Financial Times ...
... is a human sewer, because normal people do not work there. They do not work in media in general--human waste does.
President Xi Jinping told US President Donald Trump during their high-level summit last week that Russian President Vladimir Putin may ultimately end up regretting his full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The revelation, first reported by the Financial Times citing officials familiar with the US assessment of the Beijing summit, comes at a delicate diplomatic moment. The information surfaced just as Putin is about to arrive in China for a critical bilateral summit with Xi.
But then ...
Well, from the boss' mouth, verbatim. Real boss meanwhile ...

A Warning To One "User" ...
... he knows who he is, recently (a few days back) he brought in another pile of bovine Neural Network (AI) excrement from 404 propaganda creep Mylovanov about Ryazan. This was from this "source". Here is an example of the quality of these "sources" (all of them under the supervision and control of GUR, SBU, MI6 and CIA). Sappy sentimental bullshit they feed 404 and West's hoi polloi.
There will be many imbeciles who will swallow this hook, line and sinker and you cannot help them, but I will start banning people who continue to bring this shit to this forum from all kinds of infosewers and propaganda outlets like this. Coming soon to a forum near you--11 years old girl from Kiev stopped Oreshnik seconds from it hitting her brothers and sisters playing near her home. The girl is in stable conditions in hospital, recovering from this ordeal. Well, in related news--404 drones destroyed Russian industry (all of it), Moscow is in ruins and Putin is ready to escape and hide in China. In all, if anyone wants to consume infogarbage, be my guest but not in this blog.
The Best Version Of ...
... Erika, with a major purely instrumental segment. I mean it. It is great march and this version is the best.
Soviet interest in global or orbital attack options appeared early in the space age. The same rocket progress that made human spaceflight possible also made military planners think about routes that bypassed existing warning networks. By the early 1960s, Soviet design bureaus were studying systems that could exploit orbital mechanics for nuclear delivery. Sergei Korolev pursued the GR-1 concept, while other design teams advanced rival ideas. The system that moved toward deployment came from Mikhail Yangel ’s design bureau as the R-36O, also known by its GRAU designation 8K69. American intelligence tracked these efforts with rising concern. Declassified intelligence estimates from the 1960s tied Soviet tests to either a fractional orbital bombardment system, a depressed-trajectory ICBM, or both. Those estimates reflect a period when the United States still faced real uncertainty about Soviet technical direction. That uncertainty mattered in itself. A weapon that complicates warning can alter decisions even before it reaches maturity, because military planning has to account for possibility as well as established fact.
So, I merely use available (and good) information here and here is a very decent explanation of what FOBS is.
A useful definition has to separate FOBS from three related categories that are often mixed together. The first is the ordinary ICBM. An ICBM does not go into orbit. It climbs, coasts on a ballistic trajectory through space, then reenters. The second is a true orbital bombardment system, which would place a nuclear weapon into full orbit and potentially keep it there until commanded to attack. The third is the modern pairing of an orbital or near-orbital booster with a hypersonic glide vehicle . That pairing can look FOBS-like from the outside, yet the operational logic is not identical. The Soviet system sat between the first two categories. It used orbital flight as a partial path, but not a standing bomb-in-orbit posture.
Correct for highlighted in yellow. I also omit here any legal points because the US abrogated pretty much every single arms control treaty, so it is irrelevant for the Russian (and ONLY in the world) variant of FOBS. Enter RS-28 Sarmat, it is a 200 ton monster with a payload of 10 tons with Power-to-equipment ratio (энерговооруженность), aka PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) without rivals in nuclear delivery systems.
In missile engineering, the power-to-equipment ratio refers to the relationship between the available propulsion power (thrust, specific impulse, or energy output) and the total mass of the missile’s propulsion system and other equipment. It is a key performance metric that influences range, speed, payload capacity, and overall mission effectiveness.
There is no contest, Sarmat is a FOBS system and it can deliver the payload to ranges unheard of before--35,000 + kilometers. Here is illustration from WiKi:
The CEP (Circular Error Probable) in this mode increases to many hundreds of meters as opposed claimed for Trident II D5 as 100 meters. FYI--Avangard's CEP is ... 10 meters. When I say that the United States lost the arms race--I mean it, it is not a hyperbole. Then, of course, consider the fact that the Avangard FOBS flies around the world at will, while the range of Trident II D5 is 11,500 km.
An Interesting Bit.
Make no mistake, lowlives exist everywhere--in the US, Russia, Europe, China et al, but khohol lowlife is a special case.
Now this scumbag laments:
