Russian President Vladimir Putin has promised more test launches of medium-range missiles like the one launched at Ukraine on November 21.
He also says that no other country has missiles like the one Russia launched on November 21, while Putin met with Russian defense leaders.
Putin has announced that the missile type is called Oreshnik and that it travels 10 times faster than the speed of sound. It is impossible to stop it if it is launched.
Putin said that the development of the missile defense system is important now that Russia is facing new threats.
The missile is able to hit targets at a distance of 5,000 kilometers
He then announced that Russia would now begin mass production of the missiles, which can carry nuclear warheads.
It is believed that the missiles could hit targets at a distance of up to 5,000 kilometers, which would put almost all of Europe within range, but Putin has warned Western countries against attacks if they supply Ukraine with weapons.
