Title: Putin Orders Production of New Hypersonic Missile

On November 22, 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of mass production and further combat tests of the new hypersonic ballistic missile named “Oreshnik.” This decision follows the missile’s recent use in an attack on Ukraine.

Putin stated, “We will continue these tests, especially in combat conditions, depending on the situation and nature of security threats to Russia.” He emphasized that the missile type cannot be intercepted by adversaries.

Putin highlighted the missile’s unique capabilities, claiming, “No countermeasures exist in the world today to intercept it.” He stressed the importance of starting mass production of this advanced missile system.

He clarified that the “Oreshnik” is not a strategic weapon, as it is not an intercontinental ballistic missile or a means of mass destruction. Instead, he described it as a precision weapon.

This announcement comes amid heightened military tensions and reflects Russia’s ongoing focus on developing advanced military technology.
