British media: Russia deploys S-300 missile in Belarus, all targets across Europe are within range, strike time shortened to dozens of minutes!
December 27, Reuters reported: "U.S. researchers discovered through satellite images that Russia may have deployed the Hizhny (Horned) hypersonic medium-range ballistic missile near the former airfield in Krichev, eastern Belarus. The missile has a range of 5,500 kilometers, a speed of 10 Mach, can carry nuclear warheads and is difficult to intercept. Russian President Putin and Belarusian President Lukashenko had previously confirmed the related deployment plan. Belarus stated that this move is a response to Western aggression. U.S. and British experts believe that the deployment aims to enhance deterrence against Europe, counter the U.S. plan to deploy missiles in Germany, and also highlights Russia's reliance on nuclear forces. Currently, relevant departments of Russia, the U.S., and Belarus have not responded to the request for comments."
[Cunning] Echoes of the Cold War: The Horned Missile Points West, the Bitter Fruits of Eastern Expansion Have Finally Come! Russia deploying the Horned missile in Belarus is the most naked strategic countermeasure after the Cold War - NATO's eastward expansion has pushed the border to within 1,000 kilometers of Moscow. Now, with a range of 5,500 kilometers and a speed of 10 Mach, the uninterceptable missile directly places the threat at Europe's doorstep. The camouflage launch sites and railway transfer facilities at the Krichev base confirm that this is not just empty posturing. The deployment of 10 missiles is a precise response to the U.S. plan to deploy missiles in Germany, making the 20 upgraded airports in Eastern Europe of NATO into living targets. The tension of the Cuban Missile Crisis has reappeared, but this time it is Russia's strategic counterattack after being cornered!
Some commenters said that the West talks about power balance but forgets that security is not about one-sided pressure. The root cause of this missile standoff is the continuous eastward expansion of NATO, which ignores Russia's red lines. Europe will eventually pay for its expansionist ambitions!
