RUSSIA ISSUES NOTAM - KAPUSTIN YAR
Russia has issued another Notice To Air Missions (NOTAM) closing its air space over Kapustin Yar. This was the area from which Russia launched its new Oreshnik Ballistic Missile at Ukraine last week. | Since that Russian launch, which utterly obliterated a Soviet-era munitions factory inside Ukraine, the Ukrainians have again used American-supplied ATACMS to launch at least THREE MORE attacks into Russia, primarily in the Kursk region. It seems logical to believe Russia is going to launch again as response to Ukraine continuing to use west-supplied missiles to strike interior Russia. One might also theorize that it won't be just one Oreshnik this time. UPDATE: Russian Television is showing graphics to viewers describing how fast the Oreshnik Ballistic Missiles can hit "U.S. Bases in the Middle East" and "U.S. Bases in Alaska, Pearl Harbor, and in Guam" and "U.S. Minuteman III Missile Silos in Montana and North Dakota."
