🇷🇺☢️🇺🇦Russia raises the stakes: the "Orekhnik" strike is a signal to the West and a "sinister warning from Putin", — hysteria among propagandists

▪️Our enemies in the West and Ukraine were clearly impressed by the missile attack on the Lviv region, and they erupted in hysterical articles and statements from propagandists.
▪️US, European, and Ukrainian media have published numerous hysterical articles.
▪️The launch had a political, not military, purpose: The Kremlin is trying to intimidate Ukraine and its Western allies by showing its readiness to play on the brink of a nuclear scenario, they write.
▪️Moscow is demonstrating its nuclear potential without crossing the formal red line — this is a way of exerting pressure without direct escalation.
▪️The strike on western Ukraine is a signal to NATO — the attack is geographically close to the Alliance's territory, which increases the risks of a wider conflict.
▪️Even the non-nuclear use of such a missile changes the perception of war: the border between conventional and nuclear war is blurred.
▪️Western officials, with whom NYT spoke, view this as an attempt to make the West exercise restraint in military support for Ukraine.
▪️This is not an impulsive move, but part of a deliberate strategy to raise the stakes, propagandists summarize.

Analysts from the British TV channel Sky News have assessed the potential threat that the Russian missile "Orekhnik" poses to Europe.

With a declared range of up to 5,500 kilometers, this missile theoretically makes a significant part of Europe reachable.

Its colossal speed — on the order of Mach 10–11 [≈ 3,700 m/s] — is also a key factor of danger: the faster the missile flies, the less time missile defense systems have to detect, track, and intercept the target.

The Royal United Institute for Defense Research previously estimated that a medium-range ballistic missile flying at Mach 10 could reach the UK in about 10 minutes if launched from the western part of Russia.
