Putin's new secret weapon: The Oreshnik missile is just the start

Many of the reports provided by Russian state media or Kremlin officials are likely false. The Russian Federation may be using such reports as part of an information warfare strategy.

Anatoly Wasserman, a known supporter of Vladimir Putin, revealed in a conversation with "Moskovsky Komsomolets" that Russia possesses a secret weapon that remains unknown to many. He emphasized that the new Oreshnik missile, used on November 21st on the Ukrainian Dnieper, is merely a "flower" compared to Russia's other 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 - said Wasserman.

- We probably have many other types of new weapons, but, naturally, the enemy should not know about them yet - he continued. 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 - summed up the propagandist.

The Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) reported that Russia used a Kedr ballistic missile to attack the Dnieper on November 21, 2024. This missile, equipped with six warheads, was launched from the Astrakhan region, with a 15-minute flight time to the target.

A Kremlin spokesman stated that 30 minutes before the strike, Moscow sent the United States "an automatic notification through the Nuclear Risk Reduction Center."

Russians claim that the "Oreshnik" launched from the Kaliningrad region can reach Warsaw in 1 and 21 seconds, Berlin in 2 and 35 seconds, Paris in 6 and 52 seconds, and London in 6 and 56 seconds.
