Results of the use of the Oreshnik missile system in Dnepropetrovsk

AP also had a handful of stills from other areas damaged and they all looked similar as well. I wonder if we will ever find out how deep they went into the ground.

I’d like to hear the analytical data myself.

ROFL. looked like an alien weapon. Funny #, RT. No one is wondering what it was but the clueless people. It was clearly run of the mill MRVs.

Not saying anything about that as I do agree it is quite a powerful thing. What I was correcting is that it didnt turn the target into dust or any of that wild stuff. It was basically 36 approximately 250kg metal chunks hitting the ground at mach jesus...while powerful the building was still standing and people were on the roof putting out fires around big holes where the warheads hit.

Ummm...a kinetic penetrator... is designed to penetrate several stories beneath the ground and there cause the destruction...that's why you don't see much damage on the surface...those missiles were designed to destroy the subsurface areas of that installation...the below ground laboratories...manufacturing facilities...and storage facilities...

That's what received the business end of those missiles...they were never meant to cause widespread destruction on the surface...

FFS mate.

If Russia has any super dooper weapons etc what on earth do you think the US has up their sleeve that most of us know nothing about.
The USA is decades in advance of Russia.

Almost three years down the line, 700,000 casualties and still not achieved Putin's original goals.

Stop all the Kremlin fuelled propaganda and get real.

I completely understand that and even mention in the post at the top of this page I wonder how far underground they managed to get. All I was disputing is the OP claim that it turned the target to "dust" as if it was some massive asteroid impact or actual nuclear warhead. I am very clear on how the physics of a tungsten filled warhead going mach jesus hitting a solid object works. In all reality it could just as easily have over penetrated and dumped its energy under the target. Depends how deep it was buried and the materials involved I guess. Imagine if those first waves were explosive warheads and the subsequent ones were penetrators...

Is there any evidence that there actually was anything built deep underground at this site?

Today photos from Dnepropetrovsk appeared after the use of Oreshnik. A funnel at the site of workshops No. 7 and 8.

Is there a source for that photo?

That pic is more like what Moscow will look like when The Polish Army occupies Moscow after over running Belarus. 😁

Did find this? From 2023.

I would be surprised if Ukraine would release any photos of damage to a military facility so unless RT can provide a verified source I'm inclined to be a bit skeptical.

There is a tradition in the world. Once a century, the great powers gather for negotiations and divide Poland. There have already been 2 partitions, and soon there will be a third one))))

and where???
You want to give us another fake? There is no photo of this in the article, you are lying.

a reply to: RussianTroll

There's a tradition here on ATS, too. Provide sources for claims.

a reply to: RussianTroll

Oh, so you are going to invade Poland, now?

Article 5, old son.

Even on it's own, without NATO, Poland has a much more formidable military than Ukraine.

We have a saying, "don't bite off more than you can chew".

At the moment, you have too much on your plate as it is.

a reply to: RussianTroll

how about a link to the image you posted, if your not lying, a verifiable news sources that's not a propaganda site or from a russian propaganda mill.

Can anyone make out what the writing is in RT's photo?

In the continuing absence of any source.

Well, well. I found this photo of a much smaller crater:
