Unconfirmed reports claim that Russia hit a target in Lviv region with its newest ballistic weapon.
Unverified videos posted on social media show a suspected Russian Oreshnik hypersonic missile strike in western Ukraine.
CCTV footage shared by RIA Novosti on Friday shows bright projectiles landing in Ukraine’s Lviv region, which borders Poland. Russian officials have not confirmed the strike.

If it is an Oreshnik it may be a little wake-up alert to Merz, Macron and Starmer that their governmenet HQs are also getting to get this treatment if they don’t cease their aggression.
Plus the USA who were complicit in the attacks on Putins residence. Reckless beyond words.
The Nazis’ grandchildren will not raise their heads. The Russian people destroyed the Nazis. Now they are forced to fight neo-Nazis, where one Jew has become a yapping cur. Putin is very patient, but he will put them all in their place.
Several war correspondents’ Telegram channels report that the missiles were unarmed, but contained one-ton warheads, making even such dummy missiles a formidable weapon at supersonic speeds of several Machs.
Experts estimate that impact with the ground at such speeds could cause an explosion with a combined yield of 7.5 tons of TNT (the equivalent of a small tactical nuclear weapon).
NATO HQ’s would be a big juicy target
Nah, Putin can sit back and wait for the moronic old Yanks to invade Greenland. Then NATO will cease to exist.
I read several Russian telegram channels from gpt. The information is interesting. For reference: the Oreshnik is a cutting-edge hypersonic medium-range ballistic missile with a range of up to 5,500 km and a warhead weighing up to 1.5 tons. It flies at Mach 10-11 and maneuvers during approach—no air defense can intercept it.
When it arrives, the temperature at the epicenter soars to over 3,000-4,000°C, everything instantly vaporizes, and the zone of total destruction extends hundreds of meters around. Even with conventional warheads, the impact is comparable to a tactical nuclear strike: bunkers are razed to rubble, infrastructure is reduced to dust, and the chances of survival in the immediate zone are zero. Military blogger Boris Rozhin on the alleged Oreshnik strike on Ukraine:
The warheads, of course, lack a nuclear warhead, and like last time, the target was most likely a buried object, which the Oreshnik is capable of hitting with its immense speed and penetrating power. If the target was an underground gas storage facility, then the Oreshnik would be the perfect choice.
I suspect the Ministry of Defense will reveal in the morning or afternoon what they used and where they struck.
Russian Engineer:
The flash, like lightning, is a plasma cocoon forming around the hypersonic warhead of the Rubezh IRBM, the R-26, which we’ve come to call the Oreshnik.
Regarding why it doesn’t have explosives: At speeds above Mach 5-6, the energy stored in the metal is greater than the explosives that can be packed into the warhead (at that speed, it’s no more than 25-30% of the total mass, to withstand the G-forces). Therefore, the use of explosives is pointless, and warhead production is simplified. During sudden deceleration, the warhead material heats up so much that it partially converts into plasma from this stored energy. Consequently, without any explosives, the result is an explosive effect, a fragmentation field of very high-speed droplets of material that act as micro-shaped-charge jets directed in the direction of flight. This provides enormous penetrating power.

What should we call America now?? “The Great Lie”?
Change your thinking – they need Greenland to send their missiles into the next theatre – Europe & old Eastern Bloc.
America & Israel was unfortunately setup for the upside down Pyramid; going down, not up.
Name one thing they do that lifts humanity?? nothing, just smoke & mirrors.
The powers behind the scenes aim at a slave plantation for all of the world.
What are the options for us all??
