So why did I call the new Russian Oreshnik missile a 'game changer'?
There are several reasons.
For one the missile with its 36 kinetic war heads is an unexpected
response to the U.S. abolition of the Intermediate Range Nuclear Force
(INF) treaty. The U.S. had hoped that the stationing of nuclear
missiles in Europe might give it an advantage over Russia.
Oreshnik denies that advantage WITHOUT resorting to nuclear force....

is a good explanation about what's goin' down in the Donbass these days...
Of course these new kinetics pale in effect compared to a nickel-iron
asteroid cranked to a visible fraction of C and aimed at an enemy
continent.
But hey, mebbe that's already bin done too ;)
