Moscow has already arrested 16 scientists for missile-related articles, not counting Kinzhal developers yet

The bunker gramps has found someone to take revenge for his military arrogance: the case of traitor scientists is in full swing. The FSB is throwing everyone involved in rocket science, from academics to senior researchers, into basements. Soon they will come for junior scientists. 

You may have already heard that 3 rocket scientists have been imprisoned.  They are charged with treason. If being honest, they were imprisoned for visualizing the fantasies of the bunker gramps.

We are talking about a sci-fi cartoon that Putin passed off as reality in the State Duma on March 1, 2018. In the video, a Zircon anti-ship missile and an Avangard intercontinental ballistic missile are launched at the territory of the US.  "There are no analogs," the "old man" said. The world laughed at science fiction, but not its main creator. He believed that the cartoon's "characters" were real.

Zircon and Avangard do exist, but they are so invisible that they can only be seen in the closed items of Muscovy's military budget. It is logical to assume that the expected hypersonic speed of the missiles was accompanied by hyperspace budgets allocated for imaginary weapons. Musk would have colonized Mars with such funds, taught the people who arrived there how to do without oxygen, and created a time machine with money left. 

“Zircon and Avangard do exist, but they are so invisible that they can only be seen in the closed items of Moscow's military budget. It is logical to assume that the expected hypersonic speed of the missiles was accompanied by hyperspace budgets allocated for imaginary weapons”

In reality, the scientists will be tried for the leader's inflated expectations. Since there is no such article in the Russian Criminal Code, they will be charged with treason.

The trio of traitors are Doctor of Engineering Valery Zvegintsev, his supervisor Alexander Shiplyuk, and scientist Anatoly Maslov. The latter two were thrown in jail last August.  The funny thing is that Maslov is being charged with transferring secret technologies... to Russia's closest friend and partner China - he simply spoke at a scientific conference. Others have gone to jail for writing scientific papers.

All in all, 16 people in the Siberian branch of the Academy of Sciences, including academics and heads of laboratories, were caught by the FSB, and some scientists passed away in the pre-trial detention center and are now watching with interest the events from the other side.

“The bunker gramps, for example, was running a cartoon in the State Duma about the Kinzhal hypersonic complex, which is "guaranteed to overcome" not only existing but also future air and missile defense systems. They said that even Martians would not be able to shoot it down. But the Ukrainians have succeeded, and with the help of the Patriot system created in the 1970s.  And there are other "non-analogs" that the "old man" once boasted about: Satana II missiles, other "sarmatas": their developers must also answer for the failure of the Mordor's combat capability…”

This is all because of just one Zircon, and there are many such flights in advanced Russian science. For example, the bunker old man, for example, was running a cartoon in the State Duma about the Kinzhal hypersonic complex, which is "guaranteed to overcome" not only existing but also future air and missile defense systems. They said that even Martians would not be able to shoot it down. 

But the Ukrainians have succeeded, and with the help of the Patriot system created in the 1970s.  And there are other "non-analogs" that the old man once boasted about: Satana II missiles, other "sarmatas": their developers must also answer for the failure of the Mordor's combat capability…

“How can we not recall the famous Stalinist "case of the scientists": back then, there were also enemies and traitors everywhere, who belonged only under the supervision of the penitentiary system. Under Stalin, entire scientific institutes worked in prisons”

How can we not recall the famous Stalinist "case of the scientists": back then, there were also enemies and traitors everywhere, who belonged only under the supervision of the penitentiary system. Under Stalin, entire scientific institutes worked in prisons. After all, the founder of the rocket industry, Sergei Korolev, made his most important discoveries under the reliable protection of prison walls.

For us, the indicator here is very simple: the more internal enemies, traitors, and foreign agents the Putin regime identifies, the less confident it is in its stability. By all indications, things are not as they were in 1937 yet, but the country is steadily slipping into it, and will increasingly be forced to pay for the fantasies and illusions of its leader.

Especially since Russian science has become corrupt, and in such a difficult time it must atone for its sins before the “pillars”, before Putin.
