He added that in recent days the United States has informed Ukraine and other close allies that Moscow may launch an experimental medium-range ballistic missile.
At the same time, the US believes that this “experimental missile” is unlikely to fundamentally change the situation in the war in Ukraine, and Russia probably has only a small number of such missiles.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed the information about the warning on Thursday evening to the TASS propaganda agency. According to him, Moscow warned the Americans about the launch of “Oreshnik” according to the “Russian National Center for the Reduction of Nuclear Danger”.
“The warning was sent automatically 30 minutes before the launch,” Peskov clarified.
Prehistory:
- According to the Air Force, during the last missile attack on the city of Dnipro, the Russian Federation used an intercontinental ballistic missile. “UP” sources reported that it could be a “Rubezh” missile, which is a potential carrier of a nuclear charge.
- But two Western officials told Reuters that preliminary data did not confirm Russia’s use of ICBMs.
- In an address on Thursday, the master of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin, actually confirmed the US data, saying that during the morning attack on the Dnipro on November 21, the Russians used an Oreshnik medium-range missile.
