hris,

Why are you not on Gab?

It is true free speech, warts and all.

See post from Gab founder here.

Setup for a false flag.

Same crap as the covid psy-op. “Release secret data” via “conspiracy theorists” and provide enough “churn” through paid disinformation agents while, publicly, denying it, until “it” happens (really, our own government), and then use it as a pretext for public support for heinous government freedom grabs.

A kg of TNT has about 4.2 MJ to release. The same kg of anything at Mach 10 has 5.9 MJ kinetic energy. The individual sub-munitions are probably about 100 kg each. So like a 250-pound bomb, denotating in the lowest basement of whatever it strikes.

While KE itself is what it is, you absolutely have to account for the terminal ballistics of the projectiles though. If you’ve done any long range shooting or nerding out on finding the optimal projectiles for big game hunting, then there’s some distinct familiarities with these hypersonic ballistic projectiles (the MIRVs) in terms of creating the maximum wound channel. If not, watch some videos shooting into ballistic gel to see the terminal energy effects for different projectiles / bullets.

Just as you can shoot two very different shaped projectiles of the same weight, caliber, and even materials at the same velocity (i.e., same KE) and the terminal ballistics can be drastically different, depending on the geometry (meplat, nose, ogive, shank, whatever). A blunt nose (GL drag model projectile) will be very different than a ULD (G7 drag model) projectile.

The MIRVs were likely some kind of exotic tungsten alloy, shaped as such that gave them an extraordinarily high ballistic coefficient (BC), but even if they were shaped like a traditional nuclear MIRV warhead with a flat base and conical shape, they could very well optimize the projectile geometry to inflict the most carnage. In this case, they apparently pulverized a wide and deep area surrounding the point of impact.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if these MIRVs were shot with a secondary propellant / charge like an actual bullet or rocket as they closed in on target during the terminal phase. Almost like a big shot of NOS as they closed in already doing mach whatever. Leave it to the Russians to figure something like that out.

My guess on the weight was about the same, roughly 100Kg per MIRV, but KE would be increased substantially if they were heavier (even 1KG goes a long way towards increasing KE and terminal performance).
