Medvedev explained the reason for the US warning about Russia's use of "Oreshnik"

Russia has sent a warning to the US side about its intention to use the Oreshnik missile system in the course of military actions in Ukraine in order to avoid an international conflict. Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council (SB) Dmitry Medvedev said on November 27.

"As is known, that a ballistic hypersonic missile, which was named "Oreshnik", will be used, we have informed the Americans, because we have such agreements and obligations with them, so that no international conflict, a conflict of a different scale, has already arisen," he said in an interview with the Arabic TV channel Al Arabiya.

The politician added that this reaction from Moscow came after Ukraine itself used long-range missiles, taking the situation on the front to a more tense point.

"Nevertheless, bearing in mind what happened, it certainly moves the conflict to a much more tense stage, it is an escalation of the conflict," Medvedev said.

Russia has sent a signal to the West. What the media write about the launch of "Oreshnik"

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Nov. 21 that Ukraine had used Western long-range weapons against the Russian state, causing the regional conflict to take on elements of a global conflict. He then revealed that one of Russia's newest medium-range missile systems, the Oreshnik ballistic missile, had been tested under combat conditions. The strike was aimed at the Yuzhmash plant in Dnepropetrovsk.

At the same time, Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh said during a briefing that Russia had notified Washington about the launch of the Oreshnik. At the same time, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov explained on November 22 that Moscow had not warned the United States about the launch of Russia's new medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) "Oreshnik," but that an automatic alert had been triggered.

Retired U.S. Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson told Izvestia on November 27 that U.S. ATACMS and British Storm Shadow missiles are like "children's toys" compared to the capabilities of Russia's Oreshnik missile systems.

At the same time, the president of the National Research Center (NRC) "Kurchatov Institute" Mikhail Kovalchuk said in a conversation with Izvestia that the successful creation of the Russian Oreshnik ballistic missile paved the way for developments that in the future could be operated at even higher temperatures.
