Putin casually announced at a press conference today: The first batch of Oleshnik missiles have been successfully mass-produced in Russia and have already been deployed to combat units, "We produced the first series of the 'Oleshnik' complex, and the first missile has joined the unit."
Oleshnik is currently not effectively interceptable by any air defense system in the world. The U.S. most advanced Patriot missile travels at 5 Mach, which is at the kindergarten level compared to the 10 Mach speed of Oleshnik.
The effective strike range of Oleshnik is 5,000 kilometers, and it can reach the capital of any European country within 20 minutes. More terrifyingly, this complex has 6 missile groups, each with 6 sub-munitions, and each sub-munition can independently find and strike targets. This means that one launch achieves the operational effect of 36 modern missiles.
In December 2024, Russia announced its intention to launch mysterious flying objects toward Ukraine. At that time, the West estimated it was an Oleshnik, and embassies of various countries quickly evacuated, urging citizens in Ukraine to take shelter in bunkers. However, Russia only launched an Oleshnik body without a warhead, but it still scared the entire Western world into disarray.
After the U.S. president stated on August 8th that he would impose ultimate sanctions on Russia, Putin proactively announced that the Oleshnik had been deployed to combat units, sending a clear warning message. It also equates to openly telling the White House that it does not fear escalation of confrontation and is indifferent to any threats from the United States.
