We have known that the Russian's had developed hypersonic cruise missiles and our satellites can now detect their use, so why use them in Ukraine? One reason is to insure that we can not knock them down before reaching their targets, which makes some sense. The other might be that they are running out of their normal cruise missiles. The later seems to also make sense as Russia is having to ask China for military hardware. Hypersonic cruise missiles cost at least a third more than regular cruise missiles and in our country about 2.5 million dollars apiece. So which do you think is the reason or are both involved?
Shock and awe. "Conventional" missiles would be as much or more cost effective, $/dead, IMO.

It could be nothing more than world testing.We have known that the Russian's had developed hypersonic cruise missiles and our satellites can now detect their use, so why use them in Ukraine?

We should send him a nice thank you note for sending us all that data to analyze.One hypothesis I've read is that they are running really low on their regular supply of guided missiles. That makes sense to me, but I'd add that at some point, all militaries desire to test their latest and greatest weapons in an actual conflict, and this is probably another motive behind their use in this theater. They have the added value of intimidating NATO forces, and people living in NATO countries.
Much of what Putin is doing now in leveling Ukrainian cities isn't just for the Ukrainians, but also for audiences in NATO countries. He wants not only to break the will of Ukrainian resistance but also the will of civilians in NATO democracies to get fully behind their support of NATO. To that end, I don't think Putin's nuclear and hypersonic bluster is going to succeed, but it will certainly make leaders of NATO think very carefully about how they want to proceed in dealing with Putin's regime.
Russia's showing what it's newest toy can do and it gives Putzin the opportunity to flip Biden the bird because he knows Biden is too fracking spineless to give Ukraine the big stuff they need to frag the invading Russians once and for all.We have known that the Russian's had developed hypersonic cruise missiles and our satellites can now detect their use, so why use them in Ukraine?

Dam good WAG comrade...I suspect it's because due to our & NATO military technology & armament flooding the Ukraine,
the Ukrainian air defense is fairly robust.
But, that's simply a WAG on my part!
if we can see it...We should send him a nice thank you note for sending us all that data to analyze.
Cultist Gotta Cult...Russia's showing what it's newest toy can do and it gives Putzin the opportunity to flip Biden the bird because he knows Biden is too fracking spineless to give Ukraine the big stuff they need to frag the invading Russians once and for all.
I'd be interested to hear your detailed plan on just how to get that done. Sounds good on paper.all the above .........
I think the USA news people should not be broadcasting our plans coming out of Capitol Hill...........
Putin needs to be kidnapped and held for ransom .........meanwhile a team from all countries work together to disable the Russian nuke weapons system
Putin is killing innocent men women and children by the thousands...Cultist Gotta Cult...
I did not know that licking Putin's ass crack was contagious...
it looks like the rePukes are all cathing it from the dotard donnie...
-peace's of shit... traitorous sick limp dick weak ass coward mother****ers...
God Bless America
Actually it does. The military feels that the cost of the hypersonic missiles is not worth the extra it provides. We are building them and have them available, but will mostly use the old type missiles. The hypersonic missiles are mostly used with nukes, conventional use is really not warranted considering their cost.USA does not know how to build hypersonic missiles. Hilarious
I didn't say anything Putzin was doing was "kinda cool". I don't support anything that psycho is doing.Putin is killing innocent men women and children by the thousands...
some think that bastard flipping the bird to the POTUS in kinda cool...
okay...
puttie pie should have used that money to better train and provision for his troops...Actually it does. The military feels that the cost of the hypersonic missiles is not worth the extra it provides.

weakI didn't say anything Putzin was doing was "kinda cool". I don't support anything that psycho is doing.
I'm just saying he's firing off his hypersonic missiles and flipping Biden the bird because he can get away with it, knowing that Biden won't do a thing to him.
And The Alabama hasputtie pie should have used that money to better train and provision for his troops...
and more so for his people...
back on the Hypersonic bo ha ha;
Not a sub or Navy man but I do know this...
If the Alabama (an Ohio Class sub) pop the cork on one of its twenty-four Trident II submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) which can be fired from underwater to strike at targets more than seven thousand miles away depending on the load.
As a Trident II reenters the atmosphere at speeds of up to Mach 24,
This is what puttie and xi understand; never mind the remedial bullshit...
- it splits into up to eight independent reentry vehicles,
- each with a 100- or 475-kiloton nuclear warhead. In short,
- a full salvo from an Ohio-class submarine
- —which can be launched in less than one minute
- —could unleash up to 192 nuclear warheads to wipe twenty-four cities off the map.
This is a nightmarish weapon of the apocalypse.

I suspect that it's far deeper than that.Russia's showing what it's newest toy can do and it gives Putzin the opportunity to flip Biden the bird because he knows Biden is too fracking spineless to give Ukraine the big stuff they need to frag the invading Russians once and for all.
