Putin Challenges West to 'High-Tech Duel' in Kyiv Using Hypersonic Oreshnik Missile
Dec 19, 2024, 11:15 AM
Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed a 'technological duel' with the United States to demonstrate the capabilities of Russia's new hypersonic Oreshnik missile. Speaking on Thursday, Putin suggested that Western nations select a target in Kyiv and concentrate all their air and missile defense systems there, while Russia would launch the Oreshnik missile at the target. He asserted that the missile is impossible to intercept, stating, 'No one has a chance of shooting down the Oreshnik.' Putin emphasized that Russia is ready for such an experiment, describing it as a 'high-tech duel' that would showcase the missile's effectiveness against any U.S. missile defense system.
