"Agreed, and Russia not using it willy-nilly on inappropriate targets is adding to its mystique/scariness/threat potential.
it freaks the psychopathic elite out, having seen it once but not being able to gather much in the way of useful data, because everything was obliterated. The pictures of rusty old water tanks and central heating pumps that the Ukrainians paraded as remnants of the device probably didn’t help to calm nerves."Absolutely agree. The West originally stated that the Orishnick strike on Yurezmesh was a “test”. Utter BS. The RF would not have used such a sophisticated and (apparently) destructive weapon on a target they clearly considered as very important as a “test”. If the “test” had gone pear shaped the PR value to the West would have been immense.
No, that system must have been well tested before hand (which implies extended development over a long time), and the RF was pretty confident it would work as intended.
If that demonstration had any element of “test” involved it was to test the reaction of the west to the existence of Orishnick. The deafening silence from western governments on this since last November speaks for itself IMO.However, I suppose the recent announcement by DJT of pending development of the Golden Dome, or Dome of Heaven or whatever could be construed as some sort of copium-fuelled response.
