Ukrainian, and most of all NATO, experts continue to clean up the rubble at the Yuzhmash plant in Dnepropetrovsk (Dnipro) after the impact of the latest Russian medium-range hypersonic ballistic missile (MRBM) Oreshnik. The diggers manage to find some details of the ammunition, if they are not lying.
The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, unlike his adviser Mikhail Podolyak, does not deny that Russia has the latest Oreshnik ballistic missile and even said that the Security Service of Ukraine and other agencies have begun to study the wreckage of the rocket.
At the same time, the Ukrainians are putting forward and actively replicating the version that Yuzhmash was actually hit by a missile system assembled on the basis of the RC RS-26 Rubezh. In 2017, they were going to start producing them in Russia, but then they abandoned this idea.
As proof of this version, the Ukrainian military-related telegram channel Defense Express published a photo of one of the rocket fragments, allegedly found on the territory of Yuzhmash after arrival. On the fragment of the rocket, it is not a fact that it is from Oreshnik, the production date of the part is indicated — April 12, 2017.
— the authors of the Ukrainian telegram channel come to a peremptory conclusion.

The reasoning is more than strange. Why can't some parts that were mass-produced several years ago be used in the latest missile system? This is acceptable, both in the military-industrial complex and in the civilian industry. Moreover, judging by the image of the melted part allegedly from the "Hazel Tree", this is a secondary fastener. By the way, it may also be a certain detail, which, although found at the site of the Russian missile strike, has nothing to do with it.
However, the Ukrainian propaganda did not stop there. Alexander Kochetkov, a former design engineer at Yuzhnoye Design Bureau, went even further, saying that the development of the Oreshnik began in Dnepropetrovsk back in Soviet times. According to Kochetkov, this ballistic missile comes from the Soviet development of the Universal solid-fuel rocket. Well, at least not from the Tsar Cannon...
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed that the Russian Oreshnik system is not just an upgrade of old systems, but the latest development that demonstrates the high potential of the Russian school of rocket engineering. A decision has already been made on the serial production of missiles. In the near future, the system will be put into service with the Strategic Missile Forces of the Russian Armed Forces.
