Russian dictator Vladimir Putin said that on November 21 Russia tested the Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile.
According to Putin, Russia struck the object of the defense-industrial complex in the Dnipro with a ballistic missile with non-nuclear hypersonic equipment.
The president of the Russian Federation claims that there are currently no means of countering the Oreshnik missiles.
«Using Oreshnik is a response to US plans to produce and deploy medium- and short-range missiles,» Putin said.
«The conflict in Ukraine has acquired elements of a global nature after the attacks by long-range Western missiles on Russia,» Putin commented on Ukraine’s permission to fire missiles deep into Russia, and said that Moscow «will respond decisively and decisively.
He added that the Russian Federation will warn civilians of Ukraine and citizens of other countries in advance to leave the zones of possible damage.
SUPPLEMENTED. The Oreshnik missile was created on the basis of the RS-26 Rubezh ballistic missile, said Sabrina Singh, a representative of the US military department. She also confirmed that Russia notified the US shortly before the missile launch.
We will remind you that yesterday morning, Russia hit the Dnipro with a medium-range Rubezh missile.
RS-26 «Rubezh» belongs to medium-range ballistic missiles capable of carrying a nuclear charge. It is equipped with separate combat units. It is believed that the development of the missile began no later than 2006, and the first launch took place in 2011.
Russia could develop the RS-26 «Rubezh» secretly, since the creation of such a missile violated the Russian-American treaty on the elimination of medium- and short-range missiles. It was torn down in 2019.
We will remind you that an intercontinental ballistic missile arrived in Dnipro this morning. Analysts assumed that it was about «Rubezh».
