Alex Krainer: Russia's Hypersonic Weapons Change Everything; The US Has No Defense Against Them

Russia Can Sink ALL of Our Aircraft Carriers, All At Once. Russia Also Has the Poseidon Torpedo in Development.

Foreword From Doug

As our intellectuals-yet-idiots, who populate the US government, NATO and our Defense Dept continue to poke, poke, poke the Russian bear, Russia is miles ahead of the US in developing and manufacturing working Hypersonic missiles that, against which, The West has no defense. And it’s not the only doomsday weapon that Russia has.

From an article “Russian Navy takes delivery of the 'doomsday' submarine, and it's the world's largest”

Russia's largest shipbuilder, has confirmed that it has delivered the Belgorod, the world's largest submarine, to the Russian Navy, CNN reported.

The design of the Belgorod is based on the Oscar II-class submarines that Russia uses for guided-missile submarines. At 608 feet (184 m), the Belgorod dwarfs the U.S. Navy's Ohio-class submarines that are about 569 feet (171 m) long.

Experts believe the largest submarine in the world has been specifically designed to carry the largest torpedo in the world, the Poseidon. 

The Poseidon is expected to be 20-30 times the size of a conventional torpedo and possess the capability to sneak past coastal defenses by traveling along the sea floor for hundreds of miles.

The Poseidon is expected to be capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, to "inundate U.S. coastal cities with radioactive tsunamis" CNN quoted Christopher A. Ford when he was the assistant secretary of state for international security and non-proliferation in 2020. The 'doomsday' submarine Belgorod could end up carrying six or even up to eight such torpedos when they are ready in 2027 [Doug here: I’m sure it’s a national priority for Russia to advance this schedule]. 

From Alex Krainer at Substack: About Russia’s hypersonic weapons

Alex posted an interview with Croatian Admiral Davorin Domazet (retired) who has deep and detailed command of technical matters, but also correctly labelled humanity’s enemy as the “western occult oligarchy,” and has even called the war in Ukraine as the clash between Christ and anti-Christ, underlining that the anti-Christ is in the west. [I agree]

It was in 2018 that Vladimir Putin took the stage to present Russia's new hypersonic weapons. The term "hypersonic" refers to missiles that fly at speeds of 5 mach and higher. Russia’s hypersonic missles travel at 12 to 15 Mach. At the time, many in the west dismissed Putin's claims and thought it was a bluff. We now know that he wasn't bluffing. Russia is the only country in the world that has deployment-ready hypersonic missiles - not one but three types: Zircons, Kinzhals and Avantguards. 

Domazet explained why these weapons are radical game changers in warfare….Since World War 2, it’s been the air-force. Aircraft carrier strike groups have been an irresistible force wherever they travelled, dominating the seas ever since. But hypersonic precision missiles have rendered that force obsolete overnight.

The main military front in today's global conflict, according to Domazet, are the Anti-Ballistic (ABM) batteries which the US has set up on the Poland-Romania axis…snip….However, today's ABM systems are only effective against missiles flying at speeds up to mach 3.5 (3.5 x the speed of sound).

The Kinzhal turns mighty aircraft carrier strike groups into sitting ducks

Russia's new Kinzhal missile flies at speeds of mach 12 to mach 15 and nothing in western defensive arsenals can stop its strike. During the war in Ukraine, Russia staged a stunning demonstration of its power. The first Kinzhal strike, delivered one month after the beginning of hostilities in Ukraine, was perhaps the most significant: Russian forces targeted a large weapons depot in Ukraine which had been built during the Soviet times to withstand a nuclear strike. It was buried 170 meters (over 500 ft) underground and protected by several layers of armored concrete.

The Kinzhal flies at altitudes of between 20 and 40 km, with a maximum range of 2,000 km. When above target, it dives perpendicularly and accelerates to 15 mach, generating enormous kinetic energy in addition to its explosive payload. That first strike with a single Kinzhal missile destroyed Ukraine's nuke-proof underground weapons depot. This was a message for the west. 

Moscow Calling: We Can Sink ALL Your Carriers

The Kinzhal was developed with the express purpose of destroying aircraft carrier strike groups. If it could destroy a warehouse built to withstand a nuclear strike, it can cut through an aircraft carrier like a hot knife through butter.

According to Admiral Domazet, neither the western powers nor China are anywhere near having weapons like that. He explained that the critical issue with hypersonic weapons are the extreme temperatures reached during hypersonic flights on the surface of missiles, which can cause them to break apart mid-flight. Russia is the only nation that has developed special materials that enable the missiles to withstand this stress, so their flight can be controlled throughout its trajectory and delivered with pinpoint accuracy.

Western intelligence estimated that Russia had some 50 Kinzhals at the start of the war in Ukraine, and thus far it has used only 9 of them. Last week, they fired six Kinzhals in a single salvo. That too, was a message. Here’s how Domazet explained it: United States have 11 aircraft carrier strike groups. Of these, fewer than half will be active at any one time (while others are in dock for maintenance, or in preparation). Firing six Kinzhals in one go is military-speak for, “we have the capability to sink ALL of your aircraft carriers at once.”

Russia will run out of ammunitions any minute now, (experts say)…

Russia has the capacity to build about 200 Kinzhals per year and now has means of delivering Kinzhal and Zircon missiles anywhere from aircraft, ships and submarines. In addition to destroying aircraft carriers, they can also destroy NATOs ABM missile sites. In a nutshell, Russia is now a clear winner of the 21st century arms race.

It could take the western powers 10 years or longer to catch up and until then, the only way to avoid losing the war is to either concede defeat and accept Russia's security demands, or to escalate the conflict to nuclear exchange.

A conservative estimate suggests that at least a billion people would perish in such a conflict and nobody would win. Who would do such a thing? The idea of using nuclear weapons is, in fact, so repugnant that we can be assured that our leaders will never chose the path of escalation. Surely, nobody’s that evil, right? Are they?

Afterword by Doug

The US is setting itself up for a decisive military defeat if it pushes toward hot war with Russia, which, in all reality, has already started. Remember, the US hasn’t won a single war since WWII. See my post from Mike Whitney at UNZ Review: The USSA Is About To Suffer ANOTHER Huge Military Defeat and US Empire Losing Another War

My biggest concern with our current militarist, neocon regime is their complete idiocy and lack of any sense of reality. And don’t expect these Neocons to be dislodged from power through elections either. I think that’s finished. That means that the US is finished.

I believe the US will create a false flag attack to blame on the Russians in time for the 2024 election. That strategy has a history of working as intended, which is to rally people behind their Neocons.

This is setting up for a doomsday conflict with Russia, say by 2025, which would be perfectly in alignment with Deagal.com prediction of a 70% population decline for the entire EU and USA.
