Russia’s missile forces chief has declared that Oreshnik, which can carry conventional or nuclear warheads, has a range allowing it to reach all of Europe.

Putin says Russia's new hypersonic missile is combat-ready and will be stationed in Belarus, signalling a sharp escalation in Moscow's standoff with NATO.

Russia first used the Oreshnik against Ukraine in November, when it fired the experimental weapon at a factory in Dnipro that built missiles when Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union. View on euronews
