Quote: “I say it again. The missile is experimental. We know for certain that as of October, they should have manufactured two prototypes, possibly a few more, but believe me, this is a prototype, but not yet a mass production, thank God.”
Details: Budanov stated that Oreshnik (as Putin termed the missile that targeted Dnipro) is the name of the research project, “it’s just a cypher.”
“The system itself is known as Kedr. This is an experimental system. Let’s just call it a medium-range ballistic missile. A nuclear weapons carrier. The fact that they deployed a non-nuclear version is, as they say, a warning from them that they have not gone completely insane,” Budanov stated.
