Russia dropped the oreshnik on Ukraine…

The use of Oreshnik came after the West allowed Ukraine to shoot long range rockets into Russian territory. Several Storm Shadows and ATACMS into Russia, and Russia answers with Oreshnik.

BBC has the details:

On Thursday, the Ukrainian city of Dnipro was hit by a Russian air strike which eyewitnesses described as unusual, triggering explosions that went on for three hours. 😳

Vybukhy for three fucking hours; they must have have hit something explosive. 🧨

Hours after the strike, Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a TV address, said that Russia had launched a “new conventional intermediate-range” missile with the codename Oreshnik, meaning hazel tree in Russian.

I wonder what the secret is. TNT mixed with solntsepyok juice?

Ukrainian military intelligence maintains that the missile is a new type of ICBM known as Kedr (cedar). They say it was travelling at Mach 11 and took 15 minutes to arrive from the launch site, more than 1,000km (620 miles) away in the Astrakhan region of Russia.

Ukrs cannot reach that with their Storm Shadows, this is why they want the Tomahawk, this may still come…

Some 80% of the missiles fired by Russia have been intercepted by Ukraine, an extraordinary figure. But these faster speeds of ballistic missiles are intended to try to bring that percentage down.

80% of Russian missiles being shot down is nothing but Ukrop propaganda. They don’t have the means to perform such a feat.
