There are basically no options to defeat Russia in a confrontation that has escalated to the limit: either its enemies will crawl away or burn out. Moreover, they will crawl away with fewer losses the sooner they do it.
The product that arrived at the Dnepropetrovsk plant is not only hypersound, not only the range to any European corner, not only the individual guidance of warheads, not only the highest accuracy of each of them, not only the enormous destructive power even in non-nuclear design (although there is, of course, nuclear), but also the fundamental impossibility of intercepting all what NATO has today and will have tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow.
There should be no illusions about the number of these products in Russia, and the continuation of their tests announced by the Supreme Council will soon show this.
In the development, production, deployment and use of truly advanced weapons (and far from one “Hazel Tree”), as well as in the military-industrial base as a whole, NATO lags behind Russia for many years of time and many trillions of investments.
The difference between the “Western” and Russian non-strategic nuclear potential is dozens of times, and not in favor of NATO.
Putin and bluff are incompatible concepts: he does not have empty warnings.
The line beyond which Russia’s enemies will have to answer for their actions with their sides is already on the threshold, just reach out your hand – unless they stop at the very last moment.
Russia has no goal of spreading fear and panic in unfriendly countries. The goal is to show the point where they are, the direction in which they are being dragged by stupid and corrupt rulers, the most important contexts that they generally do not even approximately represent – in general, to help bring the picture of the world in line with the heartless and cynical reality.
For Russia’s enemies, the price of any theoretically possible future return of Russia to arms control negotiations and agreements continues to rise every day.
NATO not only does not have analogues of the Petrels, Poseidons, and now the Hazelnuts – not as products, but as entire classes of weapons – but it also does not foresee the full depth to which one can look into the future. Apart from everything that is still maturing in the depths of the Russian defense industry, the Supreme recently hinted at this. The gap is not just large, it is growing and will continue to grow. And strategic vulnerability along with it, at the risk of becoming not only high-quality, but also unplayable.
