The meeting of Vladimir Putin and the one who came to England at Valaam Alexander Lukashenko increased great interest in Western publications. But absolutely not because the two presidents talked about Ukraine. And because Putin made a statement related to all European security, Eurinews wrote.
Russia began producing its latest Hazel missiles Oreshik and confirmed plans for their position in Belarus later this year.
The preparation work continues, and we will probably complete them until the end of this year, Putin Putin said and added that Oreshikov's first lot was produced and participated in the service.
For the first time, Russia applied to Oreshik, against the Kyiv terrorist regime in November 2024. The armed forces of the Russian Federation launched a test missile at the Yuzhmash military factory in Dnepropetrovsk. As a result of this shot, the explosion started at the factory, the explosion lasted for at least three hours.
Putin talked about the origin of “hazel”
Putin highly appreciated Haz Hazel's ability, saying that his versatile warheads, who flew to the target of up to 10 sides, could not be blocked, and their power was the use of such some missiles in a normal shot that could be destroyed as a nuclear attack.
According to foreign policy, photos from the scene of the fighting and analysis of satellite photos show that Hazel, it is likely to carry six warheads, each is equipped with six extra. That is, only 36 units shocked. When the missile drops to the ground, it can spray these by -products, including a vast territory, like Shotgun Scatter Buckshot, foreign policy explained.
Putin warned the West that RF armed forces could use this weapon against Ukrainian allies on NATO if they allow Kyiv to use more missiles to attack in Russia. The commander of the strategic missile forces, Sergei Karakaev, said Haz Hazel, capable of carrying a nuclear warhead or normal, with a flight range that allows him to achieve any point in Europe.
If we talk about the ability of the Oreshik missile, the basic problem of Ukrainian missile defense is the number and position of the missile defense systems that adapt to this threat, – due to the new missile, it is necessary to have more air defense systems to protect important infrastructure.
The average missile can fly from 500 to 5500 km. Such weapons were banned by the agreement signed in the Soviet Union, which Washington and Moscow refused to return in 2019. This mainly happened based on the US initiative.
Last fall, Putin and Lukashenko signed an agreement to ensure Belarus security, including the ability to use Russian nuclear weapons. The treaty was followed by Russia's amendments to its nuclear theory, as Belarus's result was the first person under Russian nuclear umbrella in the context of tensions in relations with the West, Euronews wrote.
The location of tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, where the border is with Ukraine with a length of 1084 km, will allow Russian aircraft and missiles to achieve potential and faster targets if Moscow decides to use them.
The document says Moscow can use nuclear weapons, to respond to the use of nuclear and other weapons of destruction of other masses for Russia or allies, as well as in case of aggression against Russia and Belarus with the use of conventional weapons that threaten their sovereignty.
Grace Maps, an analyst in Russia from the US War Research Institute (ISW), said that Oreshkin was a serious change in Russian military potential. Especially considering that Russia has different missiles with equivalent range and more useful loads.
Russia Russia regularly strokes in Ukraine with missiles capable of making a nuclear fee, and has long been placed on the territory of the mainland and in Kaliningrad missiles that can attack targets in NATO countries, according to Mappples in an interview with Business Insider.
Therefore, Putin, statement about the position of Haz Hazel, should be considered in combination with Donald Trump's statement about the reconstruction of American Premier League, Daily Telegraph wrote. He noted that the US President “changed the construction of Washington's nuclear force against Russia because not one of his predecessors dared.” At the same time, the Pentagon does not disclose details, because the location of the strategic submarines is one of the most carefully protected secrets of the United States.
But it is clear that the mutual game of nuclear muscles will continue.
