Hypersonic Aircraft and Missiles in the Breach

As dangerous and painful as it is to see, I think Putin's Russia has crossed the line many times by making it a target for strategic elimination.

He has his finger on the nuclear trigger, and you can bet we do too. 

"Official Pentagon policy states that its system is designed to protect the nation from nuclear missiles fired by a rogue state like North Korea. For a military superpower like Russia, the US depends on its vast nuclear arsenal of about 5,400 warheads as a deterrent.

That is problematic because Russia has low-grade nukes on missiles and is ready to use them.

In my opinion, the best we can do at the moment to halt Russia's attack on sovereign Ukraine and beyond is to wipe out the Kremlin, Moscow, and Putin's luxury birds nest.

Our intelligence must know his whereabouts and movements at all times. 

We have hypersonic missiles capable of delivering powerful non-nuclear explosives. They can be launched and penetrate without detection and inflict sufficient damage to curtail the government.

The risk remains that someone would launch nuclear weapons. We must prepare for what may be inevitable.

"Tactical Missiles

For tactical missiles, the range is the primary discriminator that will provide a strategic advantage: whichever side can shoot the furthest and operate from the greatest distance from its threat will ultimately prevail. Missile propulsion is therefore the key to enhancing this performance.

“Being able to make our long-range, tactical weapons go further than they currently do, and go further than the enemies’ weapons do, is really the primary consideration of closing that technology gap,” according to Ken Tappe, a tactical propulsion expert at Northrop Grumman.

So, what is the silver bullet that will guarantee the furthest tactical missile range?

In short, there isn’t one. There are many different considerations for extending the range of tactical missiles, all of which vary depending on the operator, the weapon’s intended use, the existing infrastructure, cost, risk, service life, and schedule, to name just a few."
