Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed that the mass deployment of the Oreshnik intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) could rival the destructive power of nuclear weapons, highlighting its precision and strategic potential.
During a meeting with military officials, defense industry representatives, and missile system developers in Moscow on Friday, Putin said the Oreshnik is not only an ICBM and a means of mass destruction but also a high-precision weapon.
"I would like to emphasize one more aspect here. The Oreshnik missile system is not just an effective hypersonic weapon. Due to its striking power, especially when used en masse and in combination with other long-range precision systems that Russia also has, using it against enemy targets will be comparable in effect and power to using strategic weapons," he said.

Karakayev praised the system’s ability to overcome current and future missile defense mechanisms, describing its hypersonic warheads as effective against diverse targets, including heavily fortified ones.
"Given the weapon’s designated tasks and range, it can hit targets across Europe, offering significant advantages over other types of long-range precision weapons. As you earlier noted, the mass use of this weapon would be comparable to the use of nuclear weapons," he said.

Russia should accept this chalk it up as a win.

Not until they take out the US base in Poland, and take the Suwalki Corridor connecting Belarus with Kaliningrad through Lithuania.
You do realize that you sad tactic of invoking Hitler 24x7x365 just outs you as a creepy leftist Antifa member, right?
“All of this would stop if Russia would just leave Ukraine.”
That isn’t an argument to logic, it is a prayer. Globohomos are losing the war.
Precisely!
How people, especially in Europe, can look at this and say, who cares, flabbergasts me. Listen to Putin’s last speech. We are at war. Not wanting to put their foot firmly on that LAST counter escalatory rung, the Russians are mid step, showing us what that rung will look like.
Do the math on the kilo-tonnage that would have been deployed had those 36 flashes in Dnipro been Avangard missiles had been doubled or tripled over Ramstein.

You’re right. America and NATO have supplanted the Hermit Kingdom as the world’s leading psychos.
There could be negotiations that would satisfy everyone but no one has even tried that. There aren’t just two choices, leave or die.
I want you to consider this. The Oreshnik delivery system showcased by the Russians travels at speeds from MACH 10 to MACH 20+ while in range of our best air defense. Any point in Europe is completely vulnerable to being hit.
WE CAN’T STOP THEM!!
Each Oreshnik configured as the Dnipro one was can potentially deliver nearly a kilo-ton of TNT equivalent over target, CONVENTIONALLY! Our only counter would be crossing the nuclear threshold.
The Russians have all the lift rockets they could ever need by mounting Oreshnik atop old ICBMs in inventory. Have you informed yourself of the massive Russian military industrial miracle that has transpired over the last two years or are you still gagging down your usual western disinfo on the subject? How many warheads do the Russians have?
As LBJ might have said, if the Russians start firing off their Oreshniks, NATO will be like a jack ass caught in a hail storm. NATO will have to stand there and take it.
The brain dead don’t realize Vlad gave NATO a warning with his strike on Dnipro with SuperSonics. NATO gets it, which is why the emergency meeting with NATO on 26 Nov.
There will be a lot of panic at the meeting. NATO has no defense, and the ability of Vlad to wipe out every city from London to Brussels in minutes without nukes changes the whole game.
Bkmk
You and I both know that.
Others on FR, not so much.
Imagine if these missles were loaded into subs, which can lie undetected off the US coast....
Guess where the Nasi’z landed after WW2. That’s right, NATO
It has to be on rails (on a straightaway) to handle the recoil.
And it could hit Paris from within Germany. Not tactical artillery.
It was never intended to be fully portable.
Made obsolete by the V2.
I was pretty sure I was going to get a history lesson for posting that.... but I let it go anyway XD XD
