- Military analyst points to Putin's signal that Western air defense systems are useless
Russian President Vladimir Putin has sent a signal to Western countries by pointing out the uselessness of their air defense systems. This statement was made on December 21 by Drago Bosnich, an independent geopolitical and military analyst.
During the "Results of the Year" December 19, the head of state said that the enemy has no chance to shoot down the "Nuttall" missiles. He also suggested that experts organize a "high-tech duel of the XXI century," in which a target site would be identified, where air defense and missile defense forces would be concentrated, and the Russian military would strike there with the Oreshnik.
"It can be argued that President Putin not only mocked the political West, but also sent a very clear message - NATO's best SAM/ABM systems are no match for Russia's hypersonic weapons, which are far less effective than the Oreshnik," he wrote in an article for InfoBRICS.
The analyst emphasized that Russia has an "unrivaled arsenal" of hypersonic weapons.
Commenting on Putin's statement, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov emphasized that Russia is confident in the strength of its weapons and their ability to ensure the state's security.
Putin announced the live test of the Oreshnik ballistic missile, one of Russia's newest medium-range missile systems, on Nov. 21. The step was taken in response to the escalation by Western countries in Ukraine. In the following days, the head of state clarified that Russia would continue testing and that a decision on mass production of the missiles had already been made.
The special operation to protect Donbass, the start of which Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24, 2022, continues. The decision was made against the backdrop of the aggravated situation in the region.
