Russian President Vladimir Putin, during his annual Direct Line call-in show, claimed that the air defense systems currently deployed in Europe are incapable of intercepting missiles from Russia’s “Oreshnik” system, describing the odds of success as “absolutely zero.”
In response to Western experts who have cast doubt on the capabilities of the Oreshnik system, Putin proposed what he called a “21st-century high-tech duel.”
“If Western experts believe [the Oreshnik can be intercepted], let them propose a technological experiment to us and those funding them in the West, particularly in the United States. Let them select a target, say in Kyiv, concentrate all their air and missile defense systems there, and we’ll strike it with the Oreshnik. Then we’ll see what happens. We’re ready for such an experiment. Is the other side ready? […] It would be interesting for us. […] Let’s conduct this experiment, this technological duel, and see the results. I think it would be useful for both us and the Americans.”
