There is No Defense to Hypersonic Missiles & Russia’s Plans to Expand

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

Russia announced yesterday that it will increase its military strength from 1 million to 1.5 million. The Western Press keeps putting out the propaganda that that this is all because Russia has lost momentum and many soldiers in Ukraine. I reported before that sources from Ukraine, not Russia, put the death toll at over 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers. That was also in the draft speech of the head of the EU, but it was removed to keep up the image that Ukraine is winning.

What is not being said here is that Poland has been instructed by the US to increase its military from 100,000 to 250,000 making it the largest force in NATO. It is only a 14-hour drive from Warsaw to Moscow. This in addition to NATO’s plans to incorporate Finland and Sweden, has also played a role in this decision.

The Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu declared that the country needs a force of 1.5 million “to guarantee the fulfillment of tasks to ensure Russia’s security.” China has about 2 million and the USA has about 1.4 million. North Korea has 1,280,000 active with another 600,000 in reserve. Belarus has an army of only 62,000 with 344,750 in reserve.

Currently in Russia, the regular draft, calls up 120,000 to 140,000 men twice a year for a one-year tour of compulsory service. What is becoming very obvious is that the West wants war. There is no desire for peace whatsoever. This has changed the game. The Western Press keeps just putting out propaganda about Ukraine winning, while it is ignoring the mobilization of NATO which is clearly anticipating war. This is not going to be just about Ukraine as we head into 2023. You have to be blind not to see that the West is clearly preparing for war. This is what Russia is now responding to. With Poland raising its army to 250,000, that presents a serious threat to Russia for the exceeds the active personnel in Belarus.

On top of all of this, Putin has wisely instructed that they should be studying how the weapons the US has been handing Ukraine and to regard these as valuable lessons to be learned during the fighting to modernize the armed forces. Thus, Ukraine has been an experiment to study the weapons systems of one’s opponent on both sides.

Putin also made it clear that Russia will start to deploy more hypersonic weapons, noting that the first warship equipped with state-of-the-art Zircon hypersonic missiles will be commissioned by the navy next month. There is no question that defense against Russia’s hypersonic weapons is not something that may be possible. Russia has been using some hypersonic missiles in Ukraine. It is believed among our sources that this may have been more to intimidate NATO and the United States. Obviously, the conventional wisdom has been that there is just no effective defense against hypersonic weapons. Hence, their use has been to intimidate the USA and NATO, but this does not seem to have succeeded.

The USA is exploring how to defend itself against hypersonic missiles. One theory is the exploration of “boundary layer phenomenology,” which is the idea that disrupting the airflow surrounding a hypersonic projectile may throw it off course. Disrupting the airflow may send it off course, but it will still hit something. The other hope is to deploy lower-flying networked satellites in an effort to establish a continuous targeting track of an approaching hypersonic weapon.

The reason there is no defense is that a hypersonic projectile will travel much too fast to track them because it will move from one radar aperture to another, making it virtually impossible to establish a consistent targeting track or lock.

Meanwhile, our brilliant world leaders are playing with everyone’s life all because they prefer war rather than reform whereby they might lose power.

this war is a khazarian jewish war. the khazarians are psychopaths and will not accept anything short of total victory even if it leads them to total defeat. looking for rationality among these hypercunts is a fool’s errand.

Jews! Jews! Jews! We know you’re an arab troll. Biden’s not a Jew, not one of the Euro leaders is a Jew and Zelinskyy is a con man and a terrible comic with a somewhat Jewish background; if he were really Jewish, the Ukrainians would never have permitted him to be in a leadership position in the first place.
Go back to Mahmoud Abbas, kiss his ring, and stop trying to use this blog to spread your filth about Jews.
This whole war is about the godless Euro leaders (and Biden’s boyos) trying to take over Russia to rape its resources. Zelinskyy’s just going to wind up like Epstein within two years, just as soon as he loses his usefulness as a figurehead.

…the Khazarian Jews are Globalists and Bankers, it’s their war, their agenda…they aren’t Jews. You should be more incensed over the fact that centuries ago the criminal border land of Khazaria chose to call themselves Jews, it is they who have given the Jews the reputation without the DNA. BTW…Zionist is just a term to describe anyone who worships corporate America.

I am a Jew, actually a first-degree Mischling, but that’s of no interest, though it does give me a totally different view of the problem. I don’t think you’d appreciate it were I to substitute the word Christian everywhere you employed the word Jew; I know I wouldn’t. Tony would appreciate it far less were I to substitute the word Islamist, so I won’t.
Try using, rather than Khazarian (and trying to involve Jews), the acronym WEF (and their asskissers), which is what we’re talking about – unless you’re afraid they’ll come after you.

I’m neither Christian nor Jew. Every time I read someone blaming the Jews for something, it reminds of certain American Blacks who blame Whitey for their failed culture. Tony needs to find another scapegoat.

And, yet, Zelinskyy told US at the very start that Ukraine was going to be just a larger israel … which is, basically, a hole in our National pocketbook where we throw untold amounts of money — and where our military sends our newest and best weapons (as required by laws that we pass every year) — and where our own military forces go to die for a cause that has no benefit to We The People Of The United States.

To be very kind (though I’m not quite sure what kind), you’re either another “Islamist” like Tony or you truly have not the slightest idea of either history or current affairs. Please stop getting your information from the NY Times/WaPo and stop listening to/watching CNN/MSNBC; if you haven’t figured it out, they’re just Joe Biden’s alternate orifices.

If Zelenskyy were fully Jewish, he’d probably be a better comic.

BTW, Great article. We’ve been (medially – coining? a new word) inundated/overwhelmed with the usual DOD propaganda (someone please try to find a polite word to replace bullshit) trying to get support for the coming war and and the re-imposition of the draft (which I don’t consider to be a “bad” thing in any case).
Meanwhile the “intelligensia” are all marching to the Pied Piper’s tune. It won’t be all that long before even the New York Times will be pushing “Civic Duty” to sign up for the “War against the Terrible/Disgusting Russians murdering all those Innocent Ukrainian Children!!”
Wait and Watch.

Just remember that Putin asked for peace and was rebuffed. If Putin pushes into other countries it will be a feint to give the Chinese time to open a second front…and probably a third front from Mexico and Canada. I think it’s time to give some serious thought to what comes next…unless Vlad can neutralize D.C. we’re in for some hard years.

Vladimir Vladimirovich just would like the Ukraine (or at least the eastern parts of it that have been Russia, linguistically and geographically), the western part, as he’s always said, to provide a buffer against ingress by the western powers (although I agree, he might consider giving Ingria back to Finland).

Our leaders reaction to the use of hypersonics reminds me of the Jayhawker Capt. Red Legs in “The Outlaw Josey Wales.” When Wales gets out his sniper rifle Red Legs makes a comment of how they aren’t really in danger except for maybe a few of the guys at the front of the boat. WE are the guys in the front-of course!

I’ve read a couple of articles that attribute the downfall of the Soviet Union to Reagan’s escalation of the arms race, which bankrupted the Soviet Union. I have to wonder if Putin is using the same tactic against Biden. We are going bankrupt paying for, among too many other things, the war in Ukraine. The worst part is that Biden and his handlers are complacently allowing this to happen. It seems that the bureaucracy in US is so fixed on putting Putin and Russia under their boot, they can’t even see how this could tear apart both the US and NATO. We are living in sad times.

The worst part is I don’t think anybody’s terribly certain exactly where this money’s going, we’e all got guesses (some better than others), but no decent accounting. And where’s Joe shipping our oil to – and who’s getting paid.
