Russian dictator Vladimir Putin declared about “successful test” of the new Oreshnik missile system, with which Russian troops attacked the Dnipro on November 21.
The dictator said this during a meeting with the leadership of the Russian Ministry of Defense, the military-industrial complex and the developers of missile weapons, reports the TASS propaganda agency.
During the meeting, Putin assured that the means of intercepting Oreshnyk allegedly do not exist in the world and that the missile is “one reliable guarantor of Russia’s territorial integrity.”
Also, the leader of the Kremlin regime said that the missile tests will allegedly continue.
The Kremlin dictator fantasized that Oreshnyk is not a modernization of the old Soviet systems, but “the result of the work of specialists from the new Russia.” However, Western experts consider it close to the RS-26 Rubezh missile, which the Russian Federation specially developed on the border of two types of range of potential nuclear missile carriers.
Instead, on November 22, specialists of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine stated that the strike on November 21 could have been carried out “ballistic missile from the Kedr missile complex”. According to GUR, its tests took place in October 2023 and June 2024.
Strike on the Dnipro on November 21 with a ballistic missile – what is known
The Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that on the morning of November 21, Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile over Ukraine from the Astrakhan region, it was flying towards the Dnipro.
According to Defense Express analysts, the Russians, having launched an intercontinental ballistic missile over Ukraine for the first time, demonstrated the possibility of a nuclear strike.
Ukrainian Pravda, citing its sources, wrote that the occupiers probably used the RS-26 Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time.
Western officials did not confirm the information about the intercontinental missile to the media and said that it was probably an experimental medium-range ballistic missile. An unnamed U.S. official told CNN that Russia has only a few such missiles and that Ukraine has weathered missiles with more powerful warheads.
On the same day, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin announced in an address that the Russian army attacked the Dnipro with the newest Oreshnyk medium-range system, about which there was no information before.
On November 22, Astra, citing sources, reported that the Kapustyn Yar missile range in the Astrakhan region, from where the aggressor country Russia launched a new ballistic missile across the Dnieper River, was attacked by UAVs in the morning of November 21.
