New threats to use Oreshnik missiles even at decision-making centers in Kiev were issued by Vladimir Putin speaking at a summit in Astana today.

As the Guardian reports, Putin claimed that Russia has the capacity to produce ten times more missiles than all NATO countries combined.

He claimed that the first Oreshnik strike last week “was a response to the enemy’s attacks,” implying Ukrainian attacks with US and British missiles.

According to the Russian president, in fact, “there is no missile in the world that looks like the Oreshnik,” estimating that it will be a long time before the West builds similar weapons.

In this context, he warned that if Russia needed to go ahead with a massive Oreshnik missile attack, the strike would resemble a nuclear attack.

US and British analyses say that the Oreshnik missiles used in the Dnipro attack have a theoretical range of 5,500 km and thus can hit all of Europe but not the US.

Concluding their reference to Oreshnik, Putin reportedly said that new missile systems could be used while Russia continues its testing.
