    Genuine question, is there any relevance of using the Oreshnik to the target? Wouldn’t it have been possible to do similar damage with Kinzhal’s and Kh-101’s? I’m trying to understand if there’s more to it besides the signalling of shooting a nuclear capable IRBM right next to Poland.

      The Lvov State Aviation Repair Plant has been struck with cruise missiles before. I think the main purpose of this Oreshnik strike was to send a message to the west.
