    Prudent. Kinda funny calling a decades-old conventional weapon people built, mostly banned and then dismantled called a “wonder weapon” though.

      Wunderwaffe does not mean it’s a great weapon, it just means it is portrayed as so in a way that helps in terms of propaganda to make it seems as if with X or Y weapon the war would be won. It was a trick employed by the Nazis, and in Ukraine it was already done multiple times, first were the HIMARS, then the Leopards, now cluster bombs, and so on.
