Did Russia Launch ANOTHER Oreshnik? Performative Terror from Kremlin

2026-02-13 | UPDATES #129 | Rumoured Oreshnik launch – Russia’s ‘Wonder Weapon’ – triggers Panic Button. Russian strikes this winter have got everyone on edge. And no wonder – the weather is bitterly cold, heat and light are in short supply, and electricity supplies are hanging by a thread. It’s in this fragile environment that Russia threatened a performative launch of the Oreshnik. The expected kinetic strike morphed into an informational terror operation today. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------A REQUEST FOR HELP!I'm heading back to Kyiv this week, to film, do research and conduct interviews.
