I'm seeing a banquet of consequences being served up to the "combined" (hegemonic) west.

I was wondering if the streaking look of the new Hazels are due to the limitations of human vision....

Like we hear sonic boooms due to the limitations of our ears, sort of....not really but you can get my jist...

Dima says Russia will enforce the peace with these Oreshkins, praise God...pass the ammunition...

They probably look awesome in infra-red.

I suspect that these hypersonic long range missiles might emit more strongly at shorter (blue to near ultraviolet) frequencies while in atmospheric flight, before the warheads or kinetic impactors separate.

After separation, yes, those individual elements probably heat up enough to radiate IR strongly in the last few seconds of their trajectory.

As far as their strobing/striped appearance on video, I would guess that is an artifact of cellphone cameras sensors + software, go look at something in the dark through your cellphone camera app while illuminating it with an LED flashlight (other than the one built into phone), you may see the same sort of "stripe" artifacts.

If my crazy theory re: RF hypersonics use of plasma skin effects for drag/friction heating reduction and possibly even steering are valid, there could be additional reasons for video frame rates to interact oddly with their emissions AND for more emissions in the blue to UV frequency range associated with ionized air, along with less emissions in the IR range than expected.

(Why yes, I AM an enormous nerd)

You mean the frequencies of the LEDs & phone cam are not the same? (Like recording from the TV screen, at least back in the 90s.)

Well, I can't do that, because I've never owned a personal surv... a SMART phone, and given a choice never will. As an early skeptic of the Covid narratives - thanks to some excellent journalism on counterpunch regarding its origins, cemented when the PTB screamed it was "conspiracy theory" (Always a giveaway these days that something is going on) you can imagine the dilemma when it looked like a choice between eating, or owning one. Considering the state hassles me every time I've left/entered the country for the past decade+, - 8 or so years ago the border agents just trashed a hard-drive for no particular reason whatsoever fx, which I discovered upon getting home - I'm going to enjoy smirking when they demand to see 'my phone' to read all the data, as that has now come in.

Sure, it's a small hassle having to print out tickets, reading paper maps, and asking for directions, but I survived for decades beforehand doing that, and it never killed me. :)

With every year and every new revelation regarding their/your phones, this has seemed like a wiser move.

But barring all that, - I get your point. :)

...I was talking about the last stage of re-entry, as they drop below the clouds. I guess if the worst comes to the worst due to Western Hegemonic Insanity, if you were looking up with IR goggles as they begin descent, you'd have a sec or two to go "wooaah..." ;).

Hey, they make nifty little thermal imagers you just plug into your smart phone…

Bwahahaha!

I wonder if it's nuke proof, lol.

EMP hardened smart phones probably aren't a thing?
