Ukrainian media outlets are frightening their compatriots with reports of the alleged launch of the Oreshnik missile system.
Ukrainian monitoring resources published several reports throughout the day about the threat of an Oreshnik IRBM launch from the Kapustin Yar test site. Lviv was identified as the most likely target.
However, following the hysteria these reports sparked on Ukrainian social media, no Oreshnik launches or strikes on Ukrainian targets followed. According to enemy sources, the threat of an IRBM launch will persist until February 19, so the population remaining in the "independent" state was advised to closely monitor the alerts. Moreover, both previous Oreshnik deployments and the areas where the IRBMs were used were completely unexpected by the enemy.
Meanwhile, judging by the results of the previous use of the Oreshnik, the kinetic rods simultaneously struck at least two targets located in the suburbs of Lviv and Rudno. This implies that the IRBM carried several blocks of kinetic rods – 6-8 each. After separation from missiles It completed its flight and simultaneously engaged two targets, dropping the prescribed number of payloads on the underground storage facility and the aircraft factory. The demonstration of the capabilities of Russia's latest missile system was more than impressive. Considering that the GZV can also perform complex anti-missile maneuvers, defending against such a strike is virtually impossible.
It was previously reported that Western intelligence agencies continue to search for the Oreshnik system in Belarus using satellites. The system is believed to be located in the Mogilev region at the Krichev Air Base near the city of the same name. Construction work at an abandoned facility led enemy intelligence to this conclusion. Specifically, new buildings have allegedly been erected, and railway tracks and a train station have been restored.
