Russian propagandists have released satellite images of the "Yuzhmash" factory, which they claimed was struck by an intercontinental missile "Oreshnik". It turns out that the factory was not "reduced to rubble," as they previously reported.
In particular, the Russian z-channel "Romanov Light" confirmed that the factory was not damaged at all after the strike. Meanwhile, former Ukrainian MP-collaborator Oleg Tsarev continued to assert that "the destruction is significant," even after the publication of the satellite images.
Ukrainian blogger Denis Kazansky reminded that for two days, propaganda channels claimed that "Yuzhmash" "no longer exists." Additionally, he shared a recording of a conversation with one Russian who vividly described what happened to the factory and how local residents in Dnipro complained about "an earthquake" after the strike.
0However, in the images provided by the propagandists, it is difficult to see any damage to the factory buildings.
1 2As previously reported, on November 21, Russians struck Dnipro with an intercontinental ballistic missile. Initially, it was reported that this was about the RS-26 "Rubezh", but on the same day, Vladimir Putin stated that the latest medium-range missile "Oreshnik" was used in a non-nuclear hypersonic version.
On Friday, November 22, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine provided details about the new ballistic missile used by the Russian Federation. They noted that, likely, a ballistic missile from the "Kedr" missile system was employed.
