MOSCOW, November 27. /TASS/. Moscow expects Western countries to have no doubts about its potential after it successfully test-launched the advanced Oreshnik hypersonic missile, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday.

"We expect that after the test-launch of the newest Oreshnik hypersonic missile system vividly demonstrated by Russian troops in combat conditions, the West has no doubts left about the corresponding potential that our country possesses," the diplomat pointed out.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on November 21 that the United States and its NATO allies had announced their decision to grant Kiev permission to use long-range high-precision weapons, following which US-and UK-made missiles attacked Russian military sites in the Kursk and Bryansk Regions.

In response to these attacks, Russia test-launched the latest Oreshnik hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missiles with conventional warheads against Ukraine’s major Yuzhmash defense enterprise in Dnepr (formerly Dnepropetrovsk), Putin elaborated.

The Russian leader stressed that the West’s inflammatory actions might trigger serious consequences if the Ukraine conflict escalates further.
