On November 21, Russian Prssident Vladimir Putin confirmed the successful test of the Oreshnik missile, which hit a Ukrainian defense facility in Dnepropetrovsk in retaliation for the Kiev regimeβs strikes deep into Russia using Western weapons.
Tested in combat, the missile showed its power in a nuclear-free configuration, with Putin calling it unmatched in the West β equally destructive as nuclear weapons but without radiation.
In a move driven by rising NATO threats and the deployment of US long-range missiles in Germany, Putin and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko agreed to position the Oreshnik system in Belarus by the end of 2025.
