Russia Equips Brigade with New Oreshnik Missiles
Russia has created a new military group with special hypersonic missiles called Oreshnik.
These missiles are very fast and can't be stopped, according to President Putin.
They were used for the first time in November 2024.
The missiles are so powerful that they can cause as much damage as a nuclear weapon, even without a nuclear warhead.
