Every time U.S. or British intelligence pulls one of their stunts against Russia, Russia strikes back, often in a creative fashion. This time it was a hypersonic Oreshnik. Putin talks softly but carries a stick for which Trump has no defense. From theconservativetreehouse.com:
President Trump, President Zelenskyy and the CIA continue to deny any involvement on the drone attack against Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin’s state residence. However, Russia has released evidence from the drones that were shot down including the guidance and targeting systems.
Someone launched the drones from Ukraine and targeted them at Putin’s residence to send a message. There is considerable debate online about it, but if President Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy are speaking truthfully, the most likely suspect who launched the drones was British intelligence inside Ukraine. Then again, if the CIA was factually involved, everyone would have to deny it.
In retaliation for the December 29th attack, yesterday Russia fired a hypersonic Oreshnik missile and counterattack drones directly into the heart of Kiev, Ukraine.
The use of the Oreshnik missile comes just hours after Russian President Putin asserted publicly that Ukraine, Europe and NATO have no defenses against the hypersonics.
President Zelenskyy said the Russian attack involved 242 drones, 13 ballistic missiles, one Oreshnik missile and 22 cruise missiles. However, as with all things Zelenskyy, this dramatic claim seems to be slightly exaggerated.
Russia claims they targeted key electricity infrastructure as well as the production facilities for building drones in Kiev which are collocated in residential areas.
Images of the hypersonic missile warheads hitting their targets is shown at left. Much of Kiev is now without power and electricity.

LOL I love mocking the HSR.
