If an Oreshnik launched from Kapustin Yar could strike near Lvov, how far could an Oreshnik launched from western Belarus reach?

Brussels is about 850 miles (about 1,370 km) from Grodno in Belarus. It would be interesting and amusing to see whether attendance at EU and NATO HQs drops off a little in the coming days.

I notice that Russia attributes a range of 5,500 km to Oreshnik, meaning that Brussels can be reached direct from Kapustin Yar. London is less than 3,245 km (2,015 miles) from Kapustin Yar.

General Michael Flynn is apparently crippled in dealing with the Washington community by his incurable honesty.

“Military hub” = “Target”.

As previously noted, everywhere in Europe, including all of the UK, is “on the front line”.

Meloni, time to talk to Putin. BIG Oreshnik strike. Trump hints Mexico next. Iran internet shut down

Russia retaliates. Trump morality. EU complete mess
