TL;DR Summary
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the deployment of a new hypersonic missile, Oreshnik, following Western attacks on Russian territory. The missile, capable of reaching speeds up to Mach 11, is not an upgrade of Soviet-era systems but a new innovation with significant destructive potential. Putin emphasized that current defense systems cannot intercept such missiles, marking a significant escalation in the Ukraine conflict. The development signals Russia's response to the US's withdrawal from the INF treaty and highlights ongoing geopolitical tensions.
