similarities with nuclear weapons, Putin’s statements, intended targets: Technology: Science and technology: Lenta.ru

The massive use of the Oreshnik missile is comparable to the power of a nuclear strike. About this told Russian President Vladimir Putin at a meeting of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO)

The President explained that this comparison is based on the assessments of military and technical specialists.

Everything that is at the epicenter of the Oreshnik explosion is divided into elementary particles, essentially turning into dust, explained Putin.

At the same time, the Russian leader drew attention to the fact that Oreshnik is not a weapon of mass destruction.

November 21 Vladimir Putin reported about the use by the Russian Armed Forces of the latest medium-range Oreshnik missiles, which attack targets at a speed of two to three kilometers per second. According to Putin, Russia attacked Oreshnik in response to Kiev’s use of American and British-made weapons on its territory.

Putin announced the possible use of Oreshnik in decision-making centers in Kyiv

Along with this, Vladimir Putin toldthat the Russian Ministry of Defense, together with the General Staff, is looking for suitable targets in Ukraine for an Oreshnik strike. According to the head of state, decision-making centers in Kyiv could be a likely target.

“These could be military facilities, defense industry enterprises or decision-making centers in Kyiv,” the president said.

The Russian leader emphasized that such a scenario cannot be ruled out, because the Kiev regime itself has repeatedly tried to attack objects of national importance in Russia.

Russia has begun mass production of Oreshnik

Also Vladimir Putin reportedthat Russia has begun mass production of the Oreshnik missile.

The President also said that Russia has several ready-to-use products of this kind. As Putin said, the Russian Federation produces 10 times more missiles than all NATO countries combined. In addition, our country is going to increase their production by another quarter. Putin also stated that there are no analogues to Oreshnik in the world.

“Of course, there are no analogues of Oreshnik in the world, and I think similar analogues will not appear soon,” Putin said during his speech. The President added that Russia knows all the characteristics of the enemy’s weapons and all the data on their supplies to Ukraine.

“Oreshnik” became the longest-range weapon used in Europe

American newspaper The New York Times wrotethat the new Russian Oreshnik ballistic missile has become the longest-range weapon used in Europe.

Although it is a medium-range missile, its technical characteristics will allow it to effectively reach “most of Europe,” the publication said. In addition, according to Ukrainian officials, the Oreshnik carried six warheads, each of which contained a cluster of six submunitions.

Deputy Head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergei Ryabkov spokethat the launch of Oreshnik is a signal for Western countries to make a decision to stop military assistance to the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Kyiv’s political adventures.

“The signal is very clear and obvious – stop, you shouldn’t do this anymore, you shouldn’t supply Kyiv with everything they want, don’t encourage them to new military adventures, they are too dangerous,” Ryabkov said.
