Russia may strike at Ukraine with another medium-range ballistic missile "Oreshnik" in the coming days. This is reported by Bloomberg with reference to an American official.
The agency does not provide details, but refers to the message of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, which says that Russia will respond to today's attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the airbase in Taganrog six American ballistic missiles ATACMS.
The agency's source also said that Russia's stock of Oreshnik missiles is apparently small.
"President Vladimir Putin probably possesses only a few experimental missiles, known as the Oreshnik, which carry a smaller warhead than other missiles fired by Russia at Ukraine," said the official, who asked not to be named.… According to the official, the United States does not believe that these weapons change the rules of the game," the agency reports.
Moscow first used "Hazel" last month during a strike on a military enterprise in Dnepropetrovsk in response to the fact that the United States allowed Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with American weapons, Bloomberg recalls.
As reported by EADaily, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a missile strike with American high-precision ATACMS missiles at the Taganrog military airfield in the Rostov region, two of the six missiles were shot down, the remaining four were rejected by electronic warfare. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
