- antattack 5y agoThey might switch to hyper-sonic missile development.
- hackerfromthefu 5y agoSounds expensive..
- renewiltord 5y agoWhy bother, Brahmos is likely unstoppable for its purposes for quite some time. Brahmos 2 is likely going to work too so there's no reason to man-month it.
- colechristensen 5y agoThere has already been reporting of hypersonic missiles launched at Ukraine, which is not at all surprising.
- gliptic 5y agoThose in the know suspect these are just the upper stages of Iskanders launched from jets.

- golergka 5y agoHalf the software engineers and other STEM professionals I know that lived in Russia have left the country in the last month, me included. Most don't have job offers or money to last more than a couple of months, some don't even have their passports.
- konschubert 5y agoI think you and others that left deserve the support of then western world. I’m a software developer in Germany. If you can think of a way I could maybe help, mail me at mail@konstantinschubert.com
- golergka 5y agoCapitalism is the best way to do it: just hire people who are leaving. It's a pure win-win situation. There is a direct and very strong correlation in Russia between person's level of education, his worth on the labour market and his disdain for the Russia's policy. While majority of Russians support fascist regime and criminal war against Ukraine, majority of those who leave now, especially those with fluent English and internationally valued skills absolutely do not.
- gruez 5y ago>some don't even have their passports. Do countries accept refugees without passports? I can't imagine living a stateless/undocumented existence in some random country to be better than a relatively middle class life in russia.
- vl 5y agoRussians remember iron curtain all too well, wait now, and you will not be able to leave at all. There was no freedom of travel in Soviet Union.
- golergka 5y agoArmenia accepts Russian citizen by internal Russian ID. It's confusing, because internal id is called "passport" in Russia, and passport is called "foreign passport" — a legacy of a system that was (and still is) designed to impose prison-like discipline on it's own citizens and limit their ability to go abroad.
