Would be trading an enemy they are defeating for a very powerful enemy on their border. Putin made it pretty clear they're part of the global south now and they aren't going back. Not to mention all the stuff they buy from China.
TIL I'm not the only one that puts carrots in chili.
Russians getting their mojo back with that missile strike.
Probably feels good after west saying Russia is just a gas station and they don't have paved roads.
anecdotally I'm seeing a few people say they decided not to re-enlist because of grenade drop videos
36 warheads is terrifying. Some pics are starting to show up and the individual damage doesn't seem that bad. If each one was a thermo nuke Dnipro would be wiped off the map.
Do we have anymore info on the Oreshnik missile? I counted about 18 distinct hits by counting the flashes on the ground which is a lot more than wikipedia mentions for MIRVs. I'm seeing a few people speculate that the missiles might have been empty and relied on the kinetic energy for damage. Out of curiosity I tried to calculate what that would be but gave up since there were too many unknowns involved. I hate to give up on a calculation once I start so for some resolution I decided to calculate how much KE if you fired elon musk into the ground at mach 20. Wikipedia says non-relativistic KE is 1/2 m x (v)^2 and I assumed musk weighs 90kg so at mach 20 (6860m/s) and 90kg I converted to lb's of TNT. Using elon musk as a hypersonic missile would be = 1102.31 lb's of TNT.

Cinia, the Finnish state operator of the 1,200km C-Lion1 fibre optic cable between Helsinki in Finland and Rostock in Germany, said it had been cut early on Monday morning in the Baltic Sea close to Sweden and was almost certainly the result of an “external force”.
wait..... wut?
