Some EU budget funds are withheld from Hungary for this very reason. There is supposed to be an independent prosecutor in each member state, reporting to the EC. I think Hungary has refused to appoint one, since they know the EC knows there are plenty of corruption cases awaiting investigation.

After looking into this, out of 5 (some say 6) attempts to launch the RS-28 Sarmat since 2022, all but one has failed. That's at least an 80% failure rate. Assuming the principality of Muscovy has about 2,000 nukes, that would mean only 400 would survive a launch. How many would survive re-entry?

No air defense?

It is unusual for fires in the engine room to migrate to outside the hull. It is more likely a hole was created in the hull through an explosion of some kind, followed by the ignition of fuel, in or near the engine room. It could be a mine, a sea baby, a torpedo or something else.

Zelenskyy has said he will step down permanently when the war is over. He should put it in a peace agreement and require Moscow's reciprocity. Let's watch how you will try to squirm your way out of this one, @darthputinkgb.bsky.social.

Every accusation is a confession. Tell it to his face, and watch as he takes several seconds to figure out what it means.

Maybe you could list the number of agreements Putin and the principality of Muscovy is presently & flagrantly in violation of, instead of quoting someone who lies constantly & effortlessly.
Russia violates almost 500 agreements, treaties by annexation of Crimea
Russia annexed Ukraine's peninsula in March 2014.

So don't give me that it is an unusual event. Unlike most Muscovite ICBMs, the Sarmat uses liquid propellant. Guess where the expertise to build liquid propellant rockets were located in the USSR - in Ukraine. This is probably a contributing reason to the woes Moscow has with the RS-28 Sarmat. 🍋

Since 2022 there have been five or possibly six launches of the RS-28 Sarmat ICBM. Of these all but one on April 20th 2022 have ended in failure. In one case the missile didn't even manage to exit the silo before it exploded & created a 62-meter crater. This is an 80% failure rate. 😬

If this was caused by a sea baby, the Muscovites will have to use their few remaining navy vessels to escort the tankers. But then their vessels will also become targets.

This is a very good strategy to take out the remainder of the Muscovite Black Sea & oil tanker fleets.

If Ukraine ever targets tankers, they should do it when their tanks are empty, & it is certain they belong to Moscow. This looks like exactly such a case. Hitting it where the engine room is, will force it to stop moving. It creates a big hassle for Moscow as it will take time & money to repair.

From which Russian outlet did you hear this, & why did you allow yourself to be convinced you were not being lied to?

The tests you speak of, did boost the ISS's orbit, & were made to ensure that there is backup. There have been hold-ups in the past too where Russia was unable to boost the orbit.

Guidance or engines. Did they not have an issue with mounting a sensor upside down in the civilian programme, a few years ago? This looked similar. Wobbly early on. Growing worse. Then going sideways, breaking apart.

Sarmat launch failure. It looked to me like a guidance issue, or the engines might have lost power for some reason. After so many Sarmat launch failures, the question must be asked if Russia is capable of successfully launching any ICBMs.

Unless Hegseth carries a blank pardon in his pocket, signed by Trump, he is toast. With Trump, loyalty is a one-way street.

I always wondered why Ukraine didn't place a group of sea drones near locations where missile carrying vessels typically show up.
November 28, 2025 at 5:55 PM
Hopefully it was a Sarmat launch. Yet another one that failed. I don't know how many have failed by now. Unsure when they last had a successful launch. Perhaps they no longer have working ICBMs.

Congratulations. Have the German carmakers called yet? Has anybody called to move their production to the UK?

Another failed Sarmat launch? I think the question has to be asked if there are any functioning ICBMs in Russia right now.
