A propos the potential of a missile with no explosive payload at all, here is a photograph of the crater left by a Sarmat ICBM with no explosive payload. Look closely.
Energy = half mass times velocity squared. So one of these arriving at, say, Mach 12 has 144 times the energy of the same object at Mach 1.
MARVellous, eh?
Anyone who urges escalation at this point should be prosecuted for high treason against the human species. The penalty should be death.
The real danger we face is that now the Biden Administration is in danger of prosecution just as Netenyahu and Zelenski regimes are. This leaves them all in a desperate situation, and are litterally willing to do anything to avoid being held accountable for their crimes. Desperate people take desperate actions.
The message this missle brought to the west is its ability to penetrate deep into the earth. This demonstration eliminates any chance that the leadership of any nation attacking Russia will be able to ride out the nuclear exchange underground in their deep bunkers. The combination of mach 10 impact and a nuclear explosion would collapse any reinforced structure even hundreds of feet underground.
