Russia warned the United States half an hour before the launch of the Oreshnik missile through the Russian National Center for Reducing Nuclear Danger. This was stated by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov.
"The center operates automatically and maintains constant communication with a similar system of the United States of America. The warning was sent in a clear automatic mode 30 minutes before the launch," Peskov told TASS.
The Russian side did not inform the United States about the launch of the Oreshnik in accordance with the agreements on the launch of intercontinental ballistic missiles, because the Oreshnik is not such, it is a medium-range weapon, Peskov noted.
As reported, Russia was not obliged to warn anyone about the tests of the Oreshnik medium-range missile. This was stated by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov.
"Russia should not have informed anyone, because we are talking about a medium-range missile. Russia has no such obligations," Peskov said, quoted by RIA Novosti.
