May I offer a suggestion for terms to be used so we’re all on the same accurate page. Instead of “dummy bomb/weapon” let’s call it by the more accurate phrase “non-explosive kinetic weapon.” A “dummy weapon” is used for training purposes and could do no more damage than having it dropped on your foot by accident. A “non-explosive kinetic weapon” is a very serious weapon that gets its destructive power from exploiting the energy in its mass times its velocity (Mach 10+). Oreshnik is clearly a very serious weapon and not a dummy weapon used for training purposes.

Good suggestion.

Remarks by Putin yesterday on the subject were quite interesting.

Yeah, that’s not a “dummy” anything.
