Vladimir Putin has indeed made a statement regarding the deployment of Oreshnik missiles in response to the United States’ actions. According to recent reports, Putin announced that Russia has begun production of the Oreshnik hypersonic missile, which can travel at speeds of up to Mach 10 and has a range capable of striking targets throughout Europe.
The Oreshnik missile is designed to evade Western missile defense systems due to its high speed and unpredictable trajectory. Putin warned that if Kyiv uses NATO-supplied missiles to strike Russia, Moscow could respond using systems like Oreshnik, even beyond Ukraine. This statement was made in the context of rising tensions between Russia and NATO, particularly over the war in Ukraine.
*Key Features of the Oreshnik Missile:*
