According to US intelligence assessment, Russia may uses its new medium-range ballistic missile “Oreshnik” against Ukraine in the “coming days”, Reuters reported, citing a representative of President Joe Biden's administration, quoted by BTA.
The rocket "Oreshnik" is considered by the US government primarily as a tool of intimidation, rather than an important factor that could change the course of hostilities in Ukraine.
The source added that Russia has a small number of these missiles. In addition, the nuclear warheads that “Oreshnik” can carry are smaller compared to those of the missiles with which Russia regularly fires at Ukraine.
