Putin: Russia will continue to test the new ballistic missile
Russian President Vladimir Putin

Russian President Vladimir Putin said his country's new medium-range ballistic missile, which is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, will continue to be tested, including under combat conditions, as it did earlier in the week. when Russia attacked Ukraine with this missile.

"We will continue these tests, including in combat conditions, depending on the situation and the nature of security threats that are being created for Russia," Putin said on November 22 during a meeting with Defense Ministry officials and military industry officials.

Russia used the so-called hypersonic Oreshnik missile against Ukraine on November 21, when it attacked the city of Dnipro.

Putin said this attack was part of Moscow's response to Ukrainian attacks with US ATACMS and British Storm Shadow missiles.

Days ago it was reported that the United States and the United Kingdom have given permission to Kiev to use these missile systems to strike Russian territory.

Ukrainian officials had initially accused Russia of using an intercontinental ballistic missile. But Putin later announced that the attack was carried out with a new medium-range ballistic missile.

Putin said on the 22nd that the new missile is not an update of the previous Soviet-designed weapon./ REL
