a CBC video.
@@SilverforceX we know you are a liar
Yeah my guess is they are hitting the homes of military and government officials and Ukraine doesn’t report it because they don’t report any casualties
It wasn't a hypersonic missile. It was a hypersonic shovel.
"Hypersonic washing machine "
Ursula Von Dercrazy
@NoleFam-xz1eb I told you. They're not hypersonic missiles. They're hypersonic shovels. They weren't expecting those.
yea with washing machine chips in that hypersonic shovel what are these kiev authorities smoking thinking its a missile
maybe even a sub-sonic one
The warhead was actually a toilet
Hypersonic missiles are incredibly expensive so they must be targeted at economically and strategically important targets. We are talking 10’s to 100’s of millions per missile. An apartment block? Really
@NoleFam-xz1eb You say it as though french legionaires are bionic-nuclear powered super soldiers. No dude. That's ridiculous. Funny how all these Russia scare stories are coming out at EXACTLY the same time. Almost as if they were choreographed by the cia's propaganda wing to get a bill passed in the house to send billions more of our $$ to ukraine...
"Hypersonic missiles are incredibly expensive" - they are expensive for you!!! And if we have a rocket, an egg, or 10, 100, 1000 eggs, I'll give you for free. What do you think? In dollars? We don't need them. And the factory will just work for a salary, and for a week for free. They will load it for free, another team will bring it for free, the railway is free, and whoever needs it will be sent to the address for free. Tell me the address? London, Washington, Paris, Berlin...
They can't show the damaged patriot
It's expensive in the West. Not in Russia.
If you already have the infrastructure build to mass produce these missiles they more or less cost as much or as little as you want them to. Especially if you're one of the only ones in the world that can produce them.
I have a $300 plasma cutter. The torch reaches 40,000 degrees F. Four times hotter than the sun. If it really was a Zircon it would have left a hole clear thru the building 120 in diameter just from the kinetic power of the impact travelling at that speed. And that is without any warhead on it.
what your cutter and torch have to do with rest of the message?
The plasma is formed is only while its flying at supersonic speeds. when lands, the plasma disappears almost instantly upon impact, so it doesnt have time to burn through anything
Exactly how much kinetic energy does a hypersonic missile have in your imagination and where does it get it from?
@@LASSEFITTA it’s simple math. 2000lbs traveling at 15 times the speed of sound would blow a 20 foot diameter hole halfway through a carrier without a warhead.
My NEWS told me Russia ran out of ammo over a year ago, so this can't be a Russian missile.
nobody said russia was running out of ammunition.

It was a shovel
It was hit by Ukrainian short-range anti-air missile.
Zircon is designed to destroy ships. Naturally, if he had gotten into this house, he would have pierced right through. And yes, it’s one thing to destroy a multimillion-dollar ship, but it’s not profitable to spend money on a concrete box and an S-300 missile
Yeah Ukraine could not handle their own shovel
That building were not hit by a hypersonic missiles and only have minor damage you are clueless to what hypersonic missiles destruction really is
A lot of people has no idea what PLASMA is and temperature it has. Lets say cosmos is plasma. Sun is plasma.
@@RunForest13that isn't how they work lol
Canadian State Media, just reverse everything they say and you have something close to the truth.
the ICC warrant for 'kidnapping children' tells you all you need to know about war crimes in Ukraine
If they had evidence of Russian strikes on civilians, they would not need to stretch the truth of child relocation as kidnapping.
If they even thought of charging Russia for missile strikes on civilians, they could not ignore the countless non-stop intentional Ukrainian strikes on civilians
young chinese guy who studied in mid-level US so called university cluelessly descanting about things that are so obvious for average educated Russian... OMG - this building would've been wiped out after such strike !
After hitting the ground at Mach 8 speed, how is it possible to find some parts of missile
Oh, you’re not supposed to think or have rational thoughts, then it all makes sense
Because its crap .
Because it only has bigger debris when shot out of the sky. When it hit ground only peddle size hard alloys survive. Enough to confirm.
It doesn't. That's basically a railgun.
@@markpensarn593 You mean Russia sends stink bombs?

Trust me; that _block house_ was not hit by the _Zircon_ missile (not even an _Iskander_ or the _Kinzhal_ ). ;-)
100% if it hit by a hypersonic missile the kinetic energy along would flatten those block of flat
its only a kaliber missile
But why? So called "Kinzhal" carries greater payload than Zircon. So I am already not trusting you.
@@jetli740 Thank you!
It’s a failed AD
If this was hypersonic rocket, there would be a huge crater, this was something else on video. Raw kinetic energy from "Zirkon-blast" adds alone almost 10fold warhead yield. Building would not be there.
No it doesn't. They wouldn't bother with a warhead if that was true.
It could go through the building and explode after
people seriously dont understand kinetic energy. If kinetic energy caused explosion people would explode after being shot 🤦♂
@@davidste60its true when you have estudied engeneeing. Above 7 times the speed of sound, the explosive charge is not necessary to sink a ship, in example. To blow an underground anti nuclear bunker, both kinetics and detonation are used
@@ashleygoggs5679you dont understand kinetic energy and its exponential scale. The blast that extinguished the dinosaurs was caused by a stone hitting the earth at hypersonic speed.. The energy liberated was the equivalent to thousands of nuclear bombs
so this is also made out of washing machine part and shovel propeller?
Russians took washing machines from ukraine and built hypersonic missiles
Of course! And when the centrifuge mode is turned on, the rocket starts flying in circles, which is why it is so difficult to shoot it down.
I'm not a hypersonicologist....but if that building was hit by a russian hypersonic missle called zircon everything in that scene would be obliterated.😮
That damaged building was air defense gone wrong
I watched the report of the Russians regarding this particular case. They say that any Russian hypersonic missile hit this building the whole building would be wiped off the face of the earth. They believe that from the damage on the building it was a Ukrainian air defense missile that missed the target and ended up in the building.
Very probable
@derekl190 No it's true cause if it's a Hypersonic the building would have been leveled.
It has such tremendous kinetic energy to cause destruction without ammunition itself.
In India we have Hypersonic missiles so we know it's affective abilities.
@@viswasrujith8426 And that fast Missile system BRAHMOS developed in collaboration with Russia.

@@viswasrujith8426 you dont understand what your remotely talking about. Kinetic energy dosnt mean a thing for a missile unless it was trying to penetrate an object. The missile would do any less damage becuase of its kinetic energy at all. If it had vast amounts of kinetic energy it would simply pass throught the building. The only time the kinetic energy is worth harnessing is when you time the fuse properly so the missile penetrates the building/object and detonates half way through the building/object causing the blast to be more deadly.
However the kinetic energy alone does not effect how lethal the blast is, if anything it actually makes the detonation worse as the projectile is travelling its carrying the explosion a longer distance in time making it less focused. Maybe minimal losses but the point is kinetic energy dosnt make the missile any more deadly then a conventional missile with a hardened penetrator.
"Russia's army is on the verge of collapse, their troops are armed with inferior, defective, useless equipment."
"Russia will invade NATO if Ukraine falls."

Where are the shovels???
Ohh you Russians are still promoting that, huh? Another one of your ships was promoted to submarine from a much smaller country who doesn't have a Navy.
where are the intact passports ?! xD
That missile was not found at an apartment building, if it was hit by a zircon, the whole block would be gone, not a burning apartment. Most lightly the building was hit by a spent air defence missile, this happens a lot, and usually results in minor damage like this. Actual missiles have huge war heads and do massive damage.
It is not a minor damage
Russia - the last bastion of humanity, truth, no-hypocrisy, right sexuality, Orthodoxy and honor!
Looking at previous reports on Ukrainian/Western media there are 2 points I would make ...
1) any time Russia shot a hypersonic missile Ukraine was shouting that they are hitting civilian infrastructure(apartment blocks), but we saw when a Russian missile hit any building half of it was destroyed, or warehouses properly destroyed. and that Ukraine was trying to shoot them down, they failed, and those were falling back on apartment blocks and damaging them. Looking at this apartment block where 1 apartment was hit and the rest only windows broken I doubt it was a Russian missile that left only scratches...
2) Ukraine already advertised the famous Patriot missile system how 90%+ accuracy and efficiency it has, even shooting down a hypersonic missile with a very big PR stunt, so why is everyone and mostly Ukraine worried?
It is clickbait "journalism" and it is not news... Russia have been wasting these horrible expensive missiles on civilian targets for 2 years now. Only difference is that now they are able to shoot some of them if not most down before they reach the targets.
Hey, did they really get the zircon they were talking about last year? I can't remember. 😅 If they did, it's funny why they're so worried now. 😂
It's kinda sad that common people still don't recognize the damage between a cruise missile and SAM. Where did you come across 2S1 btw?
They are worried because Ukraine has a small number of patriot missiles that can only cover a very small part of a very large country.
Also when it comes to the damage, Russia is firing many different kinds of weapons at Ukraine, not just ballistic missiles. including many different size drones.
2 kinzhal were fired all the way from Russia onto kiev and they damaged/destroyed a patriot system. Ukraine claimed to have shot them down before a video was released of the patriot shooting dozens of missiles before being hit twice and that was the last time we heard of that patriot even the US admitted that it was "damaged". No western air defense can shoot a hypersonic, ukraine just spreads lies and bs....
That building looked like it got hit by a suicide drone not a missile whit a 400kg payload lol the windows are still intact and the outside barely has a dent in it
maybe a drone that carried the missile :D
@@benny5299 LOL
@@mxdmta4421 maybe the rocket went through the building
@@TarasZakharchenko Maybe the Ukrainians have spacetime bending technology and simply vanished the missile into a military production warehouse in Kiev?
I'm pretty sure it wasn't the zircon that hit that building.
It probably costs more than the entire appartment block
it probably hit somthing else but Ukraine has to blame Russia for all their expired S300 crashes
or just didnt happen and Ukraine is trying to pull your heartstrings with fear
nobody says that they were aiming there. Probably electronic countermeasures changed the trajectory. Or the rocket was damaged by AA.
@@TarasZakharchenko
That's not the only reason.
There were reports of a Wearhouse that got struck by a zircon.
The kinetic energy alone would've done much more damage to that building.
About a year or two ago , a brahmos (cousin to P800 onyks supersonic cruise missile) was accidentally launched from India to Pakistan. It landed in a field , the kinetic energy alone made a huge crater
@@sidharthcs2110 true, we don't know how it exploded. Surely the damage should be greater if it is direct hit
@@sidharthcs2110there were no such reports
At first you said radar could not track the missile because of its plasma halo, but then you said radar would not be able to detect the missile early because of the curvature of the earth, implying that, except for that curvature, radar can detect and track it. Huh?
The plasma stealth is not new. The US was investigating it back in the late 60’s and early 70’s.
The idea that it cannot be tracked it just nonsense.
It’s a flying shovel? Maybe, a dishwasher?
The damage to the apartment blocks, like the vast majority, are from errant surface to air missiles fired by Ukrainians. It is so common the Ukrainian regime made it illegal to post footage of SAM launches. Some russian missiles have been intercepted and then crashed but they were not intended for civilian objects.
I agree. That's the most likely scenario.
That's what happens when you are desperate and the only missiles you have left are from 1980s USSR, 35+ year old
It may be from AD missiles, but they don't make it illegal to post footage because they don't want people to see the corresponding damage created. They do it because the launch site can be geolocated pretty easily and targeted. Most AD weapons have self destruct built into the missile as well.
So why it is common? Because you are saying so?
@@TarasZakharchenko
I mean... you want to argue, Ukraine isn't trying to shoot down Russian missiles targeting their military infrastructure?

It’s good that people understand that nowadays there’s nothing on TV except bullshit
As I understand, if it would hit a building, it would probably destroyed it, so the damage is most likely for debris, or from air defense rockets, as it was in Poland, or somewhere before.

@@Юрий-т7ф9пWhat people don't understand about Americas hypersonic missile program is that it's taking long because they want multiple versions with different warheads and different sized hypersonic missiles released at once instead of just 1 or 2 new hypersonics. Also it's possible America is working on a faster high hypersonic missile faster than any country today with very long range, multiple mirv warheads that are also glide vehicles with decoys, missile jamming and forced disarming transmission codes to enemy missiles and defenses that will disable anything in the missiles location with stealth and 5g, 6g, 7g+ support and guidance and detection with AI protection and firewall. Also America has a starwars laser missile defense system in orbit that destroy nuclear warheads when they are most vulnerable. Soviet union went bankrupt because of Americas missile satellite defense.

I here Hotpoints are the ticket for hypersonic missiles.
It's almost 100% certain that Russia wouldn't be so generous as to waste such expensive missile on some flat in a lowrise. Another clue is just how limited the damage is. If this building was hit by explosive ordnance traveling at 8-9 times the speed of sound - at the very least - the middle section would have collapsed completely and much of the remaining building would be pulverized. These missiles were designed to sink aircraft carriers!! The very fact that any large enough parts needed to ID the missile SURVIVED ought to be next to impossible. What the damage looks like is either 1. What happens when Ukraine fires an expired S300 missile at a Russian missile, and it lands short of the intended flight path. Or 2. Damage more consistent with Russian or Ukrainian GRAD rocket going astray. The rest - is typical scaremongering, likely based on yet another desperate Ukrainian PR campaign. Try the old "chemical weapons" charge. Worked with Assad huh, you one-trick ponies in Washington? What? It didn't? What a shame. Still, try it again (like Monty Python's19 times before that).
Brits seem to have confirmed with Ukraine that it was the low flying hypersonic missile.
2. Kyiv is at least 500km away from location where it can be hit with ground-2-ground missiles. So Grad can be safely excluded.
You appear to credit Mr. Putin. and Russia by extension, with full rationality. Isn't that going a bit far?
Do you think that a man with a reputed fortune of 200 billion dollars, whose personal interests are blended with those of the Russian tate and the Russian oligarchs, would be a stickler for budgetary restraint? Who knows?
Of course you might be correct, in which cause I find your analysis of the physical facts more persuasive than anything else.
Not that a country should EVER be seen as an extension of a single individual's egomaniacal propensities. That would be grossly unfair to Russians who
display integrity and bravery in the face of oppression.
@@108doublestitches Oh the Brits did? well we must trust them then
If one wants to waste such an expensive prototype on a militarily insignificant, non-naval target which one's experts cannot survey later, nor study damage, ignoring prudence and logic - then I'm sure one can. However, should there be a malfunction during the flight and should your enemies (as consequence) recover the missile mostly intact (the way they recovered Russian unexploded glide bombs), I'm pretty sure that it's something that even the man rumored to be that wealthy would have serious indigestion over.
As far as Putin's rationality - I have few reasons to doubt it. The way he has been acting so far is rather consistent with an old-school politician from the Political Realism standpoint. I may not like his other personality traits, but I won't claim like some other Western media that he has "gone mad" or is prone to flights of fancy. I also doubt that he presides over tactical conventional missile launches or picks types of missiles that will be used personally.
I also have gross doubts that Putin is more important than a country's geography (and in this case-geology) at deciding the direction of Foreign Policy. I'm actually of the opinion that there is an equally good chance that another president in place of Putin would start invasion of Ukraine just the same. Read the current CIA director's book, - does he know a lot of Russian politicians that don't view NATO as existential threat? It may not be fair to Russian individuals and some people's (however wrong) beliefs in Agency or Free Will, but reality is most often - just as mercilessly unfair, - something Milgram experiments demonstrated many times over. @@marcusonesimus3400

Who said that ?
The Ukraine hold the line and tries to ware out the Russian troops.
But without US supply and better far reaching weapon systems it will be unpossible.
Mach 9 melts steel in seconds. It needs ceramic coating. On impact there is so much kinetic energy, you dont need warhead. And they espect us to belive parts of Zicon or Kinzhal were found... Or that building hit by it, was not evaporised, but just had fire. My God.
I don't quite understand, why would it be a severe escalation if they attacked by firing a hypersonic missile? They've already fired multiple hypersonic missiles.
That wasn't hit by zircon. Zircon even without a warhead with that speed would had erased few floors from that building, that's probably a AA missile
I like how Andrew took the claim of Ukrainian officials with pinch of salt, since you can't verify the news, see it as alleged claim. Also, as others pointed out, how could that expensive piece of weapon be used on that build and with very little damage? The whole apartment building would have been collapsed if that missile had hit the building. Good reporting.
No it wouldnt, it depends entirely on the size of the warhead. The speed of the missile dosnt make the explosion worse, speed only effects a projectiles penetration length. the fast your go the further you travel, kinetic energy of the missile adds nothing to the lethality of the warhead unless you timed the penetration and fuse perfectly to blow mid way through the building, but even then it can be done with a conventional missile with a hardened penetrator making the kinetic force of a hypersonic pointless. Overall the kinetic energy of the missile doesnt do anything to its lethality only in how it stops the enemy reacting to it once its detected.
The interceptor missile most likely hit the apartment building from a Ukranian anti-air system, not a cruise missile. This missile can carry up to 700 kg of explosives, which would probably flatten such buildings.
Orc troll so sad
I really don't know what's more astonishing, the incredible levels of cluelessness in this piece, or how VERY proud they are of their "reporting" here. This is why no one with an IQ above room temperature bothers with corporate legacy media anymore and why the cbc in particular is such a complete joke. The best thing about this how they don't even mention sonic booms at all. Do you how incredibly intense a shockwave is formed by an object traveling at MACH EIGHT in the troposphere is? Yet no reports of sonic booms or broken windows all along the hundreds of miles of ground track under the missile's flight path. Yeah that's some top notch reporting there, cbc. Real Pulitzer winning stuff here.

Plus it's enormously expensive for such cheap useless target.
Well Well, I could smell PANIC.
Made me laugh. They are so scared and so paranoid. Imagine having schizophrenics ruling you....that's what living in politically-divided America is like.
Do a metallurgic test on the debris. Like you said hypersonic missiles get toasty, you can't build one out of your standard metal. You should also get the hot ( softened metal ) to distort differently depending on the metal temperature at detonation. Remember most detonations are designed to expand, not heat.
You sound like professional metal missile guy. You at the Skunk Works?
At that speed there isn't much left, it evaporates with the impact
There has been 2 hypersonic kinzhal missiles caught by smart phone enroute in Ukraine. They definitively exist.
That’s is a Urkainian air defense missile. A Russian cruise missile would’ve a much greater damage.
Funny, they trying to claim it was not even cruise missile but HYPERSONIC! LOL! Hypersonic missile that Russia used previously to destroy an underground nuclear bunker at 100meters under ground near Lviv !!!
The Ukraine defense ministry admitted they have never been able to shoot down a hypersonic missile and they have every air defense system in nato
The damage show at the beginning is minuscule, most probably caused by air defense, a cruise misile like a kalibir or tomahawk would have collapsed that part of the building, a zircon, khinzal or sink would have collapsed the entire block,.. Already failing at the start of the video... how to take serious the rest will be hard.
it could go through the building and explode, or it may be hit by AA and leftover parts of it could hit the building
the markins are not laser made, it's electric pencil gravings ...
Is it practical to build fleets of aircraft cariers, they are very expensive and huge targets with a massive red circle on them for these types of missiles.
Doesn't matter how fast it goes. If you can track it, you can shoot it down.
He calls that apartment building damage frightening? Maybe to people ignorant of the destructive power of modern weaponry I guess.
Only as a test: Since the crater was small, only kinetic force was used; there was no explosive.
How do you know it was a test? Did Pisskov tell you?
You have a great point didn't think if that, given damage area was minimum.
And they risk the undamaged parts of the mussile to be collected? I dont think so.
Lol
Russia is light years ahead of USA in missile development
The US has been experimenting with hypersonic engines for 30 years now. There is a reason you don’t know about what the US has and why it’s now used in combat, because you can’t turn at Mach 8. It’s not a precise weapon.
They were reported to have used Kinzhal missles long ago in the war. Kinzhal is a hypersonic also, of a different variety.
Kinzhal isn't really a hypersonic missile. It can go 'hypersonic' speed, but so could the V1 rockets in WW2. A true hypersonic missile can manouver at those speeds. It's really just a ballistic missile launched from a plane.
@@AnP865 Kinzhal performs evasive manoeuvres before terminating at the target. Patriot cannot shoot it down. Pure fantasy. No proof supplied by Ukrainians.
@@AnP865 V1 never went hypersonic. Kinzhal apparently does manouver, like the variant of Iskander missile that it was developed from.
We are not dumb to believe that is a missile hit
Looks like they are only making a story
I feel sad for the collateral damage
So at that speed, does the plasma make it magnietic?
@@danross395 Същото е и с металите..
Air defense is only in targeted areas anyway, no one can defend every square inch of land
Actually there's a fourth question: why a civilian target instead of capital or military targets?
Seems very unlogical wasteful use for seemingly an impressive missile like that.
High value targets would make more sense.
it's common for russian to target civilian objects, they've been doing it since the full invasion
There is a fair chance that it missed it's target, possibly by a wide distance. A lot of Russian equipment doesn't perform as well as Russian generals/politicians would have others believe.
@@heartborne123 doing so with these rockets doesn't make sense. Hi value targets makes more sense. Not civilian buildings. Unless he really has a lot of them. Which I doubt.
@@devilaces plausible reason. I did forget about that.
@@heartborne123 I know that. Only unlogical with a missile of this kind. Abstract warfare is useful but has to make more sense than this.
If that residential building was hit by a Zirkon missile it would look very different. How do you expect people to take your videos seriously, if you start it with misleading propaganda?
There is clear pattern of fragmental damage visible at 0:10 on the building which indicates the damage was most likely caused by a failed air defense missile. Besides Russia surely wouldn't waste a Zirkon missile which comes with a $10 million price tag to strike a random residential building in Ukraine.
"a team of Ukrainian forensics experts" 🤣🤣 said it was a Zircon missile.there you go ,case closed people
Nothing is impossible to shoot down but the fact Russia can't even tell where it's going does make it difficult LOL
How do you shoot down lazers?
@@thimblemunch24 By blowing up the laser... Like you, that's pretty fkn simple lol
@@ec6052 Good luck...
Why the question mark? The inferior US has no defense against any hypersonics (which they can't make😂😂😂)
Those hypersonic missiles are kind of inefficient against civilian building unless they are nuclear armed. Against ships I doubt they can be guided toward a moving target. If they are envelopped in plasma and radar can not detect them they also are radar blind to guided themselve to their moving target. They must be using inertial guidance. The precision is in the order of hundreds of meters. A conventionnal warhead will be of limited stategic value. That plasma trail can be detected by a low orbit infrared detector and track info transmitted to aerial defenses. To give a prediction of the possible target an then a shotgun type defense (multiple launch) could take care of the end of run manoeuvring. Over all right now these hypersonics are used as terror weapons.
You have to admit that the impact characteristics and damage to buildings are clearly not due to explosion, but rather to debris impact.
hitting a residential building with minor damage looks more like a mistake than a self-guided missile
Did you see the tucker and putin in an interview recently?
Ive seen the tucker with a pootin recently, but there hasnt been anything like an interview at all☝️
did you watch the complete putin interview anyone?? bouggy man story
*the "interview"
Ukrainians are well known to fire missiles on their own buildings as well as shutting down the fighter jets they were given (F-16).
According to Jean-Pierre Petit, the father of hypersonic theory, a Kinzhal missile cannot be intercepted by anybody. Russia has such an advance in this technology that he said it would need 1000 scientists working full time for 30 years to reach Russian's hypersonic mastery.
Excellent presentation.
He didn't over feed information to show how intelligent he is.
Clear, precise, and straight to the point
Well done, sir
If a brick hits the building with hypersonic speed, it will cause more damage, it cannot be a hypersonic missile.
Easy to defend against Zircon missiles. Have peace talks arrogant Ukraine
It all began when Putin said we have to talk in 2008. Couldn't the US and EU have sat down with Russia for talks? Was talking that difficult?😮
US and NATO wants to dominate. They do not want equal fair terms with Russia. They need Russia weak and sumbissive like in 90's in order to pump its precisous resources at dirt cheap or preferably for free.
Why do you make it sound like Russia is attacking peaceful buildings? That's the work of air defence.
Западные новости: Дилетанты рассказывают невежам про сверхсекретную ракету, о которой не имеют никакого понятия.
Sounds like a low flying terrain navigating missile when a little to low and couldn't pull up before impact.
Often russians have old elevation maps and those maps did not reflect new tall buildings, sometimes that was a cause of hits into civilian buildings. Not the case however. The building looks 30ish years old. Here rocket could go through the building and explode or just some electronic countermeasures worked, or firmware bug.
The presenter misled us by saying that the house was hit by a hypersonic missile. the damage to the house is more like a fire, rather than a missile strike with 400kg of TNT. The damage caused by the explosion of 400kg of TNT is completely different.
You should be talking of Kinzhal that has been used over and over again. I don't think Russia hides it's missiles and has used Zircon in Ukraine.
As far as I remember, Russia used Zircon against a Ukrainian bunker in which Ukrainian long-range missiles were stored at the beginning of the war.
1: that building wasn't shot down by a Zirkon Missile.
2: If the building would be hit by a Zirkon It would totally demolished the entire building block.
3: at hioersonic speed, all parts would practically be melted.
4: the building shows signs of being hit by an air defense missile, high explosive fragmentations warhead. Not a penetration (probably a solid titanium one) high explosive.
Clearly typical american media dragging out the show when its quite evident the damage is way too small for hypersonic. This guy is just talking nonsense.
Ukraine will never show the destruction by the missile, instead they are showing random damaged buildings from drones.
Absolute rubbish, it was not a hypersonic missile strike, lol.
