WASHINGTON (AP) — A US intelligence assessment has concluded that Russia may use its lethal new intermediate-range ballistic missile Against Ukraine again in “coming days,” a US official said Wednesday.
The experimental Oreshnik missile is seen by US officials more as an attempt at intimidation than a game-changer on the battlefield in Ukraine, according to a US official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive information.
The official said Russia has only a handful of the missiles and that they carry a smaller warhead than other missiles that Russia has regularly launched in Ukraine.
