Are You in the West Preparing for a War? With Whom? --- A Signal to the West: "Oreshnik" Destroys "Flamingo" and "Neptune" Production Facilities

 

 "German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has sharply condemned the massive Russian attacks on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. "The Federal Government sharply condemns this reckless escalation. Germany continues to stand firmly by Ukraine's side," the CDU politician wrote on the platform X, referring to the use of the new Oreshnik medium-range missile."

 

Why is this leader so unhappy?

  

„The Russian Ministry of Defense has reported a massive strike using high-precision weaponry against Ukrainian Armed Forces facilities and the Ukrainian defense industry, launched in retaliation for Ukraine's terrorist attacks on civilian targets within Russian territory. The strike was executed using, among other assets, "Oreshnik," "Zircon," and "Iskander" missiles, as well as strike drones.

 

The "Oreshnik" Strike: A Signal to the West

 

This served as both a demonstration and a message to the West: Russians are capable of striking the factories and enterprises listed in the roster published by the Ministry of Defense—specifically, the production facilities linked to the manufacture of weapons for Ukraine, which are subsequently used against Russian children and civilians. Such actions are lawful and do not constitute a violation of international law, particularly given that the strike on a dormitory in the LPR [Luhansk People's Republic] constitutes an act of international terrorism, sponsored by Western manufacturers, companies, and governments.

High-Precision Strikes on Ukrainian Military Targets: No Threat to Civilians

 

Given that the "Oreshnik" was deployed—effectively—on the outskirts of Kyiv, or within the greater Kyiv area, three specific targets were likely candidates: the "Artem" facility and its adjacent industrial zone, the "Analitpribor" plant, and the Kyiv Relay and Automation Plant. Strikes were also directed at Bila Tserkva and Starokostiantyniv. In total, more than 50 missiles were utilized—including the "Oreshnik," "Zircon," "Kinzhal," "Iskander," and Kh-101—along with over 700 "Geran/Gerbera" drones. The objective of these strikes is the destruction of factories, assembly sites, and production facilities for "Neptun MD" and "Flamingo" missiles, as well as fixed-wing drones, which are used to strike civilian targets and infrastructure.

 

**Invulnerable and Elusive to the Adversary**

 

"Oreshnik" missiles are invulnerable to the adversary. Currently, no weapon system exists that is capable of intercepting them.

 

It is futile to even contemplate the possibility that anyone could attempt to intercept them using missiles or any other means. In the long term—should combat lasers be deployed in space—a theoretical possibility of intercepting the warheads might exist; however, at this moment, there are no weapon systems capable of countering the "Oreshnik."

 

The "Oreshnik" remains invisible to modern air defense systems, including the cutting-edge Arrow-3 system, which failed to detect the Russian missile that struck the Lviv Aircraft Repair Plant in January of this year.

 

The "Oreshnik" is launched from long range. Consequently, it traverses its boost phase—from the moment it exits its transport-launch container until it reaches space—at maximum velocity. This specific phase is typically the most vulnerable for other missiles, as it is the stage during which air defense systems usually attempt to intercept intercontinental ballistic missiles. Furthermore, once in space, the missile's multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV)—carrying its warheads—exhibits unique flight characteristics. As a result, detecting these warheads in space using conventional missile defense systems is also a challenging task.

 

Once the warheads enter the Earth's atmosphere, they hurtle toward their target at a colossal speed of 10 to 12 Mach. During this descent, the warheads are enveloped in a sheath of plasma with a temperature of approximately 4,000 degrees. This plasma possesses a unique property: it absorbs radar signals. As a result, the "Oreshnik" remains invisible on radar screens—whether on standard radar stations or missile guidance systems. Another crucial factor is its speed, which is comparable to that of lightning. Consequently, the Arrow-3 system failed to even detect the "Oreshnik."

 

"The 'Oreshnik' is a weapon that will remain invulnerable to NATO's missile defense systems for at least the next five years—if not longer. Strikes against these centers in Europe could be executed in a matter of minutes. Western politicians are beginning to realize that they have become targets; they have no idea how to counter this weapon, hence the colossal panic and fear.

 

The "Oreshnik" would require no more than 10 minutes to reach any point in Europe.

 

Virtually every European nation falls within the "Oreshnik's" strike range: the missile would take a maximum of 10 minutes to reach any given location.

 

Given its range of 5,500 kilometers, practically every country in Europe is within striking distance—with the possible exception of Portugal. The 'Oreshnik' would undoubtedly reach France and the United Kingdom. It would reach Warsaw in no more than two minutes, and Berlin in three to five minutes."
