Russia’s missile forces chief has declared that Oreshnik, which can carry conventional or nuclear warheads, has a range allowing it to reach all of Europe.

Putin stated that Russia has begun production of its latest hypersonic missile, the Oreshnik. He also reaffirmed plans to deploy it in Belarus before the end of 2025. Now, this move has raised the stakes in Europe’s security landscape.

Russia first used the Oreshnik against Ukraine in November, when it fired the experimental weapon at a factory in Dnipro that built missiles when Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union. View on euronews
