Putin announces plans to launch mass production of the Oreshnik missile. The Center for Political Studies denied the fake about Russia's ability to produce 25 such missiles per month, and the General Staff confirmed the existence of only a few experimental models.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin said on Monday, December 16, that the serial production of new Oreshnik missiles will begin in the near future. UNN reports this with reference to the broadcast of the dictator's speech. 

Putin noted that in November, the Russian army used the “oreshnik” in response to strikes on the country's territory by Western weapons. 

In the near future, it is necessary to establish mass production of such complexes (“oreshnik” - ed.) to protect the security of Russia and our allies , and this will certainly be done

- Putin said.

The Center for Countering Disinformation refuted the fake about Russia's ability to produce 25 Oreshnik missiles per month, which was spread in the media. According to Andriy Kovalenko, head of the National Security and Defense Council's Center for Countering Disinformation, the information about the production of this intercontinental ballistic missile is a deliberate fake. 

Earlier, the General Staff stated that Russia has units of experimental missiles “Oreshnik” in its arsenal, now Ukraine is negotiating with the United States to modernize existing Patriot systems or supply other air defense systems to Ukraine that are capable of eliminating these ballistic missiles in the sky over Ukraine.
