Russia has several of the weapons systems at its disposal and is building more of them, the president has warned
The Russian military is selecting targets in Ukraine for further possible strikes using the country’s new Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missiles, President Vladimir Putin warned on Thursday.
Targets could be “decision making centers,” the Russian leader said during a meeting with Moscow’s key regional allies in Astana, Kazakhstan.
Military facilities could be targeted, along with defense and industrial enterprises – “especially since the Kiev regime has repeatedly attempted to strike at facilities of national importance in Russia,” Putin explained.
Moscow already has several Oreshnik missiles at its disposal and has begun the large-scale production of the advanced weapon system, he added.
Addressing his counterparts from the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), Putin reiterated that the first Oreshnik launch last week had been Moscow’s response to Western countries granting permission for Kiev to fire long-range weapons deep inside Russia. This made NATO member states directly involved in the conflict, he added.
