No pictures of the actual missile.

The launcher looks like a standard box on the back of a large truck.

But it’s painted in tactical dark green!

Edit to add, it looks like the truck is a marine corps MKR18 LVSR. Could be wrong….

Looks a bit longer/taller than typical? So I'm guessing these hypersonic missiles are some real looooooong bois. But otherwise, yeah.

Again? They just can't help themselves, can they.

PS: I don't care if the "actual missile" is not in the pic, they shouldn't do that, and the later retraction is an admission of guilt.

PPS: could've been on purpose though. 50/50 🤷

Keep in mind the US loves propaganda as much as the next regime. Doing an oopsy woopsy to show you got strong weapons is almost completely in your favor.

Currently I'd consider them closer to 14 year olds arguing over pro wrestling, or 20 year olds fresh out of bootcamp arguing over uncleared military hardware replicated in a video game.

...wait

With this admin, I always feel chances are equal they A) did it on purposes or B) fucked up again. This sort of ambiguity might be on purpose for whoever decided to let social media influencers run a country.

It’s gonna be wild prompt-engineering grok to disclose confidential information. I for one am looking forward to it.

Well, yes and no.

The current regime in particular is run by / has leadership largely composed of sycophantic rank idiots who demonstrably suck at their jobs. They can and have fucked up things simpler than this.

I'd argue it's any age from 18 to 50ish. But they're 10yo's at heart [maturity level]
