After the US and UK gave Kiev permission for a “long-range attack,” Russia hit Ukraine with a new missile called the “Oreshnik.” The weapon, which was used for the first time against Ukraine last week, is capable of carrying nuclear weapons. According to the US press, Russia’s attack on Ukraine with a weapon that has never been used before has caused panic and confusion. It has been claimed that this state of chaos is “exactly what” Russian President Putin wants. So could the inclusion of the Oreshnik missile in the war be the first sign of a nuclear war whose footsteps are heard?
The medium-range ballistic missile named Oreshnik targeted a weapons factory in Dnipro.
Debates continue over the missile’s strategic impact on the battlefield and what it means for NATO countries in Europe.
Oreshnik also stands out with its nuclear weapons carrying capacity at a time when Moscow is increasing its nuclear war threats.
Military experts say the name Oreshnik means “hazelnut tree” and speculate that this is a reference to their ammunition, which resembles clusters of hazelnuts.
The design of the missile guarantees its ability to bypass missile defense systems.
According to Russia, this weapon can even hit targets across Europe, depending on the specified mission and distance.
This is allegedly “exactly what” Russian President Putin wants.
