On 21 November, a new hisonic missile from Russia, the famous Oreshnik, crashed in the city of Dnipropetrovsk, in Ukraine, under the name of Dnipró. The objective was the Yuzhmash missile factory of this city, located in the center of the city. Since then, neither Ukraine nor NATO have offered a true picture of the consequences of this terrorist attack. No journalist has been able to approach the area and access to the area is being monitored by the emergency services of the Ertzaintza.

In 1994, 30 years ago, I visited this factory, it was the nerve center of a city closed to foreigners until the end of the USSR. At the time of the Soviet Union, Dnipropetrovsk was a "protected city" of the military industrial complex, that is, privileged from the point of view of supply, with far fewer problems of consumption and service than the country's precarious average situation.

Yuzhmash was the largest missile factory in the world. It was founded by Stalin in the post-war period for the construction of 2,000 units of Hitler's V-1 missile a year. This missile was hacked by Moscow to the Germans after the Second World War. In the 1970s and 1980s, the Dnipropetrovsk factory produced the dreadful SS-18 intercontinental missiles, known as Satan. The SS-18, like the SS-24, were banned in 1993 through the Strategic Bilateral Disarmament Agreement EE.UU. (Start II) The Yuzhmash camp was extended to 600 hectares and more than 60,000 workers, technicians and engineers worked on it.

In 1994, Ukraine was "a country in crisis," but that's not like saying anything. As in Russia, people lived from the black economy and from the trafficking of what was possible, while the local elite filled their pockets with the “privatization” of the national heritage and the enormous resources of the state. Under such conditions, I was interested in the conversion of giants like Yuzhmash. I wanted to know what the struggle for the life of an old industrial city of 1.5 million people was all about. How did they manage to stay active?

“Reconversion? Don’t tell me anything,” a worker told me. "Before we made Satan, and while Satan was taking care of our country, everyone respected us. We're now making children's bicycles and toy chests, and the CIA is laughing at us. I'm not saying we shouldn't disarm ourselves, but not just us, and also, without impairing our scientific-technical capacity." People followed their depressive inclination, but they kept moving forward. Aleksandr Kochetkov was a rocket engineer at the Yuzhmash missile factory, and was subsequently a video and television technician of a company created in this field. He explained that high technology, such as the construction of Ziklon civilian rockets, based on SS-18, used to launch 18 tons of civilian or military satellites into orbit. "They are much better than the Arianne used by the European Space Agency, but European markets do not extend to our technology, on the other hand: we are afraid and closed as many doors as possible. We don't complain, but we've already learned what the tough market is," the engineer said.

In 1994, Yuzhmash was very important for Ukraine. Its Director-General, Leonid Kuchma, was Prime Minister until 1992 and then President of the country. I don't know how the factory evolved over the next few years and decades, but apparently in recent years the Americans shook hands and in the three major underground factories there was a major military industrial activity. Both this factory and the one under construction under the Carpathian mountains, the German armory giant Rheinmetall, belong to NATO’s efforts to strengthen the Ukrainian defence industry. According to the Russians, these three factories have been destroyed during the attack on Yuzhmash on 21 November, which has resulted in material damage.

Russian politicians and communicators are delighted with the Oreshnik missile. Images of the explosion of supersonic basques against the NATO plant in Dnipropetrovsk have spread to satiety in the Russian media. The fact that they are once again fearsome gives them a real mental erection. Beyond the geopolitics and dialectics of the fighting empires, it was psychological very bad to feel that they had lost the credibility of their apocalyptic threat with the USSR. Sildenafil, a component of biagra that activates erection, has influenced your body. The Oreshnik missile is able to cross four underground bunkers of the toughest concrete, and with its impact speed, ten times greater than that of the sound, it is able to generate a temperature of up to 4,000 degrees, a little lower than that of the solar surface. Conclusion: it turns its environment into ash.

President Putin explained at the summit in Astana (Kazakhstan), the Collective Security Pact Organization (CSTO), the post-Soviet military alliance. He said that he had already warned NATO of what the use of long-range missiles could mean; that Russia had to use the Oreshnik to respond to the opponent's actions; that Russia's hysonic missiles have nothing in the world; that their production is increasing; and that Russia produces ten times more missiles than all NATO countries combined; that if nuclear power missiles are used, it is massively.

With these explanations, Russia, in addition to claiming its power, has made it clear that it is able to continue in Ukraine to escalate the war and that it can lead to great deterrence without resorting to nuclear weapons. In addition, it could attack NATO, but without hitting the Member States. The explosion of the Yuzhmash factory, or the one that is building underground in the Rheinmetall Carpathians, or the attack by the NATO logistics centres in Moldova, which supplies weapons to Ukraine, would not activate the fifth mythical article of the NATO Charter, according to which a joint response would be activated in the face of the attack of a Member State, either by the absence of Ukraine. Moreover, if the situation worsens and Europeans supposedly abandoned by Trump start sending troops to Ukraine, they may have a visit to Oreshnik.

First of all, the main question for the liars in Brussels, the Commission and the European Parliament is: How can you do it again without losing your face? Above all, when this “loss of face” can lead to the decline of the organizations that have played Russian roulette. Using Ukraine as an ariete, they wanted to give Russia a checkmate, but it has gone wrong.
