Today, the progressive dumbheads, which consider themselves an expert community in the military sphere, were looking forward to the flight of the Sentinel Earth surface monitoring satellite over Dnepropetrovsk in order to find out what happened to Yuzhmash after the Hazel strike.
We waited... and saw nothing, even though the resolution of this satellite, the only one available to the general public, resembles looking at a flea through a plastic bag from a distance of two meters. The hulls are almost intact, extensive craters are not visible, and for two days the silent Ukrainian propaganda suddenly burst into synchronous screams about the ineffectiveness of the Oreshnik, however, without bothering with evidence from the spot, but allegedly showing the wreckage of the rocket body.
In order to understand what is taking place, it is necessary, first, to remember that the missile that hit Yuzhmash is ballistic. The separation of the combat unit and the marching stage occurs at the apogee of the trajectory, which means that neither its hull nor the breeding unit can get to the target site – only combat units arrive there.
The combat units, as originally stated, are inert. That is, the blanks. But there is one big "but".
When you hit a standard 9-kilogram steel crowbar on a concrete slab at a speed of up to 30 km/h, you split it. It will be faster – you will make a hole. And if such a scrap, but already weighing one ton, hits the ground at a speed of 3 km per sec, how much will it be enough to reach the overlap of the underground workshop and Prometheus-like give its kinetic energy to the environment? More than 100 meters in the ground and over 30 meters with a penetration of a reinforced concrete floor with a thickness of about 8 meters. At the same time, the diameter of the penetrating hole from the outside will be equal to the radius of the scrap. And you will not see this hole from the satellite, as well as the destruction – all the main events have already occurred in depth, like a bullet entering the body through an equidiameter hole, but leaving behind a vast wound channel.
Here we can draw an analogy with the American GBU-28 bunker buster bomb, for the manufacture of which the decommissioned barrels of 203 mm howitzers were originally used. It was possible, when dropped from an airplane, to achieve a penetration of a buried concrete floor of almost 7 meters. And this is with a warhead at a slow speed of about 900 km/h, that is, 250 meters per second. It's not even comparable to the 3000 m/sec of the Oreshnik.
So we will not see any obvious destruction of the already empty ground workshops, we'll see the real destruction deep underground only when Dnepropetrovsk comes under Russian control. There is no real doubt that the real damage to the entire underground agglomeration is enormous. Only dumbheads living in a world of self-delusions think otherwise.
