Russian special military operation in Ukraine #62

https://x.com/MyLordBebo/status/1859601062123966526

IMPORTANT: Russia’s ICBM launch at Ukraine has triggered early warning systems today and such launches are by default assumed to be nuclear.

So for a short moment US and Europe thought Russia is nuking Ukraine.

They only knew that it was not nuclear by checking if the city Dnipro is still physically there after the impacts.

-> Essentially, If Russia decides to nuke Ukraine … the west will watch.

Second important thing to note, Russia has proven that it can deliver a conventional or nuclear payload to any place without a problem.

Russian military controls most of Dzerzhinsk, 11.21.2024.

Pushilin's Advisor: Russian Armed Forces Control Most of Dzerzhinsk in the DPR.

MOSCOW, November 21 — RIA Novosti. Russian troops have liberated most of Dzerzhinsk (Ukrainian name — Toretsk) in the DPR, said Igor Kimakovsky, adviser to the head of the republic, on air at Soloviev Live.

"We are systematically and effectively putting pressure on the enemy. <...> If we take Chasov Yar , we are backing up the enemy in the industrial zone and there the enemy is also showing clear gaps. We are also working very effectively against the enemy in the Toretsk area. The enemy has 30-40% of the settlement left, according to various estimates," he noted.

Kimakovskiy added that Russian troops have also cleared the northern shore of the Kurakhovskoye Reservoir of Ukrainian forces. In addition, fighters from the "Centre" group of troops are pushing the enemy back in the direction of Pokrovsk (the Ukrainian name for Krasnoarmeysk. - Ed.).

The day before, the Defence Ministry reported that units of the Centre group of forces had defeated the manpower and equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces brigades in a number of populated areas, including Dzerzhinsk. In addition, they managed to repel 12 counterattacks by Ukrainian formations.

The enemy lost up to 390 servicemen, a Cossack combat armored vehicle, two vehicles, a US-made M777 howitzer, three D-30 howitzers, a D-20 gun, and an Msta-B howitzer.

Dzerzhinsk is a powerful fortified area with a developed railway network, where Ukrainian militants have been entrenched since 2014. It is from here that Gorlovka, one of the largest cities in the DPR, is regularly shelled.

Taking control of the city will facilitate the supply of Russian troops along the Donetsk-Gorlovka- Artemovsk road section , and will also allow the enemy group in Kleshcheyevka to be threatened from behind. In addition, from here it will be possible to develop an offensive to the northwest - towards Konstantinovka.

Those impacts seem to have been in different places, must have done a lot of damage.

The perceived wisdom on destroying or knocking out of action an airfield is that you need a nuke.

One of these would appear to be a possible interesting alternative. Perhaps deployed against the next airfield to host a Storm Shadow launch aircraft, as an experiment of course .

The last time I have read about kinetic bombardment, was Star risk by Chris Bunch ...

Lost in the PR of the big strike was this lot

A massive strike on targets in Ukraine has been reported.

Power outages in Kyiv, Kyiv, Odessa and Dnepropetrovsk regions; facility in Dnepr damaged

According to Ukrainian data, the following were used:

Kh-101/55 cruise missiles launched by Tu-95MS aircraft from the Saratov region
- ballistic missile 9m723 OTRK "Iskander-M"
- probably the Kh-47m2 aeroballistic supersonic missile of the Kinzhal complex;

The PR slippery slope has no mercy once you are yesterday's man

In general, this can be afforded thanks to the high speed of the IRBM and very good accuracy. And the whole technique.

Some years ago I went to Madrid and there was a crudely painted hammer and sickle and under that was written Viva Stalin. Wouldn't it be hilarious if that was still there and this clown got washed away?

I really don't like this situation. Now long range missiles are fired. Somebody has shit in his pants this morning, when blip has appeared on the early warning screen. When does this escalation circle calm down? Hopefully soon.

The system name is Oreshnyk...

New IRBM

Yup. One of new, as VVP said



Terminal speed is 2-3 km/s.
I will add the news from the Putin's speech, OK?

Edit :
Sorry, wrong one.

There is a part that shocked me today, aside of strikes on 404 ...

It was a sort of mutual explain made by Orban, Vucic and Fico.
In theory, they have been talking a different things - but that combines somehow.
Orban announced an end of half millennia western world domination, based on "agreement" that the west is the best, the wisest, most phantastic, and the wealthiest. He called that a fading away delusion, and announced an era of Euroasia.
Vucic stated, that anyone who considers that Russia won't use any weapon at disposal facing a threat - must have a zero knowledge of Putin.
Fico stated, that Kosovo je Srbja.

How do you think, those tiny countries would carry themself so much independently, without knowing ... something?

Putin: Russia Strikes Ukrainian Defense Facility With New Oreshnik Ballistic Missile, 11.21.2024.

President Putin announced that Russia's Armed Forces carried out a combined strike using the latest Oreshnik medium-range missile against a Ukrainian defence industry facility in response to American and British weapon strikes on Russian territory.

Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the personnel of the Russian Armed Forces and the citizens of Russia to provide an update on events in the area of the special military operation.

"I want to inform the personnel of the Russian Armed Forces, the citizens of our country, our friends around the world, as well as those who still harbor illusions about the possibility of delivering a strategic defeat to Russia, about the events currently unfolding in the zone of the special military operation, particularly in light of the use of long-range Western-made weapons against our territory," Putin said in his address on Thursday.

Long-range Western-made missiles targeted military facilities in Russia’s Kursk and Bryansk regions.

"On November 19, six ATACMS tactical missiles produced in the United States, and on November 21, during a combined missile attack, Storm Shadow systems produced in the United Kingdom struck military targets on Russian territory in the Bryansk and Kursk regions," Putin said.

However, Russia’s air defense systems intercepted the attacks, and the adversary failed to achieve its objectives, Putin added.
"Our air defense systems repelled these attacks," the president stated. "As a result, the objectives clearly set by the adversary were not achieved."

Western long-range missile strikes on Russian territory have given the conflict in Ukraine a global dimension, Putin noted in the address.

"From this moment, as we have repeatedly emphasized, the conflict in Ukraine, provoked earlier by the West, has acquired global characteristics," he stressed.

The use of Western long-range missiles against Russia will not affect the course of the special military operation (SMO), Putin assured.

"I want to emphasize once again that the adversary’s use of such weapons cannot influence the course of hostilities in the special military operation zone," he said in his statement. "Our forces are advancing successfully along the entire line of contact. All the objectives we set for ourselves will be accomplished."

Further details for the Oreshnik:

Putin announces the test of a novel Russian ballistic missile against Ukraine, 11.21.2024.

Putin has addressed a message to the nation following Kiev's attacks with long-range weapons.

Russia launched an attack on a Ukrainian target with a new medium-range missile on Thursday, in response to Ukraine's attacks on internationally recognized Russian territory, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced. This is a combined attack launched by the Russian army on Thursday against one of the facilities of the Ukrainian defense industrial complex.

"One of the newest Russian medium-range missile systems was tested in combat conditions. In this case, with a ballistic missile in a non-nuclear hypersonic equipment," Putin announced, adding that the missile has been named Oreshnik (Walnut orchard).

"The tests were successful. The goal of the launch has been achieved. On the territory of Ukraine, in the city of Dnepropetrovsk, one of the largest known industrial complexes since the time of the Soviet Union, which today produces missile technology and other weapons, was attacked," the Russian president said.

Putin also stressed that there are currently no means to counter such weapons. "The missiles strike targets at a speed of Mach 10, from 2.5 to 3 kilometres per second. The modern air defence systems available in the world and the missile defence system created by the Americans in Europe do not intercept these missiles. This is impossible," he said.

According to the Russian president, "the development of intermediate- and short-range missiles is carried out in response to American plans to produce and deploy intermediate- and short-range missiles in Europe and in the Asia-Pacific region."

In the early morning of November 19, the FF.AA. the Ukrainian armed Forces have carried out an attack with ATACMS on a military installation in the Russian province of Bryansk. In addition, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on Thursday that, over the past 24 hours, Russian air defence systems shot down two British-made Storm Shadow cruise missiles.

Don't get overexcited.
First, Patriot was called to be taken down by assisting Kinzhals.

Second, if we take Putins words as granted - a 3km/s speed range and we consider solid a 200 kg warhead weight ... well ... 0.2T per warhead. 200 kilos.
