Putin Displays Hypersonic Hellfire Horror In Final Warning To West
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
A beyond foreboding new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first notes that after President Putin authorized a secretive Oreshnik hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile strike on Ukraine yesterday, he addressed the nation to give a final warning to the West:
I would like to inform the military personnel of the Russian Federation Armed Forces, citizens of our country, our friends across the globe, and those who persist in the illusion that a strategic defeat can be inflicted upon Russia, about the events taking place today in the zone of the special military operation, specifically following the attacks by Western long-range weapons against our territory.
The escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, instigated by the West, continues with the United States and its NATO allies previously announcing that they authorise the use of their long-range high-precision weapons for strikes inside the Russian Federation. Experts are well aware, and the Russian side has repeatedly highlighted it, that the use of such weapons is not possible without the direct involvement of military experts from the manufacturing nations.
On November 19, six ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles produced by the United States, and on November 21, during a combined missile assault involving British Storm Shadow systems and HIMARS systems produced by the US, attacked military facilities inside the Russian Federation in the Bryansk and Kursk regions. From that point onward, as we have repeatedly emphasised in prior communications, the regional conflict in Ukraine provoked by the West has assumed elements of a global nature. Our air defence systems successfully counteracted these incursions, preventing the enemy from achieving their apparent objectives.
The fire at the ammunition depot in the Bryansk Region, caused by the debris of ATACMS missiles, was extinguished without casualties or significant damage. In the Kursk Region, the attack targeted one of the command posts of our group North. Regrettably, the attack and the subsequent air defence battle resulted in casualties, both fatalities and injuries, among the perimeter security units and servicing staff. However, the command and operational staff of the control centre suffered no casualties and continues to manage effectively the operations of our forces to eliminate and push enemy units out of the Kursk Region.
I wish to underscore once again that the use by the enemy of such weapons cannot affect the course of combat operations in the special military operation zone. Our forces are making successful advances along the entire line of contact, and all objectives we have set will be accomplished.
In response to the deployment of American and British long-range weapons, on November 21, the Russian Armed Forces delivered a combined strike on a facility within Ukraine’s defence industrial complex. In field conditions, we also carried out tests of one of Russia’s latest medium-range missile systems – in this case, carrying a non-nuclear hypersonic ballistic missile that our engineers named Oreshnik. The tests were successful, achieving the intended objective of the launch. In the city of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, one of the largest and most famous industrial complexes from the Soviet Union era, which continues to produce missiles and other armaments, was hit.
We are developing intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles in response to US plans to produce and deploy intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. We believe that the United States made a mistake by unilaterally destroying the INF Treaty in 2019 under a far-fetched pretext. Today, the United States is not only producing such equipment, but, as we can see, it has worked out ways to deploy its advanced missile systems to different regions of the world, including Europe, during training exercises for its troops. Moreover, in the course of these exercises, they are conducting training for using them.
As a reminder, Russia has voluntarily and unilaterally committed not to deploy intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles until US weapons of this kind appear in any region of the world.
To reiterate, we are conducting combat tests of the Oreshnik missile system in response to NATO’s aggressive actions against Russia. Our decision on further deployment of intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles will depend on the actions of the United States and its satellites.
We will determine the targets during further tests of our advanced missile systems based on the threats to the security of the Russian Federation. We consider ourselves entitled to use our weapons against military facilities of those countries that allow to use their weapons against our facilities, and in case of an escalation of aggressive actions, we will respond decisively and in mirror-like manner. I recommend that the ruling elites of the countries that are hatching plans to use their military contingents against Russia seriously consider this.
It goes without saying that when choosing, if necessary and as a retaliatory measure, targets to be hit by systems such as Oreshnik on Ukrainian territory, we will in advance suggest that civilians and citizens of friendly countries residing in those areas leave danger zones. We will do so for humanitarian reasons, openly and publicly, without fear of counter-moves coming from the enemy, who will also be receiving this information.
Why without fear? Because there are no means of countering such weapons today. Missiles attack targets at a speed of Mach 10, which is 2.5 to 3 kilometres per second. Air defence systems currently available in the world and missile defence systems being created by the Americans in Europe cannot intercept such missiles. It is impossible.
I would like to emphasise once again that it was not Russia, but the United States that destroyed the international security system and, by continuing to fight, cling to its hegemony, they are pushing the whole world into a global conflict.
We have always preferred and are ready now to resolve all disputes by peaceful means. But we are also ready for any turn of events.
If anyone still doubts this, make no mistake: there will always be a response.
Following the unstoppable Oreshnik hypersonic missile strike on Ukraine, this report notes, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh lyingly claimed that the American government had been notified about the launch beforehand through Nuclear Risk Reduction channels, which caused top Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov to truthfully declare: “Russia did not send advance notifications to the United States or other countries about the use of the Oreshnik hypersonic missile on a Ukrainian military-industrial facility as there are no such obligations”.
After President Putin issued his final warning to the West, this report continues, Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev posted a video of the hypersonic hellfire horror unleashed on Ukraine adding the message to the West: “So, that’s what you wanted?…Well, you’ve damn well got it!…A hypersonic ballistic missile attack”—State Duma leader Leonid Slutsky posted a declaration to the West: “Given the presence of advanced weapons in the Russian Army, such as Oreshnik, it is better not to play with fire and not even try to provoke!”—and former Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl warned the West: “There is more in the Russian arsenal than many believe…Neither the US nor other countries of the world currently possess air defense systems capable of intercepting Russia’s new hypersonic missiles”.
In response to the Oreshnik hypersonic hellfire horror unleashed on his country, this report details, unelected usurper Ukrainian Dictator Vladimir Zelensky raged: “The world must respond…Right now, there is no strong reaction from the world…This sends a message to Russia that such behavior is acceptable…Russia must be forced into real peace, which can only be achieved through strength…Otherwise, there will be endless Russian strikes, threats, and destabilization – not just against Ukraine”—the leftist New York Times reported: “Ukraine’s Parliament canceled a session on Friday over a warning that Russia could target the building in an attack with a missile that Ukraine’s air defenses cannot shoot down…This is the first time Parliament has canceled a session since Russia invaded Ukraine”—and the Kiev Post reported: “NATO and Ukraine will hold talks next week in Brussels over Russia’s firing of an experimental hypersonic intermediate-range missile, diplomats said on Friday….Ambassadors from countries in the NATO-Ukraine Council will meet on Tuesday to discuss the strike on the city of Dnipro” then revealed: “The US military website Defense One published a report on Wednesday of the attendance of ten Ukrainian armed forces personnel along with ten members of the Security Services of Ukraine at a week-long training course to learn and practice methods for the forensic collection of debris following a nuclear detonation at the Idaho National Laboratory”.
Earlier today, this report notes, Defense Minister Andrei Belousov declared after meeting with his top commanders on the front lines: “The Russian armed forces have disrupted the entire 2025 campaign of the Ukrainian armed forces”—a declaration joined by the BBC article “Ukraine Could ‘Collapse’ As Russia Gains Accelerate, Experts Warn”, wherein it revealed: “Data from the Institute for the Study of War shows that Russia has gained almost six times as much territory in 2024 as it did in 2023, and is advancing towards key Ukrainian logistical hubs in the eastern Donbas region…Meanwhile, Ukraine’s surprise incursion into Russia’s Kursk region is faltering…Russian troops have pushed Kyiv’s offensive backwards…Experts have questioned the success of the offensive, with one calling it a “strategic catastrophe” given manpower shortages faced by Ukraine”.
In knowing that President Putin will unleash Oreshnik hypersonic hellfire horror on the West should another one of its long-range missile strike Russia, this report concludes, the Wall Street Journal fearfully assessed today: “President Joe Biden has been notably quiet since the Democrats gut-wrenching defeat at the polls…Biden left it to allies Emmanuel Macron of France and Justin Trudeau of Canada to offer public explanations of his critical decision to loosen restrictions on Ukraine’s use of longer-range American weapons in its war with Russia…This dangerous time for our country and the world could be made less dangerous if patriots on both sides of the political aisle would acknowledge Mr. Biden’s situation and call for the president-elect immediately to take a larger role in White House discussions of foreign policy”—a fearful assessment urging President Donald Trump to come to the aid of America coming on the 61st anniversary of President John Kennedy being publicly executed on 22 November 1963 after he tried to stop the Vietnam War—and is a history of what happens to those opposing American warmongers that explains Fox News revealing today: “The Trump-Vance transition team has still not signed documents required to formally begin the transition of power”.
