'Here is the gyroscope from Oreshnik. Yuri Gagarin flew with this,' emphasized Kulchytsky.In response to a question about the new level of weaponry, the expert pointed to the obsolescence of the missile's components, emphasizing the Soviet origin of the parts. Another laboratory specialist demonstrated the missile's microcircuits and confirmed that all discovered components are also outdated.
'Old. Everything is old. And everything is Soviet.'Earlier, Pentagon military analysts concluded that Oreshnik is a modified version of the RS-26 Rubizh missile system, the development of which in Russia was officially halted a few years ago. The basis of this system is the RS-24 Yars platform, which has been in use since 2007. It is worth noting that on the night of December 9, the Russians launched Oreshnik from the Kapustin Yar range, describing it as 'revenge' for the attacks on Vladimir Putin's residence. The missile struck an infrastructure facility in the Lviv region.
According to Korrespondent.net: Thus, the analysis confirms that Russian missiles, although sent in the fight against Ukraine, largely rely on outdated technologies, which may indicate problems in the modernization of Russia's military sphere. At the same time, these attacks, justified as revenge, only intensify the military conflict between the countries and create new threats to Ukraine's civilian infrastructure.
