Hit Ukraine with Oreshnyk missile – what is known
On November 21, Russia first attacked Ukraine with the Oreshnyk intercontinental ballistic missile. It flew to the Dnipro and caused minor damage. A number of mass media wrote that Russia struck the Dnipro on November 21 with a modification of the RS-26 Rubizh missile, which did not have a warhead.
On the same day, Putin called the use of a nuclear-free hypersonic ballistic missile “a response to attacks by British and American weapons.”
According to the GUR, on November 21, the aggressor country Russia launched a ballistic missile from the Kedr complex over the Dnieper.
On November 28, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin publicly threatened to strike “decision-making centers” in Kyiv with Oreshnyk missiles.
In December, a number of Western media, citing American officials, wrote that the Russian Federation was preparing a new attack on Ukraine with the Oreshnyk missile.
ISW analyzed that Putin, with loud statements about the Oreshnik ballistic missile, is probably looking for a way to move away from his nuclear threats, which he is not ready to fulfill.
On December 16, the Russian dictator announced that serial production of the Oreshnyk medium-range ballistic missile would begin in the near future.
