Russia's Response to US Medium-Range Missile Deployment in Europe: Dangerous Oreshnik Escalation

In this video, we dive deep into Russia's hypersonic Oreshnik missile test, which marks a direct response to the United States' deployment of mid-range rockets in Europe. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov sheds light on the escalating tensions between Russia and the US, accusing Washington of undermining global arms control agreements and forcing Russia to take drastic measures. The successful Oreshnik test demonstrates Russia's new military capabilities, including missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads and traveling at speeds 10 times the speed of sound. Lavrov’s statements and President Putin's remarks raise serious concerns about global security and the future of arms control negotiations. #OreshnikMissile #RussiaUSTensions #Lavrov #HypersonicMissile #NuclearArms #GlobalSecurity #USMilitaryExpansion #RussiaDefense #Putin #MilitaryEscalation #ArmsControl Also Read EXPLAINED | Why Is India Concerned About China's Mega Hydropower Dam On The Brahmaputra? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explained-why-is-india-concerned-about-china-s-mega-hydropower-dam-on-the-brahmaputra-4028001.html?ref=DMDesc LAC Situation 'Stable But Sensitive': India-China Patrolling Resumes In Demchok And Depsang :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/lac-situation-stable-but-sensitive-india-china-patrolling-resumes-in-demchok-and-depsang-011-4026665.html?ref=DMDesc Moscow Airports Temporarily Shut: Safety Measures Underway :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/moscow-airports-temporarily-shut-safety-measures-underway-4026553.html?ref=DMDesc
