The emergence of the Oreshnik missile system in Russia effectively eliminates the need to use nuclear weapons.
Russian President Vladimir Putin stated this on December 10 at the annual meeting of the Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights.
The statement by the head of the Russian state is quoted by TASS .
What Putin said about Oreshnik and nuclear weapons
Speaking about adjusting the nuclear doctrine, the head of the Russian state stated that Russia now needs to improve not it, but Oreshnik.
A sufficient number of these modern systems simply puts the need for the use of nuclear weapons on the brink of virtually no need, Putin said.
He noted that Russia is behaving carefully and even with restraint in all areas.
But where necessary, we show the necessary will at the state level and at the citizen level, ” added the Russian president.
