The video message from Russian dictator Vladimir Putin after the missile attack on the Ukrainian city of Dnieper provoked reactions not only in Russia and Ukraine, but also in other countries. After all, it is important to understand what exactly the Russian leader wanted to convey to the world.
BILD also analyzed this resource.
The publication recalls that Vladimir Putin issued a video message saying that the Ukrainian city of Dnepr was not hit by the RS-26 Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile, but by the new Oreshnik medium-range missile. The dictator draws attention to the fact that it reaches speeds of up to 3 km/s, so it cannot be intercepted. Putin called it “test in combat conditions” and threatened that Russia could attack “military facilities of those countries that allow their weapons to be used against our targets.”
Julian Röpke, open data analysis expert at BILD, sees all this as a sign of desperation.
“What appears to be a show of force by Kremlin villains is actually a sign of desperation. Because Putin’s army has hundreds of weapons systems that can attack the Ukrainian metropolis of Dnepr. Instead, the Russian ruler launched a multimillion-dollar test rocket from the Astrakhan region, located a thousand kilometers away. Their true objective is clear: to sow fear and terror among Western partners so that they suspend military assistance. [Украине]. Although the country has been resisting desperately and successfully for 32 months. This cynical calculation should not work. Instead, the motto after Putin’s propaganda missile should be: now more than ever!” concluded Röpke.
Recall that Kursor wrote that Russian President Vladimir Putin, during an emergency speech related to the use of long-range weapons on Russian territory, noted that on Tuesday, November 19, 6 ATACMS missiles were launched and on Thursday, November 21, Storm systems Shadow. where attacks were carried out on targets in the Kursk and Bryansk regions.
He also claimed that Russia carried out an attack on Yuzhmash using a ballistic missile with hypersonic equipment, but without a nuclear warhead. It is known that on November 21, the Russian army used the new medium-range Oreshnik system.
Russia claims that it has the right to use weapons against targets of those countries that allow Russian targets to be attacked from their territory. The latest Russian missiles are capable of reaching speeds of 2 to 3 kilometers per second, making them invulnerable to existing missile defense systems. In the event of an escalation of the conflict, the Russian Federation is ready to give a decisive and reflexive response.
