Interception of a russian cruise missile by a ukrainian air defence system [unknown location, November 2024]

1. Fpv drone air defence

2. The “direct hit”-interception most likely makes this an IRIS-T system, as other air defence missiles typically use a proximity detonating warhead.

3. It boggles my mind the sophistication that needs to go into these interceptors. The ability to take the data from all on board sensors, calculate the exact millisecond to detonate so that the shrapnel from the explosive will take out the desired target, all while travelling anywhere above Mach 3 (and God knows what g-forces), towards a target which is also travelling at who knows how fast. I sometimes catch myself marvelling at it all before I realize if people could just stop being cunts we could direct this amazing engineering at something far better for society.

4. Can hope that that touched down on Russian Trenches

5. Why does the russian population not realize, that all this is SO much money and human resources going to waste instead of being spent improving life in russia itself?

6. The fact that the missile is tiny, fast and hits with direct impact makes me think this was an IRIS-T missile

7. 💯💯💯💯💯

8. I think finally the west have realized that the axis of evil is real, North Korea, Iran, China and Russia should be blockaded totally until they shrivel and die
