Russian hypersonic missile strike in Ukraine is warning to ‘reckless’ West, Kremlin says

"The Kremlin on Friday said its use of a new hypersonic missile on Ukraine was a direct warning to the “reckless” West, after the US and UK approved Kyiv’s launching of their long-range ballistics on Russia.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed Thursday’s use of the Oreshnik — Russian for “hazelnut tree” — ballistic missile against a Ukrainian military facility during a new conference, saying it was a direct response to the two attacks Kyiv launched earlier this week using US and British-made missiles in Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin boasted this week that the new Russian missile travels at 10 times the speed of sound — so fast that it cannot be intercepted — while Kremlin sources claim its range is up to 3,100 miles, or far enough to hit the West Coast in the US and also almost anywhere in Europe.
Kyiv kicked off the latest round of saber-rattling after finally being given the greenlight this week to use the American Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS), HIMARS and British Storm Shadow weapons to directly strike inside Russia, after pleading for approval for months.
Russia’s defense ministry also hailed its Thursday strike in Ukraine as the first successful use of its new hypersonic ballistic missile in combat." NYP
