that means they can deliver a missile within 15 minutes within 1200 miles of their launching site. it s extremely effective in terms of speed. it s also maneuverable. air defenses just can t pick them up. to defeat them you have to defeat the delivery system, the mig 31, cruise missile before it launches. once it launches, game over. it s probably going to hit its target. let s talk about that for a second. what s significant about this is two things, the kinetic energy associated with this weapon, just sending a bb will cause a lot of damage. they claim to put nuclear warheads on this. this could be a game changing issue if they decide to go that way. they have other delivery systems that can deliver nuclear weapons. but of strategic importance is really what this capability sends is a message to nato.
right now and we know inker keeve, there s a hard push to take back previously held russian domain. let me talk about that. first of all, we know this city has been taken back. there s a town near the airport that s been sieged. if they can resiege in the airport, that would be hugely important to them for many reasons. and obviously they re going to be able to stop the russians from using that as a launching site. they pushed them back. using key terrain to fight the russians, use swamps and rivers. what this all means is very important. now they ve got a tlo35-mile ri protected.
this area right here, you can still move missiles into places like here and still hit kyiv without any problem. the missiles the russians use have that range. most of them do. and they could easily hit targets like kyiv, irpin, any of the others that are really important for that particular objective of the russian war, which i believe has not changed by the way. from a ukrainian defense standpoint, this would be a bold new development, sending your helicopters across the border, if that is the case. we know troops came in from belarus. russian planes have flown from here. they usually come around the border and come back. not coming too deep into ukraine. if there s a significant build-up of missiles, is there much ukraine can do about that? they d have to mount attacks in order to get those kinds of missiles and get their launch sites. it would be very important for them to do that. they d have to go to the source to the launching site and be
accomplished that. and, again, when you look at the reality on the ground and say that there are americans there, there are a lot of americans apparently out of that 250 who choose to be there most of those that are left there in terms the afghans are people who wanted to get out but we just couldn t manage it and i think that when you look at this and you look at four presidents, bret, you look at president bush who chose to go in there, and didn t know how to get out. you look at president obama, you know, he put more troops in but it was like a band-aid. he didn t really know how to get out. president trump negotiated with the taliban, that s, you know, and now president biden under estimated the strength of the afghan government. there were a lot of mistakes here. bret: all right, trey, last word. i m just trying to process how afghanistan is no longer a launching site for terrorism with the 13 coffins that i saw at dover air force base
