Kremlin Amplifies Oreshnik Missile Rhetoric Amid Waning Nuclear Threats
TL;DR Summary
The Kremlin orchestrated a propaganda campaign around the Oreshnik experimental ballistic missile strike on Ukraine, aiming to reignite fear in Western capitals as nuclear threats lose their impact. The operation involved Russian military, intelligence, and PR experts, and was designed to exaggerate Russia's military capabilities. Despite the media blitz, the Oreshnik is not ready for mass production, and the strike was more about influencing public opinion than demonstrating military prowess. The campaign highlights Russia's limited options for escalation compared to the West.
