Pentagon Warns Russia May Use “Oreshnik” Missile Against Ukraine Again
Pentagon: Russia‘s New Missile Threat Won’t Change Battlefield Dynamics
Washington D.C. – The Pentagon has confirmed Russia’s possession of a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) but downplayed its potential impact on the battlefield in Ukraine.
Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh stated,”We cannot provide a precise date for its potential deployment. However, it’s vital to note that if Russia chooses to launch this missile, it wouldn’t significantly alter the situation on the ground. This is simply another attempt to inflict damage and cause casualties in Ukraine. We’ve seen this pattern before. They are trying to utilize every weapon at their disposal to intimidate Ukraine. But, of course, Ukraine, along with the United States and partners worldwide, continues to receive our unwavering support.”
The Pentagon declined to disclose the specific target or timeline for a potential launch. This proclamation follows reports from Kyiv in late November, alleging russia’s first-ever use of an ICBM in the conflict.The Kremlin later confirmed the attack, identifying the weapon as their newly developed medium-range ballistic missile, “Oreshnik.”
This development raises concerns about the escalation of the conflict and the potential for further devastation in Ukraine. However, the pentagon’s stance suggests that the U.S.remains committed to supporting Ukraine and believes that this new missile will not fundamentally change the course of the war.
