They hit the "border" and invented the "pagan". Will Russia come down from the hands of the world's first blow to the MBR
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on November 21, at the Southmash plant in the Dnieper, the Orezhnik launcher was hit in the Dnieper plant in a non -nuclear hypersonic equipment in the Dnieper. According to the Russian leader, Western air defense agents are powerless in front of the "Osshnik", as these missiles attack targets at a speed of 10 strokes, about 2. 5-3 kilometers per second.
Before the next launch, Russia will warn civilians in Ukraine and citizens of friendly states about the need to leave the areas of possible damage. It is noteworthy that there are no information about the Russian Orezhnik rocket in the open access. The Pentagon stated that it was a medium-range ballistic missile (BSD), created on the basis of the RC-26 Rubezh missile.
The Sabrina Singh's representative also said that the states were previously reported because of the nuclear risk channels to start the rocket in a short time before launch. Western editions also indicated that a blow to the Dnieper was a medium -range missile rather than intercontinental (IBR).
Financial Times reminded that according to the Strategic offensive Agreement (S-III), signed on April 8, 2010 in Prague, IBD is defined as a grinding launch of land base with a distance of flight more than 5500 km. Most MBRs have a flight range from 8000 to 15,000 km. The average range of MBR was considered at the level of 1000 - 5500 km, and the smaller one - from 500 to 1000 km.
But even the average range makes it possible to make a nuclear blow at any point in the European Union from its territory. The designation of "Oreshnik", according to the team of analysts of Defense Express, could be featured in working documentation in the framework of work on "product" PC-26 "Rubezh". Such "duality" for the Russian MIC is in the order of things. For example, the winged X-101 rocket is denoted as "product 504".
The Kremlin has clearly pursued the purpose of psychological influence by the "Osshnik" on the Western countries and to give the impression that new missile capacity has emerged in the Russian Federation. At the beginning of 2024, Russia had 521 MBDs of land and maritime base, and the arsenal accumulated for over two decades. Military observer Oleksandr Kovalenko notes the lack of meaning in creating a new hypersonic nuclear rocket in the presence of "daggers" and "zircons".
The characteristics of these missiles are similar, but they have repeatedly stuck Patriot and Samp/T. Most of the territory of Ukraine is also in the area of reach of Russian OTRC "Iskander" and ordinary winged missiles. You can equip the nuclear warhead with all the above types of weapons. In November 2022, Ukraine has already released a winged X-55 rocket with a nuclear charge imitator, so medium or intercontinental rates in the war with a neighboring state to use it is absurd.
Russian media and bloggers, according to Kovalenko, were decree to diminish the value of the rocket that was struck by the Dnieper. Putin has been forced to declare a hypersonic, conventional "oreshnik", fearing the answers of the international community. According to the Colonel of the Reserve, the expector of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladislav Seleznev, Russia struck the Dnieper with the rocket RC-26 "Rubezh".
The testing and deployment of the projectile prohibited a medium and short range (DRSMD) missiles, signed by the USSR and the United States on December 8, 1987. Until 2019, the United States and Russia were participating in DRSMD. Moscow secretly continued to develop rockets in this category, which forced the state to withdraw from the treaty. Putin said in the video that Russian rocket launchers called the Oreshnik missile released across the Dnieper.
But the military never comes up with rocket names - this is the prerogative of manufacturers, the expert notes. "The myth of" Orezhnik "spreads quickly, but our Western allies are manipulated. The Pentagon speaks of BSD, but requires a strict reaction to such bold behavior of Moscow. To reduce the degree of voltage, Washington put forward a version of a medium -range rocket," he explains. He focus.
Russia demonstrates the world to raise rates, and Ukraine, meanwhile, has become a landfill between NATO and the aggressor. However, the Alliance has not yet appeared on the battlefield, the analyst states. "The President of the Russian Federation is convinced that he will not receive a serious answer. To some extent he is right: we do not see serious statements and extraordinary meetings of the Radbeza. For the first "," Yars "and other types of IBRs," Seleznyov emphasizes.
Attacking RC-26 Rubzh rocket is almost impossible to reflect by conventional air defense. The only protection option is to knock it down at high altitude, until the combat blocks are separated. Theoretically, collapsed parts can knock down the Patriot complex, but there were no actual cases of successful interception of the rocket. Ukrainian military analysts say that the intercontinental missiles of RC-26 "Rubezh" are capable of expensive American complexes Thaad.
Ukraine does not have them in service, and in US allies it is in limited quantities. In addition to Thaad, the United States has a small and medium-range ballistic missiles with AEGIS BMD with Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) interceptors, but it is not effective in combating maneuvered missiles. Another American GMD system is intercepting MBR at a height in outer space, but its effectiveness depends on the availability of accurate trajectory data.
Based on the data available, the interception of PC-26 "Rubezh" is possible in the case of combination of modern means of air defense, satellite surveillance, radar and accurate intelligence. We will remind, experts told what will happen if the Russian IBR is to be stuffed with nuclear charge. The consequences of the explosion are felt by residents of Russia, Belarus, Turkey and Europe.
