Russia's hits Ukraine's Dnipro with hypersonic ballistic missile in response to ATACM attack: What it means

Op India  

In what would be the first use of such a potent nuclear-capable weapon in the more than 1,000-day war Ukraine Air Force claimed on Thursday that Russia had fired an intercontinental ballistic missile towards the Ukrainian city of Dnipro. Russian President Vladimir Putin, however, responded to the Ukrainian Air Force’s allegations by saying that Russia launched a hypersonic medium-range ballistic missile attack on a Ukrainian military installation, demonstrating Moscow’s capacity to target any nation whose armed forces were used against Russia. Ukraine first suggested that Russia fired an intercontinental ballistic missile, a weapon designed for long-range nuclear strikes that had never been used in warfare. As per Putin’s press briefing, it was the latest Oreshnik missile system that Russia used for ‘combat testing’ on Ukraine, displaying that they are capable of hitting anywhere in Ukraine with nuclear weapons and they have a missile system that can evade the defence systems deployed in Ukraine.
