Russia Retaliates With Record-Breaking Strike After Barbaric Ukrainian Attack On Civilians

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A foreboding new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first noting Kursk Governor Aleksandr Khinshtein most gravely revealed: “Three people have been killed and seven injured after a Ukrainian drone struck a public beach in the city of Kursk...Ukrainian troops deliberately targeted civilians in a barbaric attack as people gathered on the beach to mark the Day of Family, Love, and Fidelity, a holiday celebrated on 8 July”, says this grave revelation was followed by the Ukrainian Air Force announcing: “Russia launched a record-breaking overnight drone and missile attack on overnight on 9 July against Ukraine...The assault, which began late Tuesday and continued into the early hours of Wednesday, marked the largest single air attack on Ukraine since the full-scale invasion began, with 741 aerial weapons launched, including 728 Shahed-type drones and decoys”.

While Moscow is still waiting for Kiev to confirm a date for the next round of direct peace talks, this report notes, the world was horrified yesterday after watching a mother die while unsuccessfully trying to protect her son from Ukrainian Nazi forces dragging him off the street for cannon fodder—a horrifying spectacle joined by the Kiev International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) grimly warning “Nearly half of Ukrainians believe their country could be ruined and largely emptied of its population by 2035”.

To protect the Ukrainian Nazi Regime now killing mothers so they can kidnap their sons for cannon fodder, this report continues, yesterday it saw President Donald Trump promising to send ten Patriot interceptors to Ukraine—a promise followed by the leftist Washington Post revealing today: “Over the past week, Ukraine has endured some of the worst aerial bombardments since Russia’s full-scale invasion 40 months ago...Zelensky said on Monday that Russia launched 1,270 drones, 39 missiles and almost 1,000 glide bombs during that period”.

With two Patriot interceptors costing $3,729,769 each needing to be fired at every target, this report details, it would have taken 4.618 of them at a cost of $17.2 billion to strike against the 2.309 Russian air targets launched against Ukraine last week—a mathematical fact of war joined with the news: “Lockheed Martin, which makes about 500 Patriot interceptor missiles a year, plans to increase production to 650 a year by 2027...When NATO ordered up to 1,000 Patriot rounds last year, the United States struck a deal allowing some of them to be produced in Germany”—and today it was revealed: “The United States has only about 25% of the Patriot missile interceptors it needs to meet Pentagon military plans”.

Along with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth not informing the White House before he authorized a pause on weapons shipments to Ukraine last week, this report notes, Under Secretary of Defense Elbridge Colby prompted last week’s decision to halt shipments of some air defense missiles to Ukraine when he saw how low their own stockpile was—is an American military so crippled because it gave all of its weapons to Ukraine that Turkey now makes all of their artillery shells—and it was just revealed: “News has emerged out of South Korea that the country’s plans for a follow-on buy of 36 AH-64E Apache Guardian attack helicopters have been aborted...The $2.2B deal was cancelled after the funding was nearly zeroed out in a supplemental budget that was approved last Friday...South Korean National Assembly member Yu Yong-weon explained what spurred the decision, "Drones and smart systems are redefining modern battlefields...Rather than clinging to expensive legacy platforms, we must invest in capabilities that reflect the future of warfare"”.

Last evening, this report continues, leftist CNN released an audio tape of President Trump telling donors last year about a call he had during his first term with President Putin: “With Putin I said, If you go into Ukraine, I’m going to bomb the shit out of Moscow...I’m telling you I have no choice...and then he goes, like, I don’t believe you...But he believed me 10%”—and was a threat to bomb the shit out of Moscow followed by the White House releasing its document “President Donald J. Trump to Withdraw the United States from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty” on 1 February 2019.

Immediately after President Trump threatened to bomb the shit out of Moscow and unilaterally terminated the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, this report concludes, Russian rocket scientists started creating the new unstoppable Oreshnik intermediate-range ground-based hypersonic ballistic missile from scratch—after its November-2024 successful first test turned a Ukrainian military facility into dust, President Putin proclaimed: “Serial production of the Oreshnik has started, but ultimately, we will choose the means of destruction depending on the nature of the selected targets and the threats posed to the Russian Federation”—and the just released military strategy document “Forget Nukes. This Is Russia’s New Deterrence Weapon” assessed:

For decades, the term ‘strategic weapon’ has been synonymous with nuclear arms – tools of last resort, deployed not for use but for deterrence.

Oreshnik changes that equation.

By combining intercontinental reach, hypersonic speed, and precision penetrative capability, the system introduces a new tier of force: One that sits below the nuclear threshold, but far above conventional long-range artillery or cruise missiles.

Unlike nuclear warheads, Oreshnik’s payloads can be used without inviting global condemnation or risking escalation beyond control. Yet their destructive potential – especially against hardened military targets or critical infrastructure – makes them a credible tool of strategic coercion.

This is the core of what we can call a ‘non-nuclear deterrence doctrine’: The ability to achieve battlefield or political objectives through advanced conventional systems that mimic the strategic impact of nuclear weapons – without crossing the line.

In this emerging framework, Oreshnik is not just a missile. It is a prototype of future war logic: Fast enough to strike before detection, survivable enough to evade interception, and powerful enough to shape decisions before war even begins..
