One question I haven’t seen an answer to yet: if this thing had been loaded with the maximum available warheads, although they presumably wouldn’t have detonated, how large an area would have been contaminated with how much radioactive material from their rapid unscheduled disassembly? The Russian nuclear arsenal may be a bigger threat to the Russians than the people they want to attack, even without taking the possibility of wind blowing fallout from a successful strike back into Russia into account. Not that Putin cares.

Huh, and Boeing wasn’t involved, you say?

Russia going to run all of this high end shot into the ground even more due to funding shortages.

Maintaining that tempo ain’t cheap money or people wise. At some point state and society starts seeing consequences first hand.

Good.
