May 17 (Reuters) - Three Russian academics who have worked on hypersonic missile technology face "very serious accusations", the Kremlin said on Wednesday, in a treason investigation that has spread alarm through Russia's scientific community.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he was aware of an open letter from Siberian scientists in defence of the men, but that the case was a matter for the security services.

In the letter, published on Monday, colleagues of Anatoly Maslov, Alexander Shiplyuk and Valery Zvegintsev protested their innocence and said the prosecutions threatened to inflict grave damage on Russian science.

[...]

It said such cases were having a chilling effect on young Russian scientists.

"Even now, the best students refuse to come to work with us, and our best young employees are leaving science. A number of research areas that are critically important to laying the fundamental groundwork for the aerospace technology of the future are simply closing because employees are afraid to engage in such research."

SOMEBODY has to be the scapegoat for the Kinzhal missiles being intercepted.

It looks to me like the Russian propaganda machine is trying to manufacture a reason why the Patriot is capable of shooting down the Kinzhal - ie it must be due to the treasonous behavior of our scientists, it could not possibly because hypersonic missiles are not particular hard to shoot down if you have the right equipment. Since the Russian propaganda machine has been claiming from the start of the war that the Kinshal could not be shot down, the recent shoot-downs may be straining the Russian belief system.

The Return of the 'Wreckers'? It looks like it. The echoes of the past are uncanny. I recently read an article of the tortuous design of the pre-war Project 23 battleships. Entire design staffs were held responsible for the failure of the design to do the impossible. Lucky ones got an all-expenses-paid trip to the gulag. Sounds awfully familiar......

Gotta give the Master Strategist credit. He's bringing back Stalin's Soviet Union bit-by-bit.
 
Belgium ready to train ukrainian pilots for the F-16.

Why to spend time and resources in training men in such a special role if there is no plan to use them?

I bet somethings are going behind the curtains

Glad I waited for someone to post this sentiment. You worded it better than what I was thinking.
