"Putin has claimed they are impossible to intercept due to the speed that the missiles fly which is more than ten times the speed of sound, it has been alleged. Russia 's state news agency TASS released a video for the first time showing the deployment of the nuclear capable missiles which can hit the UK within eight minutes. Russia used the Oreshnik missile for the first time in November 2024 targeting the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro."
"Andrey Bogodel, the deputy chief of the General Staff department of the Military Academy of Belarus, told TASS that Putin sending the unstoppable missile is an "anti-aggression warning to Western countries." Bogodel said, "Today, any good deed must, of course, be done with fists. Unfortunately, the world can no longer be organised any other way." The NATO Secretary General, Mark Rutte has warned that despite the geographical distance between Russia and Europe, the Oreshnik missile can hit European capitals within minutes."
The Oreshnik missile system has entered combat duty in Belarus. The system uses experimental ballistic missiles reported to travel at more than ten times the speed of sound and described as impossible to intercept. A state news video shows deployment of nuclear-capable missiles able to reach the UK within eight minutes. The Oreshnik was first used in November 2024 in a strike on Dnipro. Belarusian military leadership framed the deployment as an anti-aggression warning. NATO assessments note that the missiles can reach European capitals within roughly five to ten minutes, increasing regional security concerns.
