ORESHNIK Attack: Nobody Noticed This.

[@aproxy7263]

I thought the ICMB attack was pretty major thing and I was surprised how quickly the MSM got over it. I assume the reason was that they don't really want to talk about it, but also couldn't ignore it. So they sort of brushed it off as "nothing to see here folks, Oreshnik-missiles are too expensive, yada yada". Meanwhile, the US has been firing tomahawk missiles at goatherders for two decades. I think the attack caused a major stir among NATO strategists.

Not really. It’s just a modified ICBM missing one stage and adding some extra payload. The payload itself is dumb. What we saw was essentially man made meteorites. They are damaging, but not as big a deal as a several 1000Kg glide bomb which is also impossible to stop. It’s a bit of a flop.

@@charleswood2182 I wouldn't say that is true. The U.S. and Germany fielded the Pershing II ground launched MRBM in the 1980s. There is absolutely no reason a conventional warhead with MIRVs could not have been attached to it. There have also been variants of the Trident SLBM launched with conventional warheads. As we speak, the U.S. is getting ready to field its "Dark Eagle" hypersonic boost-glide vehicle which will serve the same purpose of Oreshnik, and it will also be able to be fired by Army artillery in a ground launched setting, as well as from Navy surface ships. Oreshnik doesn't necessarily represent new technology, but it does represent innovative technology and a great example of systems integration. Now that the cat is out of the bag, it's fairly easy to create a weapon that does the same thing with systems that already exist.

No so fast. Let me remember that the key to a nuclear response is not in Europe, but on the other side of the ocean, in the USA. It was already quite doubtful that a nuclear attack against strategic objectives in Germany, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, etc. would be immediately responded by a nuclear attack from Washington, assuming, without hesitation, the nuclear retaliation against the United States territory.

Both east and west have had hypersonic missiles for many decades now. How do you think we sent men to the moon and put satellites in orbit? We've achieved hypersonic speeds a long, long time ago. The key difference is that the new "hypersonic" missiles don't follow the classic ballistic arc, rather, that they maneuver. This complicates the intercept considerably and makes "hypersonic" missiles a problem.

[@Millennium7HistoryTech]

[@libertarianbydefault]

The thing is, the Ukrainians make claims of pretty much anything they feel creative about on any given day. Then you see the destruction and impact that the strikes have and one has to wonder: "If you are so great at intercepting these, how come all your industry, power generation, military facilities are battered so badly?". Not talking about Kinzhals and Zirkons, but in general. I am pretty sure that 'some' of the slower missiles and drones get intercepted, but the Ukrainian AD cannot really boast any meaningful performance at this point in time. Of course, the MSM will spread any and all claims of miracles made by official Ukraine, hence the often ludicrous numbers (like 31K Ukrainian soldiers KIA that Zelensky reported a few months back and everyone ran with it).

[@nfineon]

You should cover the atmospheric skimming ability of the missile, which means it has _plasma stealth_ at high mach, further hiding it from radar and extending the range by using the atmosphere like a surf board on water. All EM signals are blocked by plasma so no radar return on atmospheric transit or terminal descent, basically invisible to ground based radar (but not IR). Nevermind that anyway as you can't stop this with traditional missile defense system. Ted Postol (MIT prof) has some very detailed breakdowns of the mechanisms he believe are in play and theres a lot more to the Oreshnik coming out. If 1 warhead = 100kg then Kinetic Energy @ mach 10 (3.313km/s) = 548.8 MJ = 131 kg of TnT × 36 warheads = 4,716 kg of TnT So the impact energy alone is already equivilent to 4.7 tons of TnT, essentially a FAB 5000, but with no explosive core. Edit: It appears the kenetic energy of impact is greater than an equivilent mass of explosive, by approx 1.5x, so it's actually better to increase the mass using something like Tungsten or Depleted Uranium which is extremely dense as KE = 1/2 Mass × Velocity². TnT has far less density, less mass per volume than a metal, so it looks like they went with a full kinetic impactor approach replacing traditional explosives. They could greatly increase the KE of each warhead if they used just 6 sub munitions (instead of 36), increasing the mass of each impactor by at least 6 fold and reducing the bus complexity.

[@Millennium7HistoryTech]

There is no documentation of the skimming that I know. I believe it is a low semi-ballistic trajectory. I may be wrong, but that is what I could understand.

But look at the near vertical trajectory of the projectiles. This was a conventional ballistic missile, fired at short range so very high trajectory.

You need to allow some weight for the guidance and bus systems though, don't think you'll get an actual payload of 36 off 100kgs warheads. I calculated that 100 kgs ot tungsten moving at Mach 10 would have the same energy as 138 kgs of TNT, but the energy would act in a very different way, the tungsten warhead will penetrate what it hits and keep moving until all energy is expended, conventional explosives will produce a circular shock wave and fragment dispersal if using proximity fusing.

Have reusable booster launch the warhead payload, and then after booster separates it can land back on ground (or on barge, or on TEL vehicle) Booster can thus be recovered and prepped for re-use. This can help lower the costs of WW3. (We won't worry about how to make WW4 cheaper, since that will be fought with sticks and stones anyway.)_*

[@larsnystrom6698]

On the contrary. A decapitation first strike is what the USA/NATO has been maneuvering for since 1990. That's what the NATO expansion has been all about. The last step was to get into Ukraine, well within reach of Moscow. This has been obvious to me long before the Ukraine coup of 2014. I guess Russia has seen it too, but was too weak to do anything about it. Well, they aren't too weak now. The range and speed of missiles is increasing. I wonder what Russia think about all those NATO military bases, and how Oreshnik could be used against them. A small change in strategy, isn't it? 🙂

[@captainotto]

The problem with a conventional decapitation strike is that it is completely indistinguishable from a nuclear strike and would automatically warrant a full nuclear counterstrike on detection. And detection would inevitably be seen during boost phase of the launch vehicles. So you’re still at the same place you started when you had the nuclear decap option.

[@WanderfalkeAT]

On ICBM's flying from one continent to the other - You would be right! But this is more like a Kinshal or SCUD! NATO can very well see that the Missile is not Intercontinental! And decapitation here is used to decapitate NATO forces in and around Ukraine. Destroying Railway Hub's, Airbases, Warehouses, Bunkers, Air Defenses, Energy Production and Delivery inside and close to Ukraine. It is more like NATO is a Soldier entering a Room and the lights go out.

[@CatOfSchroedinger]

3:17 - I do not agree with this one assessment: 1) based on the warhead weight limitations, I am not sure if a decapitation strike as described is actually possible, if it were to be made with a conventional warhead 2) based on the Cuba Crisis scenario we know that the Sowjet (now Russian) nuclear doctrine was always "responsive / second strike" while it was the NATO doctrine that was always "aggressive / first strike" and the US was always afraid of Russia changing this doctrine, which was what actually triggered the crisis. 3) Even the current changes are not indicative of a real "first-strike" scenario from the side of Russia (always ignoring the comments and grandstanding calls from overzealous NPCs on both sides). We should remember that, when the US flew its planes over the discovered launch sites over Cuba and the military brass was salivating for a "preemptive strike" on this site, the Russian commanders did NOT launch the nukes, as the Generals totally forgot the possibility that the first site they had discovered was not the first site ready to launch. So the standing orders have been reactive and this has not (yet) changed. Therefore, the fact that Russia has developed the capability of a decapitation strike should not be intermixed with the implication that such a strike would be an indication of a doctrine change towards a first-strike scenario. The warhead capabilities of such a "limited range" rocket rather point to a continuation of the second strike doctrine, but with sharper teeth. If Russia and its to-be-defended territories of the nuclear umbrella (e.g. Belarus) are attacked, either by massive assault or by "slowly cooking the frog", then the answer will be in accordance with the capabilities laid out: nuclear, not conventional. (oops, you actually explained that part about reactive nuclear doctrine just a few sentences later, my bad. I am still very sceptical about the non-nuclear warhead on the Oreshnik to take out mostly hardened military structures.)

[@Intelligence_Failure]

regarding the solid kinetic warheads, I have two thoughts: 1) they're most likely almost indestructible because they're solid metal with no explosive core and little to no cavity inside, so exploding ratherthan direct-hitting interceptors would barely even be able to cause them to tumble 2) if they are fired at airfield runways, they will bury themselves so deep in the grouns thatthey are extremely cumbersome to remove, and filling in and pavi g overthe holes would be a very uninviting prospect due to the possibility that the warhwads actually turn out to contain explosive charges on multi-day delays. so in practice, these could make an airfield take exceptionally long to repair or dangerous to use. I suppose one could load every buried warhead with a shaped demotilion charge and bl°w them up to ensure that any explosives inside are taken care of, but then you would be left with pretty massive deep holes to fill, which still would take a while.

They are still in the “test” phase of Oreshnik. Their own admission, not speculation by the West/NATO. (Trust that as you will….) The Oreshnik is a mod of the RS26 missile system, iirc. A Very recent addition to the arsenal. To call it “produceable at scale” would be a stretch at this time. Also… It was designed to carry nuclear warheads. Not conventional. Therefore it took them a while to replace the nuclear element with the simple kinetic penatrators that we saw being used. On that point… (Going back to the test phase statement…) One might ask, “why not conventional explosives in the strike, instead of simple kinetic units?” Simple answer. If you’re in the test phase of a missile program and you are at “test launch” status, you aren’t going to have explosive re-entry units on board said missile. You’ll have simple kinetic penatrators that won’t contribute to an explosion should the test launch go badly. (As we witnessed a month or so ago with the failed test launch of the Satan II ICBM. You know? The one that destroyed the entire launch complex and left a 2-300m crater in its place? Yeah, that one.) Sure, they could do it again. No question. However, it’s going to be a while and the costs related to use such as this are Astronomical! ICBM’s, MRBM’s and IRBM’s are several orders of magnitude more expensive to design and build than any other missile system in Any nations aresenal. This strike was a statement.

06:58 "It is still below the nuclear threshold." No it is not. It looks like it, but a mass firing of MIRV capable ICBM's against NATO targets with conventional warheads does not look different to a mass firing of MIRV capable ICBM's against NATO targets with nuclear warheads. Before the Russian fired the Oreshnik against Ukraine, they called NATO and told them they would fire a single missile against Ukraine, so that NATO would know that this is not a nuclear first strike against NATO targets. The attack you talking about must look like a massive nuclear first strike to NATO and would probably retaliated as such before the Russian ICBMs reach their target. It doesn't help Russia to commit a conventional first strike against NATO countries using missiles that usually carry nuclear missiles, if the Russians end up in a nuclear wasteland a few minutes later. Therefore this genius 4D chess move is a very bad one in reality. It's like robbing a bank with a fake gun, and wondering why the guards shoot back with real bullets.

Next video: "I lied! It is still about Oreshnik! Have you noticed that..." 😂 Good video. Like!

[@arman4chok]

as a Russian this is not analytics. This is direct message from President Putin. "Stop playing childish". You never won over the Soviet union. We wanted to be in Nato... now it's too late "

[@peterp4037]

The thing is, I did notice it and long before that attack happened. The defensive capabilities are weak to stop a saturation attack using hypersonic and mixed load.

[@carlpanzram7081]

So? Do you think Nato couldnt also start a nuclear war if it wanted? this isnt impressive or novel, this has been the state we were in for many decades now.

Interesting given the recently reported multiple drone infringements at the US air bases in eastern England. Either actual target reconnaissance or just making a point.

[@dirkscott5410]

Amateur drone flyers are always pushing the envelope looking for pics to sell to the news or the tv. Raised tensions accelerate this and make the bases more twitchy about it. The UK government “discovers” this when it wants news stories to beef up flagging popular support for military spending.

[@larsnystrom6698]

No one sane starts a nuclear war? The capability to decapitate a threat without nuclear weapons is an obvious game changer. It isn't such a good idea to surround a country with military bases, thinking about a first strike, is it? Dismantling the treaties limiting some strategic weapons might have been premature. Maybe trying to recover them would be a really good idea.

[@xanovaria]

This thing would be thought of as a nuclear weapon if the US wasn’t informed directly before usage. It’s not a decap strike if you tell your enemies about it first

[@N4CR]

NATO/Ukraine violating Minsk they didn't care about, but they didn't realize it was there to protect them from themselves xD

[@leifhall2289]

So does this imply that NATO should adapt dispersed operations for air-forces in particular? Another question, If the warheads are kinetic, are they really possible to neutralize? They will still have the same speed and mass, after being hit.

[@musehtaicho]

If hit with enough energy it can be diverted from target, that's it.

[@Catonius]

That's my feeling, it would scythe through any explosion, surely.. if it's tough enough to heat up to 4000c and hold together at mach 11 you'd have to absolutely bullseye it to even knock it off course..

[@shugieshugied2269]

I suspect NATO has long operated dispersed operations, that would be sound doctrine for nuclear attacks, don't leave your assets where they can get hit, that's been known about since at least WW2. You may not be able to neutralize a kinetic warhead, but you can aim to knock it off target, and if you hit it with enough mass, even moving relatively slowly in the opposite direction, the energy release will be substantial, some material will end up vapourised.

[@povisykt]

Thank you for your videos, its a pleasure to watch. Much love to you

[@IblameBlame]

Do you think that by "all 32 launchers" they mean "32 launch canisters"? Because a PAC-2 launcher truck has 4 canisters and a PAC-3 one has 16. So for a PAC-2, 32 launch canisters implies 8 launch trucks. Although i've seen pictures from the German military of trucks carrying only 2 PAC-2 canisters or even just a single one.

[@RTBURGAZ]

i wouldn't believe a single word coming out of ukraine about shooting down hypersonics. they lied so much about it and never presented any proof beyond obvious fakes.

[@SlayerBG93]

Germany has 72 launchers total. So they probably mean 32 launchers each firing one or two missile in a large volley since the time to react agains a hypersonic missile is too short for all 16 to be fired in rapid succession. Considering each missile costs 1 to 6 milion the implications are disturbing.

[@koskok2965]

I think he just means that a couple hypersonics can deplete an entire Patriot battery, give or take. Which has indeed been observed happening in Ukraine.

[@IblameBlame]

@@SlayerBG93 what do YOU mean by launchers? Trucks carrying launch canisters ready to launch or individual launch canisters each containing a single missile? Because a single canister can't shoot more than a single missile per volley as it would need at least a few minutes to reload (the reloading truck needs to approach and transfer the missile to the launcher truck). And are all of Germany's launchers PAC-3 ones or do they still have some PAC-2?

[@SlayerBG93]

@@IblameBlame According to wikipedia Germany has 72 launch trucks. Althou I am not sure if they are all mobile and mounted on trucks. So the article is indeed talking about the launchers and not individual launch canisters.

No, because this brings basically nothing new to the table. ICBMs already exist, and the concept of fitting them with inert/conventional warheads is not unthinkable. Stupid, but not new.

[@jeffhall2938]

Essentially, all he said was that Russia used in ICBM without nuclear warheads. America can equipped their icbms without warheads also. So what's so important or tactical about that. Please stop Grand icing missiles that both sides could potentially use.

[@СерхиоБускетс-ф7я]

The USA does not have this type of weapon. here are high-precision strikes, and not just warheads of ICBMs. The USA cannot even make a medium-range hypersonic missile
