Lavrov, on why Macron gets a response when he calls Moscow:
"Putin is a polite man and a far-sighted politician." He never gives up on dialogue in favour of "conjunctural instincts,"
What are hypersonic weapons, anyway?
So there has been some discussion about hypersonic weapons and what they are, with some pundits pointing out that any ballistic missile is hypersonic so hypersonics are nothing new, right?
Actually, when we speak of hypersonic weapons today, we aren't talking about traditional ballistic missiles, which have been around since the 1940s. We are speaking in fact of classes of weapons which have only very recently been deployed. Let's briefly look at the nomenclature for the sake of clarity:
1. Hypersonic cruise missile
- A surface-launched missile, which remains in the Earth's atmosphere for its entire hypersonic flight. It may ascend to stratospheric altitude during its flight, or it may fly at low level. There is only one surface-launched hypersonic cruise missile in current service worldwide, and that is Russia's scramjet-powered 3M22 Zircon.
2. Aeroballistic hypersonic missile
- An air-launched missile, which after separation from its launching aircraft, rises into a ballistic trajectory which may or may not leave Earth's atmosphere. Examples of such missiles are the Russian Kh-47M2 Kinzhal, the Kh-22/32. There exist aeroballistic missiles made by other countries however none are true hypersonic weapons, and none have more than a small fraction of the payload of the above-mentioned Russian systems.
3. Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV)
- A system where a ballistic missile releases a MaRV (Maneuverable Reentry Vehicle), which does not follow a pure ballistic trajectory once it exits the atmosphere. Instead, the MaRV uses both rocket motors and aerodynamic forces to follow an unpredictable flight path at the very edge of the upper atmosphere.
HGVs have the following advantages: a) much greater range for a given size of booster - as its name suggests, the HGV "glides" on top of the atmosphere using a sustainer rocket, maintaining altitude without losing speed. This allows the missile to use a much flatter and more efficient trajectory. b) Less time to target - the flatter trajectory simply means less distance to travel, therefore less time is spent compared to the unpowered exoatmospheric coasting phase of traditional ballistic missiles. c) Better survivability - The flight path of HGVs, in particular their ability to maneuver into and out of space, makes them extremely difficult to target using even the most sophisticated exoatmospheric ABMs such as the US THAAD, Israeli Arrow-2, or Russian S-400/500. This is because these systems were designed to release an exoatmospheric kill vehicle which engages passive, non-maneuverable targets coasting on a predictable, computable ballistic trajectory in space. The flight envelope of current generation exoatmospheric kill vehicles does not allow them to reliably engage HGVs.
The only country in the world which has proven stockpiles of HGV weapons, is the Islamic Republic of Iran, which fields missiles with HGV MaRVs such as the Kheybar Shekan.
So - I hope that clears things up a bit!

🇷🇺💥🇺🇦 Russia's massive attacks on the TCC may continue throughout the country, - Ukrainian Ground Forces
➖"The main goal of the Russians is to disrupt mobilization. Such attacks are part of a broader campaign that includes mining and attempted terrorist attacks," said V. Sarantsev, spokesman for the Ukrainian Army Ground Forces Command.
▪️Over the past week, there have been attacks on TCCs in Kryvyi Rih, Poltava, and today in Kremenchuk.

The discussion with Western countries about Ukraine's NATO membership has become "very toxic" for Kiev, according to Georgy Tikhy, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry.
@Slavyangrad | Grigori ⚰️
Exactly correct, except for the omission of the Russian stockpiles of HGVs, which are abundant enough to be used in multiple types of munitions and not to be segregated into a separate class…
…Other than the fact that nearly every sufficiently-ranged missile reaches hypersonic speeds, purely as a function of physics.
Merely achieving hypersonic speed does not make the respective missile a “hypersonic weapon.”

🗣 The main points from Putin's statements during the forum "Everything for Victory!":
▪All of Russia has become a single united Popular Front.
▪Putin called the main goal the safe and peaceful future of Russia, "for the sake of this, the men are fighting at the front".
▪The hearts of all Russians are with the men on the front line and with their loved ones.
▪Russian drones have burned over 2 billion dollars worth of enemy equipment.
▪ Russians are assembling equipment in their garages that is better than what professionals in other NATO countries are doing.
▪Putin called the deceased Major General Gudkov a real Russian officer.
▪Putin announced the popular public support of the fighters of the SMO, with the public raising more than 54 billion rubles in donations.
▪ Western governments that are sending weapons to Ukraine should consider what they are spending their people's money on.
▪The more the West pursue the current anti-Russian policy, the worse life will be for them.
▪The Russians together are a tremendous indestructible power in their rightness and unity.

According to the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, fraudsters are renting Russian bank cards from citizens under the pretext of cryptocurrency transactions.
The ministry reminds citizens that if they provide access to their personal payment details, their accounts may be blocked, and they may face criminal charges, including imprisonment.

What in the effing world? EVERY sufficiently-ranged ballistic missile is hypersonic.
What differentiates “true” hypersonic from “by default” hypersonic is the ability to of the warhead to maneuver at hypersonic speeds after its apex, on the approach to the target.
I sorely need to do a “likbez”—elimination of ignorance. Stay tuned.

⚡️ Preliminary reports indicate that something exploded at TPP-6 in northern Kiev. The Dnepr district of Kiev is without power.

☢️The Turks write that Kiev concealed a serious malfunction at the South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant, which could have caused a nuclear disaster. Moreover, the malfunction was caused by gross violations of operating conditions.
The incident was not mentioned in any of the IAEA reports. At the same time, it is stated that the Ukrainian side made every effort to circumvent the existing control mechanisms.
The South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant is located in the Nikolaev region, near the city of Pivdennoukrayinsk. The plant was commissioned back in 1985. All three units have already reached the end of their service life, but their operation has been extended until the 2030s. The construction of the fourth unit was never completed.
The main question is what exactly Ukrainian nuclear workers were doing at the facility that nearly destroyed it. This is not an idle question.

The UK Maritime Authority reported an incident southwest of Al Hudaydah, Yemen.
A ship was attacked by several small boats, which fired small arms and propelled grenades.
Clashes between the two parties are still ongoing.

Kharkov Oblast • Kupiansk Combat Agglomeration
The Russian Ministry of Defense, ahead of all military insiders, announced today that it had captured the settlements of Moskovka and Sobolevka. My information from 1TA about the breakthrough in the encirclement of Kupyansk was already available yesterday, but no one expected it to happen so quickly and so deep.
At the moment, there is no communication with the area, but I hope they have secured their positions and are pulling reserves to the bridgehead.
