Correction, 2/7/25: the name and the article have been updated to explain that a report of the publication of the missiles was false.
After the precaution, the US officials of their goal of starting, Russia presented a new mysterious ballistic missile, first with an ICBM available for nuclear, in the city of Dnipro in eastern Ukraine on the morning of November 21 damaging buildings and hurting dozens of people.
The mysterious weapon has proven to be a variant of Russia RS-26, a falsified combustion missile of 40 tons with six independent vehicles returning to school. His name, near the Russian. Vladimir Putin announced in a while after the strike, it is “Orshnik”. It is Russian for “Hazelnut Tree. “
Three months later, on Thursday morning, the Russians would have introduced some other oresilleros, pointing to kyiv. Air Raid sirens groaned.
The city of the city ran for a shelter. But then rumble . . . nothing. There is no crying of incoming cars to school. No thunder has an effect on non -explanatory cars collapsed in the soil.
According to Kirill Sazonov, correspondent for the Ukraine War, Orshnik “flew away. ” He would have misunderstood and exploited, on Russian soil.
Update, 2/7/25: the caution of the incursion and the claim of Sazonov were false.
Everyone knew that an attack could happen. A week after Orshnik’s first strike, Putin threatened to say goodbye to other Orshniks, and warned in particular that he would go to “decision -making centers” in kyiv, where the Ukrainians. Volodymyr Zelensky, senior officials and commanders and their work.
But the risk was as genuine as Orshnik is reliable. Although it is not yet imaginable to verify independently the moment when the moment in the middle of Oreadik’s head, a turn of destiny would not be surprising.
The Orshnik is just a RS-26 with less fuel and a shorter range. The first RS-26 test, in 2011, ended with explosive shame, while the rocket prototype left the races and exploded a few kilometers from its launch site at the Cosmodrome of Plesetsk in the northwest of Russia.
In the failure, at the time Orshnik only saved the citizens of kyiv and the Ukrainian leaders an accumulator of the morning of fear, he also returned to the Kremlin. After all, the ICBM orhnik type with its nuclear associations is more scary than is militarily effective.
Complexes and inaccuracies, Orshnik is a loved one to “deliver so much destruction”, Jeffrey Lewis, director of the East Asia Non -Proliferation Program of the Middlebury Institute for International Studies of Monterey.
In this sense, it is a terrorist weapon: a device aimed at scaring many more people who hurts and kills. This is the reason why Putin followed Orshnik’s first attack on an occasion in the media with a chest through the launch of what Moscow Times described as “a crusade of army propaganda designed to exaggerate the capacities of the Army Complex Russian commercial and the strength of a new weapon. “
Putin “had to use [Orshnik], then make a press convention and then make some other press convention and say:” Hey, this is scary, you deserve to be afraid, “Lewis said.
But now that part of the Orshniks would possibly have crashed before reaching their goals, terrorist missiles are less scary day by day.
Update, 2/6/25: twelve hours after the warning of Air Raid in Ukraine, there was no official confirmation of the alleged release of Orshnik, or from the alleged accident. Currently, satellites have registered the fireplace that would probably result from such an impact.
Update, 2/7/25: The National Security and Defense Disinformation Center of Ukraine announced that Orsk was not launched on Thursday.
