Putin to deploy hypersonic ‘wonder weapon’ to Belarus
By: Ed Holt and Will Stewart for the UK Daily Mail
Vladimir Putin is set to deploy Oreshnik hypersonic missiles to Belarus ‘any day now’ according to Belarusian dictator, and Kremlin stooge, Alexander Lukashenko.
The so-called ‘wonder weapon’ reaches up to 4,000C and could reportedly reach Britain in nine minutes. Russia‘s ally Belarus will be be supplied with an active Oreshnik system ahead of Putin’s own forces. The Eastern European nation is geographically closer to Europe and Britain than most of Russia and the weapons will be deployed in in eastern Belarus just 1,345 miles from London. While Oreshnik is nuclear-capable, Putin has threatened that it is almost as destructive with a non-nuclear warhead.
Targets would be incinerated, he said, with warheads unleashing a temperature of 4,000C, almost as hot as the surface of the sun. The Kremlin has previously claimed the missile is impossible to intercept. On the day he stood in a rigged election to extend his 30-year rule of Belarus Lukashenko 70, boasted about being supplied with Oreshnik by ‘my elder brother’ Putin, 72. However, Lukashenko has also revealed there is a supply problem with Oreshnik which has only been used once last year against Ukraine in Dnipro city, without a live warhead.
