I love the fact the missile was originally developed by Russia
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kh-35And then the ukrainians took it for continued enhancement and in-house development to put it on trucks. And they were supposed to have a deadline to release this missile for usage in April. And no one believed they were able to do it.
I got the following LRPD which triggered this thought process:
Chinese Bookmarks of DOOM!
As I was looking into the missile, I was thinking of the Chinese silkworm, at least that's what I think it was called that when Iran was using to threaten the US ships off their coast. It worked. We got the f*** out of there.
This missile is nothing compared to the silkworm. So this means those Russian ships have to stay very far away because they are totally incapable of defending against ancient crap. Their supposed aircraft carrier has been called a floating smoking pile of trash. Where is that right now and what the hell would happen if the ukrainians took that out?
There are multiple countries that have access to satellite intelligence that knows where everything is. The question is what are they sharing with the ukrainians who then get to launch the missile?
This war might set Russia back a hundred years. It just took them back 20 as far as economy and ability to do anything with the rest of the world. They won't be let back in until Vlad is gone. They will be a starving third world country who can't feed their people and it will be very cold. And even then their military will be nothing. This is a cause for revolution.
I have to say I was totally wrong in my original posts concerning how this war would go. I'm thankful for that. I'm still sure that there will come a moment of absolute horror when Vlad realizes he's losing and losing might include his own personal position, which in turn will lead to some incredible escalation. Not necessarily just in the Ukraine. Just because he's going to say f*** it on the way out.
