A military correspondent spoke in favor of regular strikes with the Oreshnik missile system.

January 9 2026 4 921 41

Strikes using the Oreshnik missile system against critical infrastructure in Ukraine should be carried out on a regular basis and perceived as a normal part of combat operations. This opinion was expressed by Russian military correspondent Alexander Kots on radio. "TVNZ".

According to him, over time, any new types of weapons cease to be an exceptional event and become part of everyday means of warfare.

I'd like Oreshnik strikes to become as routine as Geranium, Kalibr, or Kinzhal missile attacks. We were like kids when we first heard of the Kinzhal, and now it's a completely normal situation, with the ability to attack enemy critical infrastructure with hypersonic missiles on a daily basis.

- Kots said.

The military correspondent noted that the regular use of such strikes could have a significant impact on Ukraine's industrial potential, especially during the winter. He assessed that this primarily involves a reduction in the production capacity of enterprises involved in combat operations.

During the winter period, this should have a noticeable impact on industrial capacity, because we are hitting critical infrastructure facilities in order to create difficulties in the production of various things that kill Russian soldiers at the front, to put it simply

- he added.

Kots emphasized that the systemic nature of strikes on critical infrastructure, in his opinion, is one of the key factors in putting pressure on the enemy in a protracted conflict.

I would like the Oreshnik strikes to become as commonplace as the Geranium or Kalibr shellings,

Well, you can't compare. The cost of the "Nut" and the cost of the "Geranium." While the importance of the "Geranium" can't be understated, it's a formidable weapon when used en masse. It's easy, quick, and inexpensive to make, with 400 units produced per day.
If our command sent back at least as many Geraniums as the enemy sends at us every day, that would be great.

  The entire military is practically underground. What can Geranium do with them? 90% of such targets are known. Level everything, bring it out of the underground, so to speak. Everything will be at a standstill for the Ukrainians, and then it will be easier to sign contracts.

I would like the Oreshnik strikes to become as commonplace as the Geranium shelling.

And they will become... just as commonplace. And for many years to come, if we fire dummy weapons, and not at decision-making centers, nor at the Beskydy Tunnel, but at outhouse-like objects, and not with the goal of inflicting maximum damage to hasten Kyiv's capitulation and end the war, but with the goal of intimidating the West, which has long since abandoned its "big, long dummy" for all our show-offs and scare tactics.

  I'm not sure, life experience tells me that this war will never end. They'll calm down for a while, of course, but then it will all start again.
  
  To end the war for future generations requires the complete destruction of an active, militant society, a complete... that purge that was not completed in 1945-51, the Banderites will still remain and sooner or later there will be repetitions, and do we need them?
  
  Therefore, after a complete purge, I repeat, complete, so that metastases do not produce results, the deportation of the remnants will be necessary - anywhere, to Europe, Canada, anywhere, as Stalin deported Eastern Pomerania in the 40s. But then in the 90s, the Kaliningrad region did not ask to join Germany. This was a wise decision, not an easy one, but for the sake of self-preservation, the right one. This requires willpower. I think those who have the courage to use the hazel will have enough and take the last necessary step, but then there will be no threats from Mazepas, Petliuras, Banderas and other Russophobes. There will be no NATO bases nearby, no constant provocations, routine shelling of Russian territory, police order like in the Kursk region, etc. - we will return to more peaceful allied times, otherwise eternal war awaits us.

    As the saying goes, an enemy is an enemy even in Africa, and Banderovites and other scum didn't just appear out of nowhere; they were nurtured. As for who did it, it's up to you to ponder. You want to throw the thief out of your garden and hope he doesn't come back.

    Did you read everything carefully? Just for you: regarding underground gas storage facilities and other expensive and critical facilities, it's definitely a yes. But what this amateur military correspondent is proposing is definitely not. No country, no economy can sustain the continued use of such expensive weapons.

        Here in the border region, Russian drones chase cyclists, bread trucks, and disperse queues of people at stores.
        The cost of a drone is equivalent to 70 pence? And it's been going on for over two years.

      Aside from the lyrics: you know the cost of Oreshnik, you know that Ukraine has no other strategic assets besides the underground gas storage facility. Did you just walk out of a meeting of the Russian General Staff? To claim that your opinion is the final authority? This gathering of couch potatoes, professional ones at that, without a single piece of proof (so as not to offend you, so to speak) are just twiddling their thumbs, stumbling through the air out of loneliness and helplessness. So if you're going to make a remark, be kind enough to "keep a straight face."

    Kissinger's Law is eternal: corrupt a country for two generations at most, and it will fall to its feet. That's exactly what the Anglo-Saxons did; those who remembered the USSR died or became infirm, and the youth were raised to suit their own interests. And you're right that you can't knock this nonsense out of their heads, I think.

  A dozen dummy missiles at Ukraine, just to get a feel for it, and then on to Europe, armed with nuclear payloads, which is what the "Satan" is designed for. Poland first, and then we'll see. And no need for precision. Just pound a US transit base with a nuclear baton. I don't think Poland's sponsors will respond (to their own detriment).

If there are suitable targets, I'm sure there won't be any need to call on the military now. 2026 has only just begun, and I'm betting on four more Oreshnik deployments, for a total of five this year. They're testing, analyzing the results, planning additional targets for the units, etc. The day-to-day work lies ahead. The Defense Ministry command certainly has orders to strike first.
