Russia Biggest Ever Missile Strike Hammers Kiev AD Total Fail; Will Upgrade SMO To Actual War; NATO
What was said
"I have by the way heard eyewatering numbers for the number of Oreshnik missiles that Russia is producing each month. I think it's Stanislav Karpivnik on an open video who has said that according to his informants the Russians are producing 25 of these very very powerful missiles each month. I've heard other reports that suggest that production rates of the Oreshnik are higher still."
Sources indicate Russia may be producing at least 25 Oreshnik hypersonic missiles per month, with some reports suggesting even higher production rates. These missiles, refined for accuracy against command bunkers, have not yet been deployed against Ukrainian targets despite mass production, suggesting Russia is building a substantial stockpile before initiating strikes on command facilities in cities like Kyiv.
