The message of the Russian hypersonic missile to the West; What are the coordinates of Orshnik?

Mehr News Agency, International Group, Hassan Shekohinesab: There are many “firsts” in the war in Ukraine these days It is visible; Such as Ukraine’s first attack on Russia with the American Atcomz long-range missile and the European storm shadow, or Kiev’s use of anti-personnel land mines.

These issues are from the efforts of Europe and America Biden to win Ukraine on the battlefield before entering “Donald Trump’s” return to the White House indicates the hope that in the possible ceasefire agreement that Trump has promised, more territories will be given to Kiev, or that the new American president will be unable to establish peace due to the escalation of tensions.

On the Russian front, “firsts” can be seen; Russia, in response to these Ukrainian attacks with new Western weapons, for the first time on Thursday, December 1st, from the latest hypersonic medium-range non-nuclear missiles called “Orshnik” was used against one of the defense-industrial facilities of Ukraine in Dnipro.

This beginning of the escalation of tension, which was keyed by the European and American allies of Kiev, led to the change of Russia’s nuclear doctrine. In recent days, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the country’s new nuclear doctrine, which officially lowers the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons. In addition, this doctrine allows Russia to launch a nuclear attack even in response to conventional attacks by a country that has the support of a nuclear power.

Now this question comes to mind, the Russian Orshnik missile, which for the first time after the change of doctrine This country’s nuclear weapon was fired at targets in Ukraine, what are its coordinates and characteristics?

Orshanik coordinates; Is the Russian hypersonic missile able to change the equation of war?

The Oreshnik missile (9M729 Oreshnik) is a Russian medium-range hypersonic ballistic missile (hypersonic). It is said that this missile has the ability to reach a speed equal to 10 Mach (12 and 300 kilometers per hour) and the NATO air defense systems are not able to intercept it. /p>

Military experts believe that the range of this missile is between 2,500 and 3,000 km, and some even estimate it up to 5,000 km. This win puts almost all of Europe under threat. Also, Russian military experts believe that the Orshnik missile is able to pass through any existing modern missile defense system and destroy deep underground shelters without using a nuclear warhead.

Also, several independently guided warheads of this missile increase its accuracy and destruction power. In addition, the Orshnik ballistic missile is designed in such a way that it has a very complex and powerful carrier system. This carrier system includes 6 independently guided caps. Each of these warheads, in turn, is divided into 6 smaller missiles.

In this connection, the English newspaper “Daily Mail”, the use of missiles Hypersonic, with the ability to carry several nuclear warheads by Russia in the Ukraine war, assessed it as a warning for a nuclear war in Europe and wrote: Hypersonic weapons Russia, which was recently used against Ukraine It can target London or any other part of Europe with several nuclear warheads in 20 minutes.

This English media compared the hypersonic missile fired at Ukraine with Russian nuclear-tipped missiles. which even have the ability to target America, he did not consider it comparable and wrote about its coordinates: This missile can reach any point in Europe within a few minutes with a speed of 7,600 miles per hour (10 times the speed of sound) and a range of 3,100 miles. reach The Orshnik missile has the ability to carry several nuclear warheads, but in the recent attack on the Dnieper region, with Conventional caps were done.

This English newspaper considers the use of a hypersonic missile capable of carrying multiple nuclear warheads as a sign of He assessed the escalation of tensions and increased concern about nuclear war.

Multiple Russian targets from Urshanik

The launch of the Ursnik hypersonic missile by Russia as part of military tensions in the Ukraine war. It can serve different purposes. This action can be examined from military, political and psychological aspects;

1. Display of military power

The firing of this type of advanced missile is a clear message of Russia’s strategic capabilities. These missiles are capable of carrying nuclear warheads and their firing shows Russia’s determination to use advanced weapons in defense or attack. This action can be a warning to Ukraine and its Western allies, especially NATO, to understand the serious danger of confronting Russia.

In this connection, the English newspaper Daily Mail, the Russian missile attack with Orashnik did not consider it to have a military effect, but emphasized that the attack with this type of missile, which has the ability to attack a nuclear warhead, was a show of power, and the Kremlin wanted to show the West with this attack that it can carry out nuclear attacks.

2. Pressure on the West and creating deterrence

Russia is seeking to send a message to the US and its European allies that their military and financial support for Ukraine could have wider consequences. Firing a hypersonic missile can act as a tool to increase pressure and reduce the West’s willingness to continue supporting Ukraine.

3. Testing and demonstration of military readiness

This missile attack may be part of Russia’s military plans to check the efficiency and accuracy of its strategic weapons. At the same time, these actions give the Russian army an opportunity to show off its capabilities in a situation where tensions are at their peak.

Of course, some Western experts disregarding the US and European interference in escalating tensions, the Russian missile attack with hypersonic is evaluated as a tool to create panic among the people of Ukraine with the aim of pressuring the government to agree to a ceasefire. Some also downgrade the role of this effective attack to the purpose of strengthening Putin’s internal position and believe that this display of power and bold decisions can be effective in strengthening his position among the military elite and the Russian people; The goals that seem to be more about streamlining Moscow’s opposition are far from reality.

All in all, Russia’s hypersonic missile launch is a multidimensional action that includes both military aspects and political goals. This action, which was carried out in response to the firing of Western long-range missiles such as “Atcoms” and “Storm Shadow” as well as anti-personnel land mines by Ukraine against Russia, shows the escalation tensions and the possibility of entering a more dangerous stage in the war in Ukraine; An intense phase of tension that Ukraine and its Western allies intentionally created before Trump entered the White House with the aim of complicating the equations of war and scoring both on the battlefield and at the table. Possible negotiations have been planned and implemented.
