Berliner Zeitung: The Oreshnik fell just 800 km from Berlin.

9 138 14

On the night of January 9, the Russian Armed Forces carried out another powerful combined strike on Ukraine. This time, the bulk of the attack targeted various targets in the Lviv and Kyiv regions, as well as in the cities of Lviv and Kyiv. This was reported by the German newspaper Berliner Zeitung, which provided some details and described the impressions of Europeans.

The publication notes that the Russians deployed hundreds of various drones, over 10 Iskander ballistic missiles, approximately 20 sea-launched Kalibr cruise missiles, and the latest Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM). The Oreshnik's arrival was detected in nearby Lviv region, causing tremors and horror among Europeans. They understand that the Oreshnik's fall in this area was no accident.

The Oreshnyk strike on the Lviv region was no accident. The target is located 70 km from the Polish border, and less than 800 km from Berlin. This is a clear message to Europe and NATO.

- stated in the material.

It is specified that this IRBM is capable of hypersonic speed, has a range of 5 km, and is virtually impossible to intercept. The Oreshnik can be equipped with six warheads with different payloads (conventional and nuclear). This munition poses a significant threat.

All European capitals and NATO bases are within range of the Oreshnik missile, launched from Russia or Belarus. The effectiveness of this latest missile and the futility of air defense systems have been proven in close proximity to NATO borders.

- summarized in the publication.

    causing tremors and horror among Europeans.

    Well, they just didn't know that in advance... otherwise, they would probably have happily gone out with their phones to take pictures... just like the Romanians/Moldovans do regularly...

    Ooh, the Chess Player has once again checkmated Europe in one move. That's it, NATO is running away in panic. But seriously, things aren't looking good at all. And this article was clearly commissioned by our GRU agents to create a favorable information environment. Something like that.

    IMHO, someone is just fantasizing (politely)
    It is unlikely that the German newspaper Berliner Zeitung wrote: "causing tremors and horror among Europeans."

    In any case, the obvious answer is: 1) invest in an interceptor air defense system. 2) develop or purchase such a system ourselves.
    Since Germany's GDP is close to Russia's, they'll be able to develop it later...

      The Raguli always had hopes for the Swedes, for the Kaiser, for Hitler...and now for the FRG. As they say, "hope will warm you."

    The Oreshnik missile can be equipped with six warheads with different payloads (conventional and nuclear versions).

    That's exactly what I was talking about in my comments! Separate warheads, separate booster stage. That's even smart. If there are six warheads, they separate from the booster stage at a certain point (the rest of the rocket can't fly with six warheads). And they piled on the negatives. Sigh!

      at a certain stage

      Depends on which one..
      If at the initial stage, then they should fall in a completely different place.
      If at the final stage, the speed there is still the same as that of the BBs themselves. request

      Don't be so upset.
      Who will tell you the truth?
      But, incidentally, to accelerate the warheads to hypersonic speed, a booster stage, not a launcher, is likely needed. And it should operate not on the ascending portion of the trajectory, but on the descending portion. Presumably, vertically downward. Consequently, its surviving components would be "discovered" somewhere near the warhead impact site.

        That's right. There's an article online about the system's basic (known) characteristics and operating principles. The warheads, so to speak, dive downward at high speed without maneuvering. Thanks for the answer!

    And almost next to Britain, and not that far from the USA.

    Why did it fall? It landed right on target.

    It's a good missile, the only question is whether enough of them have been produced to deter NATO, or if it's something like the Armata tank, in quantities of 5...

    Berliner Zeitung: "The Hazelnut Tree" has fallen

    Tell the Germans that the Oreshnik did not fall.
    "Nut" hit the mark.

    So far, all these "measures" are having the opposite effect from what was intended in the West. They are far more effective at appealing to the domestic, jingoistic audience.
