the one for which Russia once claimed it would have a 10km shorter range than 9M728...
And all the Putin Believers in western Media believed it

@GeorgeWHerbert @Heterocatalytic @NuclearAnthro I agree, but In the B61 disassembly video it shows diagram with the primary in the rounded part of the physics package. Thoughts?

nice shot in China.

The quad canister for the 9M96 missile is somewhat shorter than the container for 40N6/48N6

Apparent wreckage of Russia's controversial 9M729 (SSC-8) cruise missile observed in Ukraine.

Russia initial deployment of the ground-launched 9M729 was accused to be a violation of the then INF treaty given an assessed range in excess of 1000km.

❗️❗️Russia has moved one 3K55 «Bastion» coastal missile complex to the Kursk region, totaling 4 launchers

Consequently, there is a threat of missile strikes on Ukrainian territory using Onyx/Zircon missiles from the northern direction

Thus, the enemy has maximally reduced the flight time of these missiles to the Kyiv, from 2-3 minutes to a few seconds

Holy moly, this is the most amazing footage of the Oreshnik I’ve ever seen! Imagine if those were nuclear warheads 😳

NATO has no defense capability that can stop them!

[Special Kherson Cat 🐈🇺🇦 @bayraktar_1love]

⚠️ Another angle of the reported Oreshnik strike on Bila Tserkva, allegedly showing impacts from the missile’s inert kinetic rods.

As seen from the published footages this time Oreshnik deployed six submunition clusters, each carrying six kinetic rods, for a total of 36 rods.

Kyiv: a missile attitude control section from an anti-aircraft missile is lying by the roadside.

It is most likely a missile from a Patriot air defense system.

[WarTranslated @wartranslated]

Russia fired an Oreshnik at Bila Tserkva near Kyiv. Footage shows warhead separation and multiple blasts. No warhead, likely. No casualties reported yet.

🚀🇷🇺 Tir ORESHNIK sur Bila Tserkva 🇺🇦🔥

La Russie a donc bien procédé à un 3ème tir de missile balistique à sous-munition ORESHNIK, qui a visé une zone au Sud-Ouest de Kiyv, à 1130 km du site de lancement.

L'événement a été filmé sous de multiples angles, ce qui permet d'analyser le comportement des six lots de six (36 au total) sous-munitions cinétiques.

C'est assez basique, mais on observe bien que la séparation de chaque sous-lot est différente, notamment pour les deux derniers lots qui arrivent dans une "formation" semble-t-il plus étalée que les quatre précédents, avec par conséquent une plus grande dispersion et donc faible précision à l'impact.

Cela montre que l'ORESHNIK n'est pas une arme de précision, mais bien de saturation, destinée uniquement à traiter des cibles étendues - villes, bases aériennes, site industriel, etc.

Je remets mon petit dessin moche qui explique dans les grandes lignes le déroulé d'un tir d'ORESHNIK, en gardant à l'esprit qu'il y a encore beaucoup d'inconnues, notamment l'altitude à laquelle sont largués les lots de sous-munitions, puis les sous-munitions elles-mêmes.

In the photo - the consequences of a strike by UAVs on the airfield (possibly Belbek).

The strikes were carried out on the night of May 16-17, 2026.

[Pavel Podvig @russianforces]

Nice imagery, but it's a guardhouse, not a command post.

After visiting and evaluating (for refurbishment) at least 300 Nuclear bunkers in North-West Europe (NLD, DE and UK) in the past 15 years, this is probably the most gorgeous example I can show you.

More pictures, pricing and estimated refurbishment costs 🧵👇

First video from the ongoing nuclear forces exercise in Russia released by MoD.

Training of nuclear munitions delivery by the 12 Main Directorate convoys to the field positions of the Ground Forces missile brigade armed with Iskander-M, GLCM erection demonstrated too.

[MilitaryRussia.Ru @DnKornev]

Some thoughts on the Oreshnik from FAS bull
In 2024 it likely wasn't deployed to combat units of the Forces but only to a test battery at a Kap Yar - 1-2 TEL
To end 2025 I think 2-4 TEL sum
And 8-10 missiles w/o N-wrh (think about Votkinsk aims for 2025)
@nukestrat @mattkorda FYI

[Dr. Jeffrey Lewis @ArmsControlWonk]

For everyone who thinks the recent explosion near Beit Shemesh in Israel is "too big" to be a static test of a solid rocket motor ... rockets require tons of thrust (literally) to reach space. Watch a US test, for example.

@planet 3/ Another location where a drone, according to the Moscow Oblast governor (https://t.co/dOllrbU1jH), hit a private house is Pogorelki, in the Mytishchi district. There’s a Tor-2M on a tower less than 1.4 km from it (built and discovered back in 2023). https://t.co/MyRkuwzIYR
