There was a signal of consonant anxiety, the capital's capital went down to the shelter, but nothing happened. According to Ukrainian military Cyril Sazonova, the intercontinental ballistic missile "Lischina" "did not fly" and fell on the territory of the Russian Federation. According to journalists, everyone knew about the future possible attack.
A week after the first stroke by "Oshshnik", Putin threatened with new start -ups of the IBR, in particular "on the centers of decision -making" in Kiev. And although there is no independent confirmation of the second stroke by the "Oshshnik", the failure would not be a surprise. "But the threat was as real as the reliable" oreshnik "," the author said. "Orezhnik" is just a PC-26 rocket with less fuel and, therefore, a lower flight range.
The first test of the PC-26 in 2011 ended in an explosion when the prototype of the rocket rejected from the course and exploded a few kilometers from the starting platform at Plesetsk in the Russian Federation in the Russian Federation. According to journalists, the failure of the second launch of "hazel" not only deprived the people of Kyivans from a long stay underground, but also became a blow to the Kremlin.
In the end, the description of the "hazel", reminiscent of the IBR with the possibility of nuclear charge, sounds frightening, but its efficiency in military terms is not so high. Complex and inaccurate, "hazel" is an expensive way to "do not cause much harm", - said in an interview with Reuters Jeffrey Lewis, director of East Asia NonProliferation Program. In this respect, "Lischyna" seems to be a weapon of terror, designed to scare many more people than to injure or kill.
That is why, after the first blow of the Osshchnik, a wide publicity in the media was described that The Moscow Times described as "a military propaganda campaign designed to exaggerate the capabilities of the Russian military-industrial complex and the power of new weapons. " Putin "had to use [" Oreshnik "] and then hold a press conference, and then hold another press conference and say:" This thing is really scary, you should be afraid "," - explained Lewis.
