There was something, but it was not huge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile strike was a successful test and that it reached its target &#8211; a missile and defence enterprise in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Ukraine has seldom disclosed information about airstrikes on military targets since Russia&#8217;s February 2022 invasion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Putin also said Russia would continue to test the Oreshnik in combat and that it had a stock ready for use. Kyiv has said Ukraine is already working to develop air systems to counter the weapon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">U.S. officials have said Russia probably possesses only a handful of these missiles, which Western experts say appears to have been derived from the RS-26 intermediate-range ballistic missile.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Leaving out the explosives in a &#8220;reentry vehicle&#8221; &#8211; the heat-shielded part of the missile that carries the warhead &#8211; leaves room for instrumentation, which countries testing missile designs can use to measure performance, experts say.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">It is not publicly known whether the Russian warheads carried such gear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">The RS-26 has a reported range of more than 5,000 km (3100 miles) although the missile that struck Ukraine from the Russian region of Astrakhan region flew only about 700 km.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">&#8220;I would say this is an incredibly expensive way to deliver what is probably not that much destruction,&#8221; said Jeffrey Lewis, director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Program at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in California.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">(Reporting by Tom Balmforth in Kyiv and Gerry Doyle in Singapore, Editing by Timothy Heritage)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/russian-missile-fired-ukraine-carried-173413427.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tom Balmforth and Gerry Doyle KYIV (Reuters) &#8211; A new ballistic missile fired by Russia at the Ukrainian city of Dnipro last week carried multiple warheads but no explosives, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=130490\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-130490","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-world","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=130490"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130490\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=130490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=130490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=130490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
