UK-supplied Storm Shadow is reported to have hit Putin’s bunker Nov 20, 2024

Ukraine may have used British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles to target a Russian presidential facility in the Kursk region today, according to emerging reports. The missiles, which have a reputation for precision and long-range capability, are said to have struck a building with an underground command center where key Russian and possibly North Korean military officials were stationed.

Early indications, including debris found at the site, suggest that the missiles used were indeed the British-made Storm Shadows, rather than their French counterparts, the SCALP missiles.

A Western official confirmed that this marks the first time Ukraine has used Storm Shadow missiles to strike deep into Russian territory, a move that follows the U.S. granting Ukraine access to long-range ATACMS missiles just days earlier. According to Russian reports, as many as 12 missiles were launched into the Kursk region on Wednesday, hitting the target with devastating precision.

Clash Report, citing local sources, revealed that the target was likely a high-security facility, believed to house the command post of Russian forces in the region. The structure is reportedly a sunken bunker used by the Russian leadership, with claims that it also serves as a base of operations for North Korean commanders. This underground facility, located near the village of Marino, has long been rumored to host vital military operations for both nations.

Earlier, Bulgarian Military.com had reported that missile fragments, marked with the “Storm Shadow” insignia, were found near the village of Marino, situated on the E38 highway in Kursk. A photograph shared on social media by Clash Report confirmed the discovery, with a piece of debris clearly stamped with the Storm Shadow name. This evidence supports the claims that Ukraine is now actively using these sophisticated weapons to target critical Russian infrastructure on their home soil.

"This is a new weapon": details of the morning ICBM strike on the Yuzhmash plant have emerged today



Statements by the press service of the Ukrainian Air Force about applying This morning, the attack on the Yuzhmash plant in Dnepropetrovsk by an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in a non-nuclear design seems to be confirmed. Experts, having analyzed the video of the landings on the enterprise, came to the conclusion that the missile carried six warheads with six charges in each. At the same time, there is a possibility that the charges themselves were "blank", that is, they did not carry explosives.

Experts point out that several days ago, State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin warned that the Russian Federation could begin using new weapons, previously unused, in response to the US allowing Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory.

As military experts suggest, it is possible that in order to strengthen the striking power of non-strategic missile forces, our military industry developed a medium- or intercontinental-range missile capable of delivering up to five tons of explosives to a given target. Possibly, for wider coverage, a separating warhead with several charges inside each was used.

Let us recall that this morning there were reports of an unusually powerful explosion at a Ukrainian military-industrial complex facility in Dnepropetrovsk. Now, as reported, chaos reigns at the landing site and a large number of ambulances are observed.

Let us add that the Russian Ministry of Defense is refraining from commenting on this matter for now. The head of the Kremlin press service, Dmitry Peskov, referred the question about the alleged launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile by the Russian Federation to the Ministry of Defense.

Mercenaries From France Shoot Civilians in Selidovo in DPR - Eyewitness 3 hours ago

SELIDOVO (Sputnik) - French mercenaries shot civilians in the city of Selidovo in the Donetsk People's Republic before retreating from the settlement, a local resident told Sputnik on Thursday.

On October 29, the Russian Defense Ministry said that it had taken control of Selidovo, which is located 40 kilometers (24.9 miles) northwest of Donetsk and is of great strategic importance.

"When Ukraine withdrew, it entered houses, knocked out apartment doors, shot civilians who were there. A man was left alone, barricaded the door, they could not break it down. And so he heard French speech, and on the radio they answered in Ukrainian 'the tasks are completed, there is no time, we are moving on.' That is, they had the task of shooting civilians. The French were shooting, there were Ukrainians and French. And the answer was received on the radio in Ukrainian," the eyewitness said.

"Russia will respond to strikes in kind": Putin announced the use of the new Hypersonic Medium-range Ballistic Missile system against Ukraine

Russian military used the latest medium-range Hypersonic Kreshnik Missile system to strike targets in Ukraine. This was stated by Vladimir Putin in his address.

On November 21, the Russian Armed Forces struck a military-industrial facility in Dnepropetrovsk, the Yuzhmash plant, with a ballistic missile rocket in a non-nuclear hypersonic version. The latest medium-range missile system "Oreshnik" was used for the strike, the target was successfully hit. The use of "Oreshnik" was a response to the US plans to produce and deploy medium- and shorter-range missiles.

Speaking about the new complex, the Russian leader emphasized that the existing missile defense systems, including the American ones, are not capable of intercepting the Hypersonic Medium-range Ballistic Missile. The missiles of the complex attack targets at a speed of 2-3 km per second. At the same time, Russia will warn civilians in advance in the event of the use of systems such as the Oreshnik.

Putin commented on the strikes on Russia by American and British missiles, the conflict has become global, Western long-range weapons have been used on Russian territory weapon.

Russia considers itself entitled to use its weapons against those countries that allow their weapons to be used for attacks on Russian territory.

Russia will respond decisively and in kind to the escalation. Russia prefers peaceful means, but is also ready for any development of events, "there will always be a response,"

- the president added.

Touching on the deployment of medium- and short-range missile systems, Putin added that this would depend on the West's actions. If the US starts deploying them, Russia will do the same.

This post might be more relevant to the Turmoil in GB thread but maybe everyone based in the EU and Western countries should ask themselves the same question right now.

What brasses me off most of all is that our governments have been playing chicken with our lives instead of running their countries properly and fulfilling their electoral promises. Yet even now, when we're poised on the brink of WW3 and relying on Russia to turn the other cheek while they escalate hostilities, most of our fellow countrymen remain woefully unaware of the implication.

Can UNITED KINGDOM Survive A Nuclear War?

(23:04)
In this video, we explore the terrifying question: Could Britain survive a nuclear war? As global nuclear tensions rise, we analyze whether the U.K. could endure the catastrophic impact of nuclear strikes. We dive deep into the history of Britain’s nuclear preparedness, from Cold War survival plans to the devastating power of hydrogen bombs. Learn how Britain’s defenses, both past and present, stack up against the reality of modern nuclear warfare, and whether the U.K. could survive such an apocalyptic event.

Amazing that we now have to consider these scenarios as a possibility. A few weeks ago I listened to a rather detailed report on what such an attack would mean for Hamburg Germany. I have yet to see one for the New York metropolitan area - I hate to think which one of us is the most likely target, but in an all out nuclear war, it is probably all of us.

Russia has unveiled a new weapon system as a warning to Ukraine and the West.
Russia has apparently launched a single RS-26 Rubezh road mobile missile against a target in Dnipro, Ukraine (Dnipropetrovsk).
According to Ukrainian authorities, the missile struck an unnamed industrial enterprise.
Dnipro is home to the Pivdenmash (former Yuzhmash) missile production facility.
Analysis of imagery of the attack indicates the RS-26 carried six independent warheads, each in turn deploying several submunitions.
This warhead package is exclusively for conventional attack.
Russia had not been previously assessed to outfit the RS-26 with a warhead of this design.
By unveiling the conventionally armed RS-26, Russia is changing the qualitative nature of the conflict, something promised by President Vladimir Putin.
Ukraine and its Western allies must now evaluate the destructive potential of this weapon, and understand that Russia can deliver this warhead to any target in Ukraine or Europe knowing there is no defense against it.
The RS-26 is produced in Votkinsk. It is assessed that the production of the RS-26, which was halted in 2017, was resumed this past summer. With production rates estimated at 6-8 missiles per month, Russia could have accumulated an arsenal of between 30-40 RS-26 missiles. Although described as an intercontinental ballistic missile, the RS-26’s range actually depends on the warhead package. If armed with a single warhead, it can exceed the 5,000 kilometer threshold used to differentiate between intermediate and intercontinental range missiles. The RS-26 did not go into serial production because of this ambiguity; at the time, Russia was a signatory to the INF treaty, which prohibited intermediate range missiles.
It is assessed that the six warhead conventional warhead package used against Dnipro would have made the RS-26 used fall into the intermediate range for classification.
Donald Trump withdrew from the INF treaty in 2019.
If the United States had remained in the treaty, this version of the RS-26 would not have been available for use by Russia.


Correction: The missile used by Russia was not the RS-26, but rather a previously unknown medium range missile known as the Orezhnik (Hazel).

A medium range missile is generally characterized as having a range of between 1,000 and 3,000 kilometers.

The range from Kapustin Yar to Dnipro is around 800 kilometers.

Vladimir Putin indicated that this missile could be used to strike targets throughout Europe.

Not much is known about the Orezhnik.

However, the Ukrainian government has reported that an RS-26 had been observed at Kapustin Yar prior to the launch, implying that they had access to satellite imagery.

As such, one can speculate that the Orezhnik physically resembles the RS-26, meaning that it uses a six-axle mobile launcher and is fired from a launch canister mounted on the launcher.

If this is the case, the Orezhnik may be a modification of the Rubezh, implying that it is a product of the Nadiradzhe/Votkinsk missile production team.

However, everything is speculation pending more definitive information.

US officials described the Orezhnik as an “experimental” system, implying that they were aware of its existence.

‼️🇷🇺🚀🇺🇦 Moscow flaunts its Doom’s Day weapon in action.

The RS-26 Rubezh ballistic missile was reportedly launched from the Kapustin Yar test site in Astrakhan Oblast.

The flight time to the target located about 800 kilometers away is estimated to be less than 5 minutes. The speed of the combat units at the final stage of the flight was about 5-7 kilometers per second.

The RS-26 Rubezh is a ballistic missile of medium range, which is normally designed to carry nuclear warhead. It was developed by the Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering as part of the Avangard program. It was created on the basis of the RS-24 Yars. Information about this mobile missile system, like its rocket, is completely classified.

The RS-26 reportedly has a starting weight of about 40-50 tons and is capable of delivering 4 separate combat units at a distance of 2,000 to 6,000 kilometers. Its warhead is three times larger than the Iskander’s warhead. Accordingly, it is much more powerful.

It has an advanced protection against the missile defense system and reportedly four individual thermonuclear warheads with a capacity of 150-300 kilotons each. No foreign air defense system is reportedly able to intercept it.

The Rubezh missile is aimed at carrying out nuclear strikes but in apparently in today’s attack the combat units were equipped with metal blanks. The published footage drom Dnipro shows the kinetic effect of the use of such ammunition. It is possible that the rocket was equipped with a Avangard-R hypersonic glider.

The footage also shows that the launched rocket had 6 combat units with 6 warheads in each. It is possible that the Russian military used its secret RS-27 or Yars missiles of the same type.

The exact number of missiles of this type in service with the Russian military is secret. According to open sources, the #Russian Federation possesses at least 200 RS-26 Rubezh and PC-24 Yars missiles, which is more thab enough to deal series of devastating blows on its enemies. #Ukraine

‼️🇺🇦🇷🇺The West is massively denying that Ukraine was attacked by an intercontinental ballistic missile.
▪️Following NBC, CBS, ABC and BBC wrote about this. They cite Western officials.
▪️They claim that the strike was carried out by a medium-range ballistic missile, not an intercontinental one.
▪️The Air Force and Zelensky announced the launch of an ICBM. Moscow does not comment.

I was born too late to live through the 60s and 70s Cold War stuff but to everyone who lived through it - did it feel anything like this current moment? I have butterflies in my stomach and I can't tell if I'm just being dramatic.

Not sure about "the current moment", but the climate of those times was such that the possibility of nuclear war was taken VERY seriously — by the media, both governments, and the entire populace. The overriding unquestioned view was that you just didn't mess with that.

That generation truly understood the issues. Now, we no longer seem to.

Nuclear war films and documentaries were shown frequently then, the UK's unforgettable and traumatic The War Game and (even more so) Threads making the US's The Day After look like a kindergarten party. (Threads might be the most terrible thing ever to have been shown on film. Many viewers reported having nightmares for literally weeks on end.)

None of these kinds of docudrama are being aired now. My only guess at why is that the media platforms judge that the viewers might not be that interested.

Posted by Bill Ryan (here)
Over an hour in now, and I do HIGHLY recommend this.

Some more movie references. Very relevant and not at all trivial, as the themes are well-thought out and instructive (and extremely well-produced and acted, too.)

• Fail Safe (both versions, 1964 and 2000), about a nuclear strike against Moscow caused by a system error.
• Crimson Tide (1995), about a mutiny on a US nuclear submarine over whether or not to launch missiles against Russia after a malfunction leaves the launch order ambiguous.
• The Sum of All Fears (2002), about a rogue nuke suitcase bomb that the US has assumed Russia is responsible for.
• The War Game (1966) and Threads (1984), considered by many as the two most terrifying and realistic docudramas ever made.

• I watched: "The Day After" Movie at school in 1984 when I was 18 years old, I remember it had a huge impact on me and my other classmates:

• If I am correct:

When someone says: "Radius of 9 Kilometers aka 5.6 Miles" you have to double that size that makes it 18 km/11.2 Miles and that is just 1 point to another point on a 2D map!

What you see in the video below is not "just 1 point to another point on the map" but "squared"! >>> 18 Km squared is alt least an impact of 324 Km/201 Miles area! >>> not counting the aftermath of the surrounding area outside the zone of impact!... Aftermath like: the enormous shockwave & super heat wave affecting 40 Km/24.85 Miles squared and the radiation fall out of contaminated particles coming down, making a huge area at least 100Km/62 Miles squared unlivable for centuries!

And that was a Russian made weapon, ready for use in 1961 ... 63 years ago! ... Let that sink in for a moment!

Parental Pain - a documentary (2024)

I haven't watched this yet and is certain to be moving I'll try and get to this over the weekend. Here's the description:

---

Stories of difficult fates: the premiere screening of the film "Parental Pain" was held at the National Center "Russia" (English subtitles)

The National Center showed a documentary film telling the tragic stories of families whose children suffered as a result of military action.

The documentary was filmed based on materials from the Parliamentary Commission for the Investigation of Criminal Acts against Minors by the Kiev Regime.

“Our mission is to tell in the words of those who have not been heard what really happened,”

- - said Deputy Chairperson of the State Duma of the Russian Federation and Co-Chair of the Parliamentary Commission Anna Kuznetsova.

The film "Parental Pain" is intended to draw public attention to the problem of protecting the rights of children who have become victims of criminal actions by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"It was very difficult to make this film, but each time we found some internal resources in ourselves, because we need to talk about it. After all, today the worst crime is indifference to what is happening there. There are no other people's children, there is no other people's grief, and only together can we overcome this,"

- emphasized the deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, journalist and author of the film Marina Kim.
