Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Moscow:
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday steered a missile ‘duel’ with the US that might present how Russia’s new Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile might defeat any U.S. missile defence system.
Addressing Western scepticism concerning the Oreshnik, Putin steered that each side choose a chosen goal to be protected by U.S. missiles.
“We’re prepared for such an experiment,” Putin stated.
Putin additionally stated that Oreshnik was a contemporary weapon, although it’s based mostly on earlier Russian design developments.
Russia first fired the Oreshnik missile on the Ukrainian metropolis of Dnipro on Nov. 21, in what Putin solid as a response to Ukraine’s first use of U.S. ATACMs ballistic missiles and British Storm Shadows to strike Russian territory with Western permission.
