Drago Bosnic \u2013 Global Research Sept 13, 2024<\/strong><\/h1>\n

As the entire US-led political West continues to lag decades<\/a> behind Russia in hypersonic weapons<\/a>, it keeps using various coping mechanisms to \u201cexplain\u201d the gap. <\/em><\/p>\n

This ranges from rather pathetic claims that Moscow \u201cstole American hypersonic technologies\u201d<\/a> (they must\u2019ve all been stored on a single hard drive that was snatched by the SVR over 40 years ago and the US hasn\u2019t recovered ever since) to the laughable \u201cneed for perfectionism in the minds of American engineers\u201d<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n

And while Washington DC is \u201cperfecting\u201d technologies it doesn\u2019t have (remember, because the evil Russians stole them), the Kremlin is putting its very real hypersonic weapons to good use<\/a>. Continuing months of unprecedented kill streaks with its long-range strike systems, Russia just obliterated hundreds of NATO personnel in Ukraine, forcing the world\u2019s most vile racketeering cartel<\/a> to send dozens of aircraft to Poland and Romania.<\/em><\/p>\n

These are used to collect the casualties and send them off to their home countries<\/a>. Numerous reports indicate there are hundreds of dead and wounded<\/a>. The NATO personnel were stationed in Poltava and Lvov. The Kiev regime tried hiding and downplaying these losses, insisting that \u201c50 people were killed\u201d and that a \u201cneighboring hospital was also struck\u201d. Citing local sources, the New York Times reported<\/a> that the \u201cmissiles struck with an unforgiving quickness: The Ukrainian Defense Ministry reported that the gap between the sounding of warning sirens and the strike was so short that many people were killed on their way to shelter\u201d. Interestingly, the label \u201cpeople\u201d is often used to conceal the fact that these were NATO personnel. It\u2019s also unclear where the Kiev regime\u2019s air defenses were, otherwise fabled for their \u201c50,000% interception rates\u201d<\/a> of Russian missiles, drones and other long-range precision strike weapons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, even the mainstream propaganda machine had to admit that the Kremlin targeted military assets<\/a>. However, they still tried hiding the fact these were NATO personnel, calling them \u201ccadets of the Poltava Institute of Military Communications in what marks a first in terms of targeting such a large gathering of soon to be commissioned officers\u201d. Kiev keeps pushing a sob story about \u201cclasses and teaching underway at the military academy\u201d when two 9M723 hypersonic missiles used by the \u201cIskander-M\u201d struck. Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko<\/strong> lamented<\/a> that \u201cthe cadets\u201d had only two minutes to leave the building, saying that it\u2019s impossible to escape from \u201cthe sixth floor of some building and you need to run downstairs\u201d. I\u2019ve already covered the topic<\/a> of just how little time a group of soldiers would have to leave a building after a hypersonic weapon such as the 3M22 \u201cZircon\u201d is fired.<\/p>\n

Some sources are claiming the missile strike wiped out at least 700 troops, nearly all of whom were specialists<\/a> in ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) and EW (electronic warfare). Reports indicate<\/a>\u00a0that many of the neutralized NATO personnel were Swedes, sent to train Ukrainian personnel to use the Saab 340 AEW&C (Airborne Early Warning & Control) aircraft, two of which were promised by Stockholm and are supposed to be delivered in the near future.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billstrom<\/strong> resigned<\/a> in the immediate aftermath of the strike and announced that he\u2019s retiring from politics<\/a>. The two events aren\u2019t necessarily related, but the timing is quite peculiar. However, that wasn\u2019t the end of NATO\u2019s troubles in Ukraine, as Russian hypersonic weapons continued raining down on other military targets in the country, particularly those with high concentration of foreign troops.<\/p>\n

Namely, another Russian long-range precision strike targeted Lvov in Western Ukraine. The city is the capital of the homonymous oblast (region). A lot of critical military facilities are located in the area, including the infamous Yavoriv training camp, notorious for accommodating various Neo-Nazi units and foreign mercenaries<\/a>, as well as NATO personnel.<\/p>\n

The Russian military reported<\/a> that the 9-A-7660 \u201cKinzhal\u201d missile systems armed with the 9-S-7760 air-launched hypersonic missiles were used in the strike. Poland said it scrambled fighter jets<\/a> because the area is quite close to its border. According to Reuters, \u201cPolish and allied aircraft were scrambled for the third time in eight days to closely monitor the inbound projectiles, and were ready to intercept them in the event the missiles approached Polish airspace\u201d. However, there\u2019s nothing they could really do against hypersonic missiles.<\/p>\n

Back in May, Moscow also used its hypersonic weapons to wipe out NATO personnel in Yavoriv<\/a>, less than 15 km from the Polish border. The strike came right after speculation that the so-called \u201cno-fly zone\u201d (NFZ) could be established over Western Ukraine. For quite some time, Warsaw has been demanding that NATO starts shooting down Russian missiles. However, such proposals have been rejected repeatedly, as the world\u2019s most vile racketeering cartel doesn\u2019t have the backbone to fight Moscow directly<\/a> and is doing so only through proxies, be it terrorists and extremists (including Islamic radicals)<\/a> or entities such as the Neo-Nazi junta<\/a>. Despite desperate attempts to portray it otherwise<\/a>, NATO simply doesn\u2019t have the means to intercept Russian hypersonic weapons. In the meantime, Moscow continues to obliterate overhyped Western-made systems all across NATO-occupied Ukraine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This includes the now regular hunt for platforms such as the HIMARS and M270\/MARS<\/a>, as well as dozens of long-range strikes on all sorts of high-priority targets. Since late July, when I made a list of reports about the latest strikes (at the time)<\/a>, there have been numerous other attacks, destroying hundreds of NATO-sourced assets.<\/p>\n

This includes strikes reported by Daily Journal<\/a> and Military Watch Magazine, both on July 26<\/a>. The MWM covered another one on July 28<\/a>, as well as several more in August (here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>), while the South Front has been the most diligent in reporting about this in the last month or so, providing video evidence for around a dozen strikes (here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>). Numerous other sources also reported on similar strikes (here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>), which includes almost exclusively those with video evidence.<\/p>\n
