Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin: [ColonelCassad] Putin reported at a meeting in the Kremlin that Russia has a stock of missiles for the Oreshnik system. Testing of this system will continue, including in combat conditions. Putin thanked all the creators of the system for the speed and efficiency of development. A transparent hint that the tests of the Oreshnik in Dnepropetrovsk are not the last.  1. The issues of import substitution in production have been resolved. 2. The missile will be accepted into service by the Strategic Missile Forces. 3. A decision has been made to begin serial production. 4. The missile itself is new, not a modification of old systems. 5. A number of other medium- and short-range systems are still under development. 6. "Oreshnik" is a medium-range mobile ground-based complex. 7. Those involved in the creation of "Oreshnik" will receive state awards. More from regnum.ru Russia can establish serial production of "Oreshnik" in the shortest possible time Russia can set up serial production of the Oreshnik missile systems in the shortest possible time, Vasily Tonkoshkurov, First Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Military-Industrial Commission, said on November 22. “The Russian defense industry is capable of quickly setting up serial production of the latest hypersonic weapon, the Oreshnik,” he said at a meeting between President Vladimir Putin and the leadership of the Ministry of Defense, the military-industrial complex, and missile developers in the Kremlin. As reported by the Regnum news agency, Putin said during the meeting that systems similar to the Oreshnik may appear in other countries, but this will happen later, and it is important that the Russian Federation already has such a system. The head of state also added that the Russian defense industry is working on creating a whole line of medium- and shorter-range missiles. By striking the Yuzhmash plant in Dnepropetrovsk with the hypersonic missile Oreshnik, Moscow demonstrated that it has missile systems that can be used both in a special military operation and as a response to NATO policy towards the Russian Federation, said military analyst and editor-in-chief of the National Defense magazine Igor Korotchenko in an interview with Regnum News Agency. The Oreshnik was used not in a nuclear but in a conventional configuration, but the system also allows for the use of nuclear warheads, the expert added. Even more from regnum.ru Kyiv to ask US for THAAD system to protect against Oreshnik, media reports The leaders of the Kiev regime may request the United States to supply the THAAD anti-missile system to repel attacks by the Russian Oreshnik missile, Bloomberg reported on November 22, citing a source in the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry. We are talking about a ground-based anti-missile system for intercepting medium-range missiles, which was adopted by the US Army in 2008. “According to a representative of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, one of the systems that Kiev may request is the THAAD anti-missile system, produced by Lockheed Martin,” the statement said. The head of the Verkhovna Rada Defense Committee, Roman Kostenko, previously told journalists that Ukraine does not have weapons to repel the attacks of Oreshnik. At the same time, he added that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not stop striking at Russian territory. As reported by the Regnum news agency, on November 21, President Vladimir Putin said that the Russian Armed Forces had struck the Yuzhmash plant in Dnepropetrovsk with a ballistic missile in a non-nuclear hypersonic configuration. The missile hit one of the largest weapons complexes in Ukraine. There are no means of counteracting the latest Russian missiles, the president emphasized. The Oreshnik ballistic missile that hit Yuzhmash is hypersonic, it is invulnerable to all existing air defense systems and can be equipped with a nuclear "filling", noted military observer Alexander Butyrin. The development of the Oreshnik was carried out in the strictest secrecy, he added. During his address, Putin noted that in recent days, long-range weapons of Western countries were used against Russia, and stated that after this, the conflict in Ukraine acquired a global character. Those who doubt that Russia is ready for any development of events doubt in vain, the head of state emphasized. Posted by: badanov 2024-11-23 |
