President Vladimir Putin has boasted that Russia produces ten times more missiles than all NATO countries combined and threatened an attack on decision-making centers in Kiev with his new intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM). ).
While attending the Collective Security Treaty Organization summit in Astana, Kazakhstan, Putin spoke about the capabilities of the Oreshnik missile.
He stated that Russia was forced to deploy the new missile “in response to enemy actions” – a reference to the use of US and UK-made missiles within Russian territory – and that there are “no analogues to the Russian Oreshnik in the world ”. He said Western equivalents will not appear anytime soon.

In case of a massive use of the Oreshnik, the force of the attack will be comparable to a nuclear weapon, Putin said.
He said “decision-making centers in Kiev” could become a target for the Oreshnik missile, asserting that Ukraine had launched multiple attacks on Moscow and St. Petersburg. Ukraine carried out its largest drone attack in Moscow earlier this month.
According to the British newspaper The GuardianUS and UK sources believe that the Oreshnik missile fired over Dnipro last week was an experimental nuclear-capable intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM), which has a theoretical range of less than 5,500 km. That’s enough to reach Europe from the launch site in southwestern Russia, but not the US.
