Today was a professional holiday in honor of the attack on Russian Naval vessel Moskva, which took place two years ago today.

In a video address to Ukraine today, President Zelensky thanked Olaf Scholz for supplying an additional Patriot and additional Iris-T system. He mentioned the front briefly, saying that "in some directions the situation is complicated."

Iran officially joins hypersonic club

The Kheibar Shekan hypersonic missile is the weapon which was used to strike Israel's premier Ramon airbase in the Negev just a few hours ago. Until now, Iranian claims of its capabilities have been impossible to verify, however we can now say the Islamic Republic has clearly joined the very small list of nations with such advanced weapons.

Kheibar Shekan is a 3rd generation medium-range ballistic missile of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. the weapon's name means 'Fortress Breaker', 'Kheibar' being the Jewish fortress that was conquered by the Muslims in the beginning of Islam, during the battle of Khaybar.

The Kheibar shekan is the world's longest-range solid-fuel tactical ballistic missile, able to deliver a 500kg warhead to targets 1450km away. It can operate from a variety of Iranian launch platforms, and has interchangeable warheads.

In the terminal phase, the HGV (Hypersonic Glide Vehicle) warhead separates from the main missile body and is able to accelerate and manuever in order to bypass ABM systems. Once separated, the warhead accelerates to mach 7-10. It uses both a thrust vectoring motor as well as actuating fins to maneuver. The distinctive triconic shape of the warhead provides stability whilst maneuvering at hypersonic speeds in the lower atmosphere.

Dramatic footage of the sky over Israel filled with air defense missiles, none of which are able to prevent the arrival of four Iranian hypersonic warheads.

Iron Dome will henceforth be called Iron Sieve.
