Russia has used the Oréshnik three times, Putin’s “indestructible” missile

It is the third time that Russia presents to the public the star of its arsenal and, as on this occasion, it previously left behind what it was designed for: destruction. The Oréshnik, whose name in Russian means ‘hazelnut’, is a next-generation hypersonic ballistic missile that the Russian army used for the first time on November 21, 2024, during the attack on a weapons factory near the Ukrainian city of Dnipro (southeast).

The metamorphosis of 15-M: What remains today of that movement? Could it happen again?

Fifteen years have passed since the most important social outbreak in democratic Spain.

Madrid says goodbye to its last hero: “We put an end to a wonderful era”

Dani Carvajal was born in Leganés and before he had even started puberty, he was already wearing the Real Madrid jersey. He grew up idolizing the Galácticos during the era of Zidanes and Pavones and was the boy chosen to lay the first stone of the Valdebebas sports city alongside Alfredo Di Stéfano, as if the Arrow had already baptized him that day, predicting a glorious future. “A child’s dream, a legend’s triumph,” read a beautiful banner with that photograph.

A protagonist from start to finish on a memorable night for his memory, with electoral drums and inhospitable in football terms.
