Some more things to think about: Russia used an experimental/not yet in production medium/intermediate range ballistic missile we didn’t know a lot about yet. We absolutely had ISR platforms in the area & would have gotten a great deal of performance data on this missile, the SS-X-31.

We now likely know what re-entry vehicles it can carry. We now know its relative accuracy with those RV’s. We know it can effectively use MIRVs. We know its approximate or perhaps have a close idea of its exact throw weight. We know its signatures in boost, apogee & terminal stages now.

That’s a lot of intelligence. I don’t think the use of this weapon made the point the Russians wanted to make, & they volunteered a treasure of information.

Consider this: those RVs used are also used on other strategic missiles that DO carry nuclear warheads. The RV body is the delivery vehicle, the warhead is the cargo. Now we have an even better idea of the exact accuracy of that RV body design/type & thus information on other strategic systems- notably Russian ICBMs with nuclear MIRV payloads that use that particular RV body design.

Trans people are the most violent & murder prone demographic in America.

The Dept of Justice statistics prove it.

These mayors & governors threatening to ‘resist’ the deportation program think its still 2017.

Its not. We will put their asses in prison for violating federal law. And we will do it without a second thought faster than they can blink.

Think I’m bluffing?

The Left are violent, deviant, perverted thugs. Rapists. Pedophiles. Murderers.

I stand with Nancy Mace. She’s fighting for what is right & she is paying an incredible price for it.

I’ve seen people criticize her b/c she fought to be the first female at the all male Citadel academy.

Listen, i hear what you’re saying about that. But that doesn’t negate what she’s doing right now.

She’s fighting for your daughters & grand daughters. Your sisters. Your wives. Your moms.

She’s fighting to keep some sexual deviant pervert guy in a dress from walking in their bathroom & raping them.

Understand what the priorities are & get on board.

SO MANY people need to go to fucking prison for this….

To clarify, a MIRV payload is a group of warheads that use re-entry vehicles that can separately target independent individual targets. One missile, six MIRVs equals six different aimpoints.

MIRV is an acronym, standing for Multiple Independently-targeted Re-entry Vehicle.

For those curious about how ballistic missiles with MIRV payloads work, here’s an excellent animated simulation of a USAF Minuteman III ICBM flight, launch to impact.

All ballistic missiles & MIRV payloads work this way.

This second video demonstrates a multi-MIRV payload deployment from a Ballistic missile in addition to penetration aids (decoys).

For reference, this photo shows the MIRV bus of a Peacekeeper ICBM, loaded with a full compliment of MIRVs each containing a W-87 warhead w/ nominal yield of 300 kilotons, though with orally jacket the yield is boosted to 475 kilotons per warhead/RV.

Though the Peacekeeper missiles were all destroyed under strategic arms treaties, the W-87 is still in service with the USAF. All current US & Russian ICBMs & SLBMs are capable of similar MIRV loadings.

The United States does not currently have any Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles like the Russian SS-X-31 used on Ukraine w inert MIRVs in service at this time.

Terminoloy- for reference:
ICBM- Intercontinental Ballistic Missile
SLBM- Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile
IRBM- Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile

NOTE: most SLBMs are of Intercontinental range & are capable of multiple MIRV payloads.

IRBMs are shorter range missiles than the others listed & typically have a smaller ‘throw weight’ payload capacity than the larger strategic missiles, & bridge the gap carrying a dual strategic or tactical role.
