President Vladimir Putin marked the launch of the new 'Oreshnik' missile at Ukraine as both a test of military capabilities and a direct message to the West, emphasizing its unique non-nuclear hypersonic warhead that purportedly cannot be intercepted. This not only escalates the conflict significantly but also raises concerns about the missile's range and potential implications for European security.
The Pentagon characterized the 'Oreshnik' as an experimental weapon designed to showcase Russia's evolving military prowess in the ongoing war with Ukraine; it is based on the RS-26 Rubezh model but remains controversial among military analysts regarding its classification as a traditional intercontinental ballistic missile.
