Putin compares Russia’s new missile to meteorite

The Oreshnik is capable of penetrating three or four fortified stories, the president has said

The strike power of Russia’s new state-of-the-art Oreshnik ballistic missile is similar to a powerful meteorite impact, President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday. The hypersonic weapon is capable of successfully hitting heavily fortified targets, he added. 

Moscow already has several such missiles at its disposal and has begun mass production of the advanced weapon system, he told a summit of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) in Kazakhstan’s capital, Astana.
