Russia's New Missile and Its Implications
Russia has unveiled its new intermediate-range ballistic missile, the Oresnik, boasting its speed and nuclear capability. This missile, capable of flying at Mach 10, was presented as a response to Western support for Ukraine, especially after recent missile strikes using US and European-made weapons.
