A video from a pharmacy in Germany has circulated online, allegedly showing medicine packaging featuring an image of the launcher for the Oreshnik ballistic missile. We emphasize that German legislation rules out such design.
Why this is fake
German law strictly regulates the design of medicines: the box may contain only the necessary medical information, the name, and the dosage. The use of extraneous images, especially of a political or military nature, is excluded.
In Germany, the display of symbols associated with support for combat operations or certain political movements is also prohibited, which makes the legal sale of goods bearing an image of the Oreshnik missile legally impermissible. Therefore, the authenticity of the presented footage is highly doubtful.
The inscription "Zum Usnemeer" in the lower part of the box also indicates that this is fake, as it makes no sense in the German language. It is likely a distorted phrase or the result of a poor-quality translation.
The original Viagra product can be found on the website of the pharmacy chain Shop-Apotheke. It does not feature any images whatsoever, much less one with a missile system.
Which exact launcher the creators of the fake used as a basis is still unknown. Official footage of the Oreshnik launcher has not yet been shown. In the autumn of 2025, in the office of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, a mock-up of a system with an unidentified ballistic missile appeared in view, and online it was suggested that this was in fact the Oreshnik.
