Russia has escalated its military campaign by launching the new "Oreshnik" ballistic missile with a hypersonic warhead against Ukraine's Dnipro city. President Putin announced this as direct retaliation for Ukraine's use of Western-provided long-range weapons. The deployment of this reportedly "unstoppable" missile system marks a significant escalation in Russia's military capabilities and tactical approach to the conflict.

00:00I would like to inform the personnel of the Russian Armed Forces, the citizens of our country, our friends around the world,
00:08as well as those who continue to have illusions about the possibility of a strategic defeat of Russia,
00:15about the events that are taking place today in the area of special military operations,
00:21namely, after the use of long-range weapons of the Western production in our territory.
00:29Continuing the course of the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine provoked by the West,
00:33the United States and its NATO allies have previously stated that they allow the use of their long-range,
00:41high-precision weapons in the territory of the Russian Federation.
00:46The experts are well aware, and the Russian side has repeatedly emphasized,
00:51that it is impossible to use such weapons without the direct participation of military experts,
00:56the countries that produce such weapons.
01:01On November 19, the United States produced six operational-tactical missile attacks,
01:08and on November 21, during a combined missile attack by the Storm Shadow systems produced by the United Kingdom
01:16and the US-produced HIMARS, military objects were hit in the territory of the Russian Federation in the Bryansk and Kursk regions.
01:27Since that moment, as we have repeatedly emphasized, the regional conflict in Ukraine provoked by the West has acquired elements of a global nature.
01:39Our air defense systems have reflected these attacks.
01:43As a result, the targets that were obviously set by the enemy were not achieved.
01:51The ammunition depots in the Bryansk region were destroyed by the missile attacks.
01:58There were no casualties or serious damage in the Kursk region.
02:04The attack was carried out on one of the command posts of our Northern Group.
02:09As a result of the attack and the air defense, there are, unfortunately, casualties,
02:15casualties and wounded from the personnel of the external security units of the object and the service personnel.
02:24The command and operational staff of the command post were not injured and are carrying out the command actions of our troops
02:33to destroy and destroy the enemy units in the Kursk region.
02:39I would like to emphasize once again that the use of such weapons by the enemy is not able to influence the course of hostilities in the Special Operations Zone.
02:49Our troops are successfully advancing along the entire line of combat.
02:55All the tasks that we are setting for ourselves will be achieved.
03:01In response to the use of American and British long-range weapons on November 21,
03:07the Russian Armed Forces delivered a combined strike on one of the facilities of the Ukrainian defense-industrial complex.
03:16In the combat conditions, one of the newest Russian medium-range missile systems was tested.
03:27In this case, it was a ballistic missile with a non-nuclear hypersonic equipment.
03:34Our missile operators called it the Nutcracker.
03:38The tests were successful. The launch target has been achieved.
03:44One of the largest and most famous industrial complexes since the Soviet Union was built in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine,
03:54which still produces missile technology and other weapons.
03:59The development of medium- and long-range missiles is being carried out by us as a response to the United States plans
04:06for the production and deployment of medium- and long-range missiles in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
04:14We believe that the United States made a mistake by destroying the agreement on the liquidation of medium- and long-range missiles
04:21in a one-sided manner in 2019, under the pretext that it was intended to do so.
04:26Today, the United States not only produces such equipment, but, as we can see,
04:31during the preparations of its troops, it has worked out issues of transfer to different regions of the world,
04:38including Europe, of its promising missile systems.
04:43Moreover, during the exercises, it conducts training on their application.
04:48Let me remind you that Russia has voluntarily, in a one-sided manner,
04:53taken upon itself the obligation not to deploy medium- and long-range missiles until American weapons of this kind appear in any region of the world.
05:04I repeat, the tests carried out in the combat conditions of the Oreshnik missile system are being carried out by us
05:11as a response to the aggressive actions of NATO countries towards Russia.
05:15The issue of further deployment of medium- and long-range missiles will be resolved by us,
05:21depending on the actions of the United States and its satellites.
05:25Objects for destruction during further tests of our latest missile systems will be determined by us,
05:32based on the threat to the security of the Russian Federation.
05:36We consider ourselves entitled to use our weapons against military objects of those countries
05:42that allow us to use our own weapons against our own objects.
05:47And in the event of an escalation of aggressive actions, we will also respond decisively and mirroredly.
05:55I recommend this to the ruling elite of those countries that are making plans to use their military contingents against Russia.
06:06Of course, in the event of a need and as a response measure to objects for destruction by such systems as Oreshnik on the territory of Ukraine,
06:16we will offer to the civilians in advance, as well as ask the friendly states that are there to leave the dangerous zones.
06:25We will do this on a humanitarian basis, openly, publicly, without fear of confrontation from the enemy,
06:34who is also receiving this information.
06:37Why without fear?
06:39Because there are no means of counteraction to such weapons today.
06:46Missiles attack targets at a speed of 10 mach, which is 2.5-3 km per second.
06:53Modern anti-aircraft defense systems in the world and anti-missile defense systems created by the Americans in Europe do not intercept such missiles.
07:06This is out of the question.
07:09I would like to stress once again that it was not Russia, but the United States that destroyed the international security system.
07:17And by continuing to fight, clinging to their hegemony, they are pushing the whole world to a global conflict.
07:25We have always preferred, and are now ready to solve all controversial issues with peaceful means.
07:31But we are also ready for any development of events.
07:35If anyone still doubts this, then it is in vain.
07:40There will always be an answer.
