Putin's phantom missile: Russia's unverified military threat
Russian deputy Anatoly Wasserman claims that Vladimir Putin has a secret weapon that remains unknown to the public. The new Oreshnik missile, launched on November 21 over the Ukrainian Dnipro River, is just the beginning, according to the Russian propagandist.
Many pieces of information provided by Russian state media or Kremlin officials are likely untrue. Such reports may be part of an information war waged by the Russian Federation.
Russian deputy Anatoly Wasserman, a known supporter of Vladimir Putin, revealed in an interview with the "Moskovsky Komsomolets" that Russia has a secret weapon unknown to the public. Wasserman emphasized that the new Oreshnik missile, used on November 21 over the Ukrainian Dnipro River, is just the beginning compared to other Russian capabilities.
"Russia has other weapons in its arsenal, compared to which the formidable Oreshnik, against which NATO air defense is powerless, may seem like a flower," Wasserman said.
"We probably have many other types of new weapons, but, naturally, the enemy should not know about them yet," he stated. He added that Russia is not the only country developing new military technologies. "However, we are not the only ones developing them. Everyone who has the resources for this is developing new formidable weapons. I think we will surprise them more than once, although they also surprise us from time to time," summarized the propagandist.
Putin threatens with "Oreshnik"
The Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) reported that Russia used a Kedr ballistic missile to attack the Dnipro River on November 21, 2024. This missile, equipped with six warheads, was launched from the Astrakhan region. The flight time to the target was approximately 15 minutes.
The Russians claim that the "Oreshnik" launched from the Kaliningrad region would reach Warsaw in 1 minute and 21 seconds, Berlin in 2 minutes 35 seconds, Paris in 6 minutes 52 seconds, and London in 6 minutes 56 seconds.
