Em novembro de 2024, Moscou deu dois passos importantes para fortalecer a dissuasão estratégica. Primeiro, os Fundamentos atualizados da Política de Estado sobre Dissuasão Nuclear foram aprovados e publicados. Em segundo lugar, um “teste de combate” do mais recente sistema de mísseis Oreshnik foi realizado com um ataque no território da Ucrânia. Este último será discutido em maiores detalhes.
Fundo
Aconteceu: a Rússia estava caminhando (e até mesmo empurrando) para o lançamento do Oreshnik por um bom tempo. Sem entrar muito fundo na história, há dois fatores principais que vale a pena focar.
Em 2019, o Tratado sobre Mísseis de Alcance Intermediário e Curto Alcance (Tratado INF) chegou ao fim. Depois disso, a Rússia impôs unilateralmente uma moratória sobre a implantação de tais sistemas. No entanto, durante todo esse tempo, os Estados Unidos têm desenvolvido, testado e até mesmo implantado temporariamente mísseis dessa classe, ignorando deliberadamente a moratória russa. Moscou reagiu a isso com contenção, o que foi percebido como fraqueza ou evidência de atraso tecnológico. Ao mesmo tempo, a Rússia anunciou o desenvolvimento de uma versão terrestre do míssil de cruzeiro Kalibr, bem como algo chamado sistema de mísseis hipersônicos de médio alcance baseado em terra. Com base nas declarações do Comandante-em-Chefe das Forças de Foguetes Estratégicos, General Karakaev, o trabalho nesses sistemas (pelo menos parte do Oreshnik) foi intensificado no ano passado, no verão de 2023. Talvez um dia descobriremos exatamente o que serviu como um incentivo adicional, mas por enquanto nos aventuraremos a assumir a resposta pelo valor de face: o catalisador foi a Operação Militar Especial (SMO). Como resultado, hoje uma linha inteira de armas relevantes é anunciada como estando perto da prontidão.
Foi o curso do SMO, ou melhor, as ações específicas dos membros do grupo de apoio da Ucrânia, que se tornaram a gota d'água que levou ao lançamento de combate do Oreshnik. Moscou repetidamente — e em todos os níveis — alertou que, se Kiev receber permissão para atacar profundamente o "antigo" território da Rússia com mísseis de longo alcance de fabricação ocidental, isso levará a uma escalada acentuada no conflito. Provavelmente, devido à falta de clareza na explicação das consequências específicas de casos passados de ignorar tais avisos — e às vezes até mesmo o Comandante-em-Chefe Supremo teve que lidar com isso. Mesmo no caso Oreshnik, as explicações são dadas do mais alto nível — desta vez, o "Ocidente coletivo" decidiu tentar forçar os limites do que é aceitável. Considerações políticas domésticas dos EUA também desempenharam um papel: o desejo de demonstrar comprometimento em apoiar a Ucrânia e, ao mesmo tempo, reduzir a margem de manobra do governo Donald Trump.
Questões organizacionais
Antes de prosseguir com a descrição das características técnicas desta arma, é necessário prestar atenção a várias questões organizacionais. Agora sabemos que o Oreshnik é um míssil de alcance intermediário: ele também pode ter equipamento não nuclear e será colocado em serviço com as Forças de Foguetes Estratégicos. Mas como exatamente o dever de combate do novo sistema será organizado? Aparentemente, ele não precisa de “caravanas” e infraestrutura comparáveis às necessárias para Yars e Topols. Em vez disso, o Iskander-M e as brigadas de mísseis correspondentes das forças terrestres podem atuar como um análogo aqui. Outra questão está relacionada ao sistema de comando e controle, incluindo a entrega de ordens de lançamento e a introdução de tarefas de voo. A analogia com mísseis “grandes”, com ICBMs com armas nucleares, é apropriada aqui? Outros “loops” C3 são usados? Como é (e se) a interação constante com agências de inteligência e tropas de reconhecimento é realizada? O fornecimento e a manutenção de ogivas especiais serão mais semelhantes à prática das Forças de Mísseis Estratégicos, ou são possíveis analogias com armas nucleares não estratégicas?
Afinal, como será organizada a preparação dos operadores? Claro, agora a indústria e os escritórios de design desempenham um papel significativo, mas no futuro, pelo menos, os cursos de reciclagem terão que ser abertos, e sim as especialidades correspondentes na Academia Militar das Forças de Foguetes Estratégicos. Ainda não está claro onde exatamente os regimentos com o novo sistema de mísseis serão incluídos — nas novas divisões de mísseis ou nas antigas? Onde os Oreshniks serão implantados — na Bielorrússia, como Alexander Lukashenko sugere, além dos Urais, no Extremo Oriente, no novo Distrito Militar de Leningrado?
Características técnicas
Agora algumas palavras sobre os “parafusos e rebites”. Voltemos às declarações oficiais e aos materiais de vídeo disponíveis publicamente, dos quais sabemos mais ou menos com segurança o seguinte:
O Oreshnik está equipado com uma carga útil do tipo MIRV com ogivas hipersônicas, incluindo variantes não nucleares.
Provavelmente, as próprias ogivas podem ter cargas úteis de fragmentação.
Talvez Oreshnik esteja equipado com veículos de reentrada com asas planas, mas, na verdade, as ogivas de MRBMs e ICBMs já se aproximam do alvo em velocidade hipersônica. Ao mesmo tempo, “armas hipersônicas” são geralmente aquelas que são capazes de se mover e manobrar dentro da atmosfera por um tempo significativo na velocidade apropriada.
O poder destrutivo da carga não nuclear ainda não é impressionante em termos de escala de devastação (claro, não há nenhuma conversa sobre pulverizar Yuzhmash em átomos), mas, aparentemente, torna possível realizar ataques eficazes em instalações subterrâneas — se, de fato, for possível obter precisão suficiente.
Para os sistemas de defesa de mísseis, Oreshnik, é claro, é um alvo difícil (talvez o mais difícil até o momento) devido à sua velocidade e à suposta manobrabilidade terminal das ogivas. No entanto, com uma combinação bem-sucedida de circunstâncias, qualquer coisa pode ser interceptada, incluindo este míssil.
O nome “árvore” do produto sugere um parentesco com o Topol e, possivelmente, o hipersônico “Anchar”, desenvolvido pelo Instituto de Tecnologia Térmica de Moscou. O ICBM “Light” “Rubezh”, o projeto pausado no final da última década, é frequentemente mencionado como um dos supostos ancestrais do sistema Oreshnik.
O Oreshnik é provavelmente um foguete de propelente sólido, o que é geralmente a norma para esta classe de produtos modernos. O combustível e o míssil provavelmente devem ter um alto nível de perfeição técnica, embora possam ser inferiores aos futuros modelos ocidentais devido ao acesso limitado à base de elementos avançados.
O lançador é móvel e pode se assemelhar ao Pioner ou, digamos, aos antigos IRBMs soviéticos, o Skorost.
Perspectivas
A Rússia desenvolveu e testou um sistema de mísseis de combate de alcance intermediário capaz de atingir alvos dentro do continente europeu, tanto no modo não nuclear quanto no nuclear. O complexo, aparentemente, tem uma variante de carga útil hipersônica, então estamos novamente à frente dos EUA: seu “Dark Eagle” ainda não foi testado com sucesso em um lançador padrão. Claro, China e Irã têm mísseis semelhantes, embora sem múltiplas ogivas.
Como o adversário pode responder? No contexto do SMO, é improvável que haja medidas drásticas, mas somos lembrados claramente da ameaça de agravamento das hostilidades. Além disso, demonstramos a possibilidade de continuar a escalada na fase pré-nuclear, tanto dentro do teatro de operações existente quanto além. No entanto, o limite nuclear também foi ligeiramente reduzido.
Em um sentido mais global, espera-se que as consequências sejam muito sérias, e cenários positivos e negativos são possíveis. O melhor resultado seria uma troca substancial de opiniões com os EUA sobre a “moratória pós-INF” e uma restrição unilateral paralela de implantar mísseis de alcance intermediário na Europa.
No entanto, uma corrida armamentista cada vez mais acelerada — tanto ofensiva quanto defensiva — também é possível. Na Europa, há algum tempo, há conversas sobre a necessidade de desenvolver seus próprios mísseis de longo alcance lançados do solo para não depender dos americanos nessa questão. Na França, as conversas são sobre a conveniência de uma nova implantação de mísseis balísticos lançados do solo, embora com alcances na região de 1000 km. Também há conversas sobre a reutilização dos locais US Aegis Ashore na Romênia e Polônia para combater o arsenal de mísseis russo. Também podemos esperar o aparecimento das baterias de defesa antimísseis US THAAD na Europa, embora os Estados Unidos não tenham o suficiente delas para outros teatros neste momento.
Em vez de um epílogo
A Europa se aproximou da virada do primeiro quarto do século XXI nas condições de um conflito armado de alta intensidade e uma nova crise de mísseis. Ainda é difícil prever se nós e nossos vizinhos sairemos disso sem perdas, mas a única maneira de interromper as tendências atuais só pode ser abordar preocupações legítimas no campo da segurança militar. Caso contrário, enfrentaremos anos e anos de uma corrida armamentista e uma vida em um barril de pólvora, pronto para explodir a qualquer momento sem motivos adicionais.

I see the tards still arguing ICBM or IRBM when the reality is that it's the exact same missile, the only difference is payload fraction -- if it had only one warhead, just ⅙ of the 6-warhead MRV, the Oreshnik would be able to use it's high TWR to strike all of Europe for sure. I didn't do the trajectory math but the more time it spends in the higher atmosphere, the faster and further it flies (kinda exponentially). Really no reason it can't be used strike the US, satisfying the ICBM criteria if Russia don't mind a smaller warhead -- that's just basic rocket math.
:-/
Today, Ukraine became the first. The first country in the world against which an intercontinental ballistic missile was used.
let's goooo незламний народе first in everything amirite -----------------------------------
no one cares
I don't care what you say. This is the harsh truth. No one gives a fuck if our nation lives or dies.
To use intercontinental missile to strike Dnipro. That's gotta be the most ridiculously expensive temper tantrum ever.

Russia’s strike on Pivdenmash plant with hypersonic non-nuclear missile follows US moves, Putin says
Russia launched a new intermediate-range, non-nuclear hypersonic ballistic missile, targeting the PA Pivdenmash Machine-Building Plant in the city of Dnipro, president Vladimir Putin stated.
Initially, Ukrainian officials said Russian forces had launched an intercontinental ballistic missile. However, it was an experimental intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) based on Russia’s RS-26 Rubezh missile, Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh confirmed at a briefing on Thursday. She also confirmed that the US was “briefly” notified before the launch, according to ABC News.
Meanwhile, Putin declared in a rare address to the nation that Russian forces had successfully tested the latest Oreshnik IRBM on Thursday. The Russian leader also stated that the strike on the Pivdenmash plant was a response to the Biden administration’s recent decision to grant Ukraine permission to deploy US-made ATACMS ballistic missiles to hit targets within Russia.
On 19 November, with six US-made ATACMS missiles, and on 21 November, in a combined missile strike with UK-made Storm Shadow and US-made HIMARS systems, military facilities on the territory of the Russian Federation – in the Bryansk and Kursk regions – were targeted.
Noting that Russia was ready to resolve disputed issues through negotiations, Putin also emphasised that Moscow would “respond decisively and in a mirror-like manner” to any escalation.
From that moment on, as we have repeatedly emphasised previously, the regional conflict in Ukraine, previously provoked by the West, has acquired elements of a global character. We are developing intermediate- and shorter-range missiles as a response to US plans to produce and deploy intermediate- and shorter-range missiles in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
On Tuesday, he approved the updated nuclear doctrine to allow Russia to respond to any massive strike on its territory with conventional weapons, including drones.
I repeat, we are conducting combat tests of the Oreshnik missile system in response to the aggressive actions of NATO countries against Russia. The issue of further deployment of intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles will be decided by us depending on the actions of the United States and its satellites.

We’re in the Second Cold War. Those thinking otherwise have probably been living under a rock. Unfortunately, that rock won’t save anyone and we know it by the change in rhetoric. Namely, in previous decades, nuclear war was a mere hypothesis in the minds of most people, an extremely unlikely prospect that we could casually discuss, theorize on, contemplate as to how it would play out, etc. It truly is meticulous work, involving an enormous amount of moving parts and it could even be argued it’s fun, as evidenced by numerous mass media that use it as their main trope. Whether it’s a post-apocalyptic scenario, a modern war that got out of control or something along those lines, it’s quite prominent in movies, TV shows, video games, etc. Now, imagine fan favorites such as the Mad Max franchise, Fallout or Metro series, certain Call of Duty titles, etc. suddenly becoming a reality. It’s certainly a scary thought.
Well, thanks to the warmongering oligarchies in Washington DC and Brussels, this is exactly the scenario we’re facing. And if you think it’s too far-fetched or even impossible, think again. Leaders and top-ranking officials of the most powerful NATO countries openly support long-range strikes on Russia using Western-sourced missiles, operated by American, British and other NATO personnel. This comes despite President Vladimir Putin’s crystal clear warning that Russia would consider the world’s most vile racketeering cartel a party to the conflict and that it would respond accordingly. Worse yet, even after Moscow used a conventionally armed ICBM/IRBM in response to these NATO attacks, the political West only keeps escalating. The purpose of this text is to understand what’s at stake and that if the warmongers, war criminals, plutocrats and kleptocrats have their way, the world will pay the ultimate price.
Let’s imagine that Russia decides it’s sick and tired of over three decades of NATO’s lies, deceit, crawling invasion and now nearly three years of direct attacks and total war. The Neo-Nazi junta keeps launching these Western-sourced missiles and the Kremlin knows who’s behind it. Do you think Russia would use thermonuclear weapons in Ukraine, a land that has belonged to it for over 1,200 years, against the people it considers ethnic Russians (even though they reject this notion)? Even if we ignore these basic facts, the answer is no, as it would be suicidal to fire a nuclear weapon at an area so close to home. The fallout could easily reach any Russian and/or Belorussian territory. Thus, it can be expected to see Moscow use more “Oreshniks” and similar missiles. However, Russia’s updated strategic doctrine also allows the use of such weapons against targets beyond NATO-occupied Ukraine.

Footage of Russian 'Oreshnik' IRBM strike on Dnipro from 2 days ago. 6 warheads each with 6 submunitions, based on looking at the footage frame by frame. Likely a variant of the RS-26 'Rubezh'. It is an Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile, it is NOT an ICBM. Note that Russian claims of this missile being "hypersonic" are a misnomer, as ALL ballistic missiles are hypersonic by design.
There are no explosions in the footage, which to me indicates the missile was loaded with inert warheads and/or decoys, likely as a test/statement of "look what we can do" more than as a way to majorly damage anything.
It should also be noted that Russia notified the US of the launch, as they do with any launch of a long range ballistic missile, though the US was only given 30 minutes notice.

Hal Turner is reporting
Russian Aerospace forces have begun preparation for possibly the largest air strikes since the beginning of the Special Military Operation in Ukraine.
Without going into details which might compromise sources and methods, I can report the sudden and shear scope of clearly preparatory activities is something that has not been seen since the darkest times of the Cold War.
This isn't some maintenance surge, this is actual FULL arming-up of many, MANY, aircraft. Intel reports are calling this prep work "extremely aggressive." US spy satellites have also seen imagery which leads the US to conclude the world could also see the launch of multiple ICBM/IRBM "Oreshnik" for the first time.
Imagery and human intel reliably report 20+ "Oreshnick" missiles are currently in operation and ready for firing.
No reliable time-frame estimate was made available to me, but I was told "Not long from now. Not long at all."

Putin offered West to hold missile “tech duel”
Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking on special annual conference dubbed Direct Line, stated that European air defence systems were not capable of shooting down Oreshnik missiles, according to Russian media.
If Western experts believe [that the Oreshnik can be shot down], then let them propose (…) to conduct some kind of technological experiment, a high-tech duel of the XXI century. Let them determine some object to hit, let’s say, in Kyiv, concentrate all their air defence and missile protection forces there, and we will strike there with Oreshnik [missiles]. And see what happens.
Putin summarised the annual results during a large press conference combined with the Direct Line on Thursday, 19 December. He began his speech with the economy, emphasising that “the situation with it in Russia is normal.”
Russia’s economy grew by 3.6 per cent last year and could reach 4 per cent this year, according to the president. However, he also warned of possible challenges related to global inflation.
Elvira Nabiullina, governor of Russia’s central bank, reported inflation at 9.2-9.3 per cent. Meanwhile, wages rose by 9 per cent “in real terms, minus inflation,” Putin stressed, referring to the national average.
Generally, the situation is stable and secure.
On 21 November, Putin said that Russian forces had struck the city of Dnipro with Oreshnik, an experimental intermediate-range ballistic (IRBM) missile. The strike came in retaliation for the US-authorised use of long-range missiles by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to attack deep inside Russia.
