Pentagon: America and Ukraine are evaluating the effects of the Russian “Orshnik” missile
A Pentagon spokesman said the United States is helping Ukraine assess the impact of Russia’s attack with a powerful new intermediate-range Orshnik missile.
According to RCO News Agency, Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh told reporters on Monday: “It’s still something we’re working on with the Ukrainians, so I don’t feel good about saying that, but when we have more to offer, that’s We will do the work.”
According to Novosti, he referred reporters to Ukrainian forces for more details.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a televised speech on Thursday that Ukraine had fired at facilities in the Kursk and Bryansk regions with American Atcoms missiles and British Storm Shadow missiles.
In response, Russia launched an attack on a defense industry facility, the Yuzhmash plant, in Dnipropetrovsk on November 21 using its latest intermediate-range missile, the Orshnik. Moscow also updated its nuclear doctrine earlier in the week.
Following the firing of the Orshnik missile into Ukraine, Kyiv collected its remains and is investigating. After this show of power, the former president of Russia, while strongly warning European countries about supporting the war in Ukraine, pointed to the deployment of his country’s hypersonic missile system and its ability to carry nuclear warheads.
Dmitry Medvedev, the current vice-chairman of the Russian Security Council, wrote in the Telegram messenger: “Europe is investigating what damage it can cause if the Russian hypersonic missile system carries nuclear warheads!” “Europe is also investigating whether it is possible to destroy these missiles and how quickly these missiles can reach the capitals of the Old World.”
He himself continued to answer: “The answer is that the damages caused by this issue will be unacceptable, and it is impossible to track them without modern tools, and here the issue of minutes is raised.”
“Daily Mail” newspaper on Saturday, citing Russian military sources, wrote in a report: “Orshnik” is a hypersonic missile that can fly at a speed of 10 times the speed of sound or about 7,600 miles per hour to a range of almost 5,000 kilometers or 3,100 miles.
Referring to Russia’s military prowess, this English newspaper emphasized: “The President of Russia can easily attack any target in Europe or Britain with this weapon alone, without using his other most powerful weapons. “This medium-range Russian missile will reach London in 20 minutes and Berlin in less than 15 minutes.”
