It is possible that the Russian Federation can re -start the "Oreshnik" in Ukraine - FT

The US official stated that the Russian Federation wanted to use this weapon to intimidate Ukraine, but Orezhnik still does not change the rules of the game on the battlefield. Russia is looking at the possibility of inflicting a second blow to the territory of Ukraine with a ballistic missile of the Medium Range "Orezhnik" for this weekend. This was reported by Financial Times, citing an unnamed representative of the US National Security Council.

"As Putin has publicly stated, Russia intends to launch another experimental rocket" Orezhnik "in Ukraine, and it is possible that he can do so in the coming days," the official said. He noted that despite the fact that Russia wanted to use this "weapon for intimidation" of Ukraine and its partners, "Oreshnik" still does not change the rules of the game on the battlefield.

" "But the reality is that Russia probably has only a few such experimental missiles, and these weapons carry a smaller warhead than other missiles that Russia regularly launched in Ukraine," the US Council representative said. On November 20, it was reported that the Russian Federation can prepare a blow to Ukraine with a strategic missile of PC-26 "Rubezh". The start was planned from the landfill in the Astrakhan region.

On November 21, according to the Air Force command, the Armed Forces attacked enterprises and critical infrastructure of the Dnieper with rockets of different types. In addition to the usual rockets of the Russian Federation, an intercontinental ballistic missile from the Astrakhan region was recorded in the Ukrainian airspace. GUR stated that the launch was probably made from the Kedr missile complex.
