Putin: We successfully tested the latest hypersonic ballistic missile.
According to Al Jazeera, Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized in his speech today: From this moment on, the conflict in Ukraine has taken on an international flavor.
He added: Ukraine’s attacks on Russia with Western missiles failed. We targeted a Ukrainian military plant with a ballistic missile in response to the West’s provoking actions. Experts know very well that the use of long-range weapons is impossible without the participation of experts from the countries that produce them. Our country was targeted on November 19 with six Atakams missiles, and on November 21, facilities located in Kursk and Bryansk were targeted with Storm Shadow systems.
Putin emphasized: Our air defense systems neutralized the missile attacks of Ukrainian forces carried out with Western missiles, and there were no damages or casualties. The Ukrainian missile plant was hit with a hypersonic ballistic missile.
The Russian President announced the successful test of the latest medium-range missile, called Oreshnik.
He said: “New air defense systems cannot intercept Russian Oryshnik missiles, as they hit their targets at a speed of Mach 10, that is, three kilometers per second. The United States is pushing the whole world towards global conflicts. Our forces will successfully fulfill the assigned mission. In the event of an escalation of hostile operations, we will respond decisively to these attacks.” At the same time, Putin said: “We are ready to resolve the issues peacefully.” The deployment of short- and medium-range missiles is carried out in accordance with the actions of the United States and its allies.
