Ever hear of the Russian Dagger?

It is a hypersonic missile that has likely hastened the end of the war in Ukraine. A few weeks ago Russia used one to take out a Ukrainian bunker near Kiev. The bunker was full of high ranking Ukrainian and NATO officials who thought being 400 feet underground encased in concrete they were safe. Sadly for them they are now safely dead. The missile took out the bunker and killed between 2 to 3 hundred people. A few days later Zelinski was talking to China about brokering a peace deal. For some reason he was not in the bunker.

But only as effective as the conscript firing it.
The couldn’t beat the Finns, they won’t beat the Ukrainians.

@Morvoren You really are out to lunch of current events. Kind of funny actually. So riddle me this Batman. Why is Ukraine now asking China to negotiate a peace treaty with Russia over the objections of NATO/US?

@hippyjoe1955 The Chinese are the only people the Russians listen to. It’s a sensible move.

Perhaps you could tip the advantage in Moscow’s favour by volunteering. I’m sure we’ll all miss you terribly…

@Morvoren So in other words Ukraine is losing and losing badly. The winner of a fight is not likely to call for a truce. Why would he. He is winning the fight. The loser will call for a truce before he gets killed but not the winner. Your logic is lacking.

@hippyjoe1955 Loosing a war the Russians won’t acknowledge as a war even though it’s passed it’s anniversary? Loosing a war that has forced its “superpower” to rely on conscription and threats of nukes to win? Keep tugging yourself, Putin fanboy.

@Morvoren So you haven't been keeping up with the information available. YAWN!!!! Yes Russia is decimating the Ukrainian army. It is sitting back as the Ukrainians send truck load after truckload of boys to the front who soon realize they are about to be killed without ever seeing the enemy. Russian artillery and missiles are destroying Ukrainian armements before they can even be deployed.
@Morvoren Yep, turns out that plain ol' US patriot missiles are shooting down most of Russia's "hypersonic" Dagger missiles. Turns out the vaunted Dagger is 90% hype.

@ElwoodBlues So says Ukraine.The evidence denies that fact. What took out the American supplied Patriot missile defense system the other night? Even the US says it was damaged. If all the missiles were shot down how did the Patriot system get destroyed? You truly are incapable of examining evidence. It is amazing.

What evidence??
Oh, right, evidence, that's your kryptonite, isn't it, [b]LOL!!![/b]

@ElwoodBlues The evidence of the US admitting that its patriot missile system was damaged/destroyed. That 1.! BILLION dollar piece of equipment that is now useless thanks to a Russian Dagger. Do you even read the news?
@hippyjoe1955 What evidence??
Oh, right, evidence, that's your kryptonite, isn't it, LOL!!!

@ElwoodBlues So you can't run Google. Try typing in Patriot missile damaged. I did and the first three articles CNN, Reuters, Al Jazeera all said that the patriot system was 'likely'' damaged. So you can't run a search engine. How interesting. You and research are complete strangers.
@hippyjoe1955 You claim [quote]None of the Daggers have been shot down.[/quote]
What evidence do you have for this claim??
Oh, right, evidence, that's your kryptonite, isn't it, [b]LOL!!![/b]

You claim
[quote] Yes Russia is decimating the Ukrainian army.[/quote]
What evidence do you have for this outlandish claim??
Oh, right, evidence, that's your kryptonite, isn't it, [b]LOL!!![/b]

You claimed Bakhmut had fallen. Truth is:
[quote]KYIV, May 12 (Reuters) - Moscow acknowledged on Friday that its forces had fallen back north of Ukraine's battlefield city of Bakhmut after a new Ukrainian offensive, in a retreat that the head of Russia's Wagner private army called a rout.

The setback for Russia, which follows similar reports of Ukrainian advances south of the city, suggests a coordinated push by Kyiv to encircle Russian forces in Bakhmut, Moscow's main objective for months during the war's bloodiest fighting.[/quote]

@ElwoodBlues Did you google as I suggested? Of course not. You and evidence are complete strangers. You remind me of Hitler and his imaginary forces defeating the Allied forces. Too funny!
