Ukraine’s Weapon That Terrifies Russia Revealed
Putin’s Fear: Ukraine’s Homegrown Missiles Could Shift War’s Balance
Dnipro, Ukraine – Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed the recent strike on the “Oreshnik” industrial complex in Dnipro, a major Soviet-era arms manufacturing facility, was retaliation for Ukrainian attacks on Russian soil using Western-supplied missiles. However, experts suggest a deeper fear may be driving the Kremlin’s response.
the “Oreshnik” complex, which produces rockets and other weaponry, was targeted on November 21st.While Russia blames Ukraine’s use of US-made “ATACMS” missiles and British/French “Storm Shadow/SCALP” missiles, The Times reports that Putin’s regime is more concerned about a different threat: Ukraine developing its own long-range missiles.
Such a advancement would be a game-changer. it would free Ukraine from reliance on Western allies for long-range strike capabilities, possibly allowing them to target deep within Russian territory without facing the same restrictions imposed on Western-supplied weapons.
So far,Ukraine has only conducted attacks on Moscow using domestically-produced drones. however, a ballistic missile strike would be considerably more destructive and, therefore, a more effective deterrent against further Russian aggression.
Satellite imagery indicates that the damage to the “Oreshnik” complex was not extensive.
The facility is notable for its role in building the Soviet R-36 intercontinental ballistic missile, known in the West as the “Satan,” capable of obliterating any city in the United States.
