Vladimir Putin announced that Russia hit Ukraine with its brand-new hypersonic weapon system today (the missile nicknamed “the hazel“). The attack targeted a military-industrial site using non-nuclear warheads‚ and was done as part of real-combat testing
During his speech Putin made it clear that Moscow is ready to strike military bases of any western country thats providing weapons to Ukraine. He pointed out that the conflict is getting bigger because NATO countries let Kyiv use long-range missiles against Russia; this new strike shows what Russia can do in response
The Russian leader explained technical details of the attack: “We used a medium-range ballistic system with hypersonic equipment – its our newest development“. The strike was done using a mix of different weapons but the main focus was testing “Oreshnik“ system in real combat conditions (which showed good results according to military reports)
In response to the use of American and British long-range weapons‚ on November 21 of this year‚ the Russian armed forces launched a combined strike on one of the facilities of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine
