"Flies to Kiev in 8-10 minutes." Will the Russian Federation hit the RC-26 Rubezh River rocket

The closure of the embassies of a number of Western countries in Kiev against the background of the threat of a "significant" missile attack of the Russian army of Russia, on November 20, caused a wave of rumors about the probable launch of the Medium-range Ballistic missile in Ukraine RC-26 "Rubzh". OSINT analytics write on the social network X that Russia will experience an intercontinental ballistic missile in Ukraine with a "ordinary warhead".

Test launch is possible from the Kabbin Yar landfill in the Astrakhan region. The distance from Kiev to the Russian region is about 1300 kilometers. Until the publication of the material of official data confirming the threat of starting PC-26 "Rubezh", there was no. The Russian project of a moving strategic missile system with an intercontinental ballistic missile of RC-26 "Rubezh" is the development of the PC-24 "Yars-24" project.

"Rubezh" is equipped with new controlled combat blocks for breakage of missile defense systems and is intended for delivery of nuclear charges. Open sources say that the rocket strikes targets up to 6000 kilometers. The weight of its foging part is 1. 2 tons, which is equivalent to three "Iskander-M". He was developed by PC-26 "Rubezh" by the Moscow Institute of Heat Engineering, as well as the TEmp-2C, Pioneer, Topol and Yars missiles, and they produce shells at the Votkinsky plant.

The first start of the Rubezh rocket took place in September 2011. Further tests were conducted at Polytsk, Kapbin Yar and Sarah-Shagan until 2015. In 2018, the rocket was expelled from the weapon program by 2027. In the event of a launch of the RC-26 Rubezh rocket will fly to Kiev in 8-10 minutes, says the former deputy chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, Expert in the field of air defense Igor Romanenko. The question is whether the Patriot Samp-T system posed with the danger.

"In the conventional plan we are dealing with non -nuclear weapons. The rocket itself is much more powerful than ordinary balconics, but the air defense experts have learned to knock down. Now a new rocket has appeared, the Russians want to influence it with help on" decision -making centers "in Ukraine . It does not exclude the option of hitting the RC-26 "Rubezh" rocket in Ukraine and military expert Pavel Narozhny.

The main warhead can be divided into parts, each of them will weigh more than 100 kilograms, which will cause a significant blow to the area. The fougas part is used irrationally: a strong local explosion is able to destroy a dwelling house rather than important goals. "To destroy the General Staff of the Armed Forces, for example, it will not work. The building will withstand a nuclear stroke," - said the people.

Ukrainian air defense tools will not be able to knock down the rocket in the upper atmosphere, which requires Thaad systems, the transmission of which was not even discussed. The combat units can knock down the Patriot complex, he adds. It is worth noting that the Russian military command can resort to tactics for accelerating panic and hysteria.

According to the head of the Center for Combating Misinformation at the NSDC Andriy Kovalenko, it is now happening in the information space against the background of the closure of foreign embassies. It is advisable for Ukrainians to plan time, to prepare safe places in case of anxiety, to calculate the route and the time for which these places can be reached. It is also important to monitor official reports, in particular the Air Force.

"As for the panic that they are trying to heat up - it is a clarity that Russia was preparing for shelling and this is part of the war. The plans of the Russians are known for the defense forces. There is and will be opposed," he writes in Telegram. Monitoring channels already warn of the likelihood of strike from Russian Astrakhan. The threat can last not only on November 20, but also the following days. "Perhaps this is dedicated to the use of ATCMS missiles.

Ballistic and aerobalist missiles fly quickly, difficult to detect them. Those who have survived such blows know how serious it is. Immediately hide behind the nearest thick wall, ”experts said. Igor Romanenko believes that Russia was the first to start escalation in the war, inviting regular DPRK troops. The response of ATACMS missiles from the West is quite fair.

"At present, Moscow proposes to forget about the introduction of the North Korean Army and considers the firing of Arsenal's American missiles in the Bryansk region. Russia in the eyes of the world community after a strike by the RC-26 "Rubezh" in the capital of Ukraine is not justified by the goals, mistakes and other arguments. The use of weapons of mass destruction on civilians will inevitably cause the response of the civilized world, emphasizes the attention of Pavel Narozhny.

Focus earlier wrote why the Ukrainian military command was in no hurry to introduce additional warnings about the threat of a rocket strike of the Russian Federation in Kiev. The Kyiv City Military Administration advises to go to the shelter if the alarm signal. Military intelligence of Ukraine earlier reported that as of November 11, there were about 300 winged missiles X-101 in service with the army of the Russian Federation.
