China is sending Russia the equipment needed to build a hypersonic missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads, a weapon Vladimir Putin is using to threaten the West.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is stated<\/a> in the material of The Telegraph.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Russian forces fired an Oreshnik missile at a speed of 13,000 km\/h at the city of Lviv, which is just 64 kilometers from the Polish border.<\/p>\n

The hypersonic ballistic missile, which has only been used in combat twice, can deploy six warheads in flight that strike different targets.<\/p>\n

The publication reports that the warheads could be mounted on missiles capable of hitting Europe in less than 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

These tools are part of a $10.3 billion (\u00a37.7 billion) investment in technology and advanced equipment.<\/p>\n

China sent them to Russia to help Moscow create military equipment and expand weapons production.<\/p>\n

It is noted that Russia has stated that the Oreshnik missile cannot be shot down, while Ukrainian officials and analysts warn that it poses a threat to the West.<\/p>\n

The increase in production is partly due to a CNC (computer numerical control) machine \u2013 a Chinese-made carousel lathe that sharpens and cuts metal.<\/p>\n

This particular lathe was identified by Ukrainian defense intelligence at the state-owned Votkinsk Plant, Russia’s leading missile manufacturer, which is under sanctions by the UK, US, EU and Japan.<\/p>\n

The Votkinsk plant produces the Oreshnik missile, as well as Iskander-M ballistic missiles and Topol-M intercontinental ballistic missiles.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed that during the Oreshnik missile strike on Lviv, the Lviv State Aviation Repair Plant was targeted.<\/a><\/p>\n

As reported, today Russia has only 3-4 medium-range ballistic missiles of the Oreshnik type<\/a> . Moscow plans to launch these missiles into mass production as early as 2026.<\/p>\n
