Yup what's he waiting for? theatrics and misdirection until he actually puts words into action.
It looks like Ukraine successfully hit one of Russia's “unstoppable” hypersonic missiles last day over Kyiv.

Ukraine shoots down Russian ‘unstoppable’ hypersonic missile
Ukrainian troops reportedly shoot down a Russian hypersonic ballistic missile using a Western-made air defense system. According to Defense Express, Ukraine's Armed Forces successfully intercepted a Russian Kinzhal (Kh-47) hypersonic missile at around 02:40 a.m. on May 4 over Kyiv. Ukrainian Air...

It was only a few weeks ago that vatniks were celebrating Wagner's victories and claiming this would be the first time in history that a mercenary group had fully encircled a city while fighting a conventional standing army.
That didn't happen, and now they're withdrawing without taking Bakhmut. You love to see it!

You think Russia are going to roll over and pull out?
I think you've got that the wrong way around.
Just sit in your control room and look at the computer screens and pretty diagrams, it'll all be fine

Russians will have to programme `jinking` in terminal phase, if that is even possible for a mach 5 missile
Hypersonic missile is such a buzzword it has no real meaning. It's fascinating once you start doing a bit of reading to find out how many military buzzwords there are thrown around to make things sound more impressive than they are. The kh-47 slows down to Mach 4 and less in its terminal phase, that's not hypersonic. Show me a missile that is hypersonic at sea level, that would be impressive - like a scram hypersonic cruise missile

Considering Ukraine seem to be holding well without bringing much of the counteroffensive equipment to the front, at least as far as we know, bodes well. They can just bleed Russia in the meantime.

Only the lower spin cycle washing machine chips were available
When they get the higher spin speed chips back in stock expect faster missiles
Also flies in a straight line , which makes it predicable. Ask the USA and the F117a what happens when something is routinely predictable
As soon as they have velocity and ehading the computer works out the intercept needed. All thats then needed is a fast reacting system to engage. Im leaning towards Patriot (PAC3 or even Skyceptor) , as no one is jumping up and down as to what was used
It's brilliant, and true, Kadrov came into the war all tiktoc and bragging, his 300 squad of his best sent to asasinate Zelenski near the beginning were wiped out now he has lost so many troops his enemies at home are eyeing him up.
Has he been seen since? As for the Wagner dude desperate for ammunition, he was being paid 100 million a month but he was supposed to source his own ammunition for that.
Reminds me of the Gerard Butler film where a mass of drones tries to take out the president, one of the something is falling films.
Looking back now its pretty much a reality, they really are a huge importance to any war effort.
I suppose when you think about it when those missiles started testing the west would have been watching very carefully and planning how to stop them, well now we see that result.It looks like Ukraine successfully hit one of Russia's “unstoppable” hypersonic missiles last day over Kyiv.

It will **** Putin off big time if his super duper missiles can be shot down.
He seems to have gone very quiet for some time now.
Would be nice to see one of those drones dropping a grenade on him hiding in a foxhole but then he's probably not been anywhere near the front lines.

A large number of them
