The Russian ambassador commented on the attempts of the West to create an analogue of the "Hazel Tree"

Russia will move forward while the West tries to create an analogue of the Russian Oreshnik ballistic missile system. This was announced on February 19 by Russian Ambassador to France Alexei Meshkov.

"The West will strive to create similar types of weapons, but until they do, Russia will go far ahead," Meshkov said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

He added that European countries have repeatedly changed their attitude towards the Oreshnik — at first they did not believe in the power of the ballistic complex, and then they were afraid of its capabilities.
