"Orezhnik" is only a myth: what is really capable of a Russian rocket and why Ukraine should not be afraid of it
The new manager is intended instantly-a person traditionally for the lack of rocket and space equipment, but is close to working with large financial flows. And immediately after the appointment of "New Rogozin", a warning about the possible start of "Osshnik". Because over the landfill, the Kabin Yar has closed the sky, which is a sign of trial preparation that can happen in the near future.
That is, the "previous Rogozin" was removed precisely for the breakdown of the "Oresshnik" time, and the new one tries to demonstrate immediately that he will correct everything. Such a course of events indicates that Putin dreams of repeating the script used by the United States at the end of World War II: a blow that led to Japan's surrender.
But Putin wants to strike a "Oresshnik", which is positioned as a kinetic weapon, which is not a weapon of mass destruction, but is theoretically capable of inflicting the same destruction as an atomic bomb. And after that the Kremlin will extend its - the capitulator for Ukraine the option of a peace treaty. At the same time, the likelihood that "Oreshnik" will be able to perform the function of American atomic bombs "fat" and "baby", I evaluate as a meager.
And this is not my personal disregard for the current state of Russian rocket science, but the understanding that in the existing massive and signature parameters "Oreshnik" can hardly be an effective kinetic weapon. Kinetic weapons are a rocket, in the battle part of which instead of explosives - rods made of refractory material, tungsten usually. These rods are accelerated to hypersonic velocity, kinetic energy is released when struck, and it looks like a powerful explosion.
When an asteroid crashed into the earth in ancient times, all dinosaurs on the planet were extruded from the explosion. Nowadays, South Korea has created a rocket called "Hunma", which in the battle part has 8 tons of tungsten. When struck on the surface, energy is released, equivalent to 11. 4 tones of TNT, that is, the conditional kinetic coefficient is greater than one.
In addition, the energy is released at a depth of more than a hundred meters, and the destruction on the surface is relatively small, because this rocket, in fact, is created to get some inha, as if it would not be buried deeply. Everything is not true with "Oshshnik. That is, the kinetic coefficient - less than a fall - about 10 speeds of sound. There is nowhere to install The inadvertence in the rear is capable of, they are more frightening than any beacon "on new physical principles".
