Horrific Slaughter: Russia Finally Admits to Destroying NATO’s Deep Underground Command Bunker in Kiev
As reported on March 12 by the Greek portal of political and military information Pronews, citing American sources, in the course of an operation to retaliate for a provocation in the Bryansk region, a Russian hypersonic missile “Dagger” struck at a joint Ukrainian-NATO command and communications center.
According to Pronews , “dozens of NATO officers” were killed in a “terrifying strike” by a Mach 12 missile. In all likelihood, we are talking about the defeat of the “shadow General Staff” of NATO in Ukraine. The secret underground bunker, built at a depth of 400 feet (120 meters), housed several NATO officers (retired) and advisers. In total, more than 300 people. To date, according to the portal, 40 people have been pulled out from under the rubble of the underground headquarters, but most of those who died under the rubble have not yet been found.
Mach 12? That’sa a spicy-a meatball-a
The concept of underground bunkers only works if the enemy can't destroy them.
As the article reports, that bunker was 400 feet underground. Military engineers will have to rethink this concept.
If you are having to operate 400ft underground then what’s the use in being in Ukraine anyways, you might as well command from NATO country or in your underwear on your couch, like the rest of today’s society.
Lol, work from home generals
That's the relevant point. A major Command installation, whether above ground or below ground, should not,and need not be so close to the "Forward edge of battle".
The range to that forward edge depends upon the enemies weapon systems. In this case Hypersonic Missiles.
In all cases, a sophisticated anti- missile defence system must also be deployed.
Some one stuffed up big time. It's as if these fatalities were more sacrifices to Moloch.
There were multiple air defense systems deployed, and were wiped out with what was basically volley fire.. One of the telegram groups I lurk in had a decent write up about it - if I remember later (it's 4am rn) I'll look for and post it.
Thanks for that information. I have a look and see what I can find.
Do you know if they had systems like Patriot deployed and if Patriot can deal with Hypersonic missiles.
I love the fact the Russians "drenched" the target area. It is typical of Russian tactics. The Russians always consider artillery, including rockets and missiles, to be their God of War!
I still don't necessarily believe this. The "Russia finally admits" title is misleading - the "Russia" in this case being not the RF armed forces but a Russia-linked suspended twitter account.
The rumours have been very persistent though so it makes me wonder if there is indeed some truth in it.
As to why the alleged bunker would be located inside Ukraine - good question but could have been a question of legality. Ukraine is a huge country and the bunker would have been far from the front line, near the Polish border. Could have been they were worried about legality/deniability of locating it actually inside Poland.
400 foot underground. Steel reinforced concrete about 40 feet thick and this Daggar cut through it like butter. Impressive to say the least. The Daggar is hypersonic and we got nothing to defend against it. US Military were contemplating a weapon system called "Thor's Hammer" which would launch telephone sized rods of titanium from a platform in space to ground targets. It would fall at speeds of Mach 20 and be unstoppable. It would penetrate anything as deep as 1000 foot of rock if I remember correctly. They "SAID" the idea was too expensive to operate like that has ever made any difference. We probably have it somewhere up there!

My memory is not as good as Google but I knew it was a bad weapon!

The most literal example. Mach 12? Good Lord.
How much does that sound like Elons Starlink tech? I guess this is what happens when you ignore requests to not equip a failed state with the fancy comms that runs drones with WMD type payloads.
Well, let's be fair to Elon. He's got a company. He's highly dependent on the US gov't to allow him to launch these satellites and maintain them. It is unwise to piss off the Pentagon when you get a large part of your business from the DoD budget (via contracts) and when gov't regulators can shut you down effectively like throwing a switch. All of his major businesses have contracts with NATO countries. So, he's obliged to cooperate to some extent with business decisions.
Even if he stands on principle and decides to take the financial hit, he's got a fiduciary responsibility to the corporations, to his employees, and his shareholders to act in the interest of those companies. He has to walk the tightrope with the corrupt leaders of every country in which he does business, like any CEO.
SpaceX is a private company, and so is twatter.
That would be a good point if we had a free market.
I know we don't.
I wonder if Russia and China got some of this technology off of Kankles server. We were supposed to loose the war they were going to get us into. AC Carriers and Subs built with weakened steel.
Horrific?
So hiding under my bed is useless?
Burn it all down.
“Portal” is an interesting word to use
Some of this is just Greek to me.

Idk if the story wasnt true to begin with it's because the russians made it up. So the russians "confirming" the story is meaningless. Now if Ukraine or NATO confirmed it then you'd have something
