A map depicting the range of Russia's newly unveiled hypersonic missile suggests the weapon could strike U.S. military assets in Europe within minutes.
"Russia continues its efforts to intimidate Europe with Oreshnik," Anton Gerashchenko, a former adviser to the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs, posted to X, formerly Twitter, on Monday.
Gerashchenko posted a map, reportedly being shared across Telegram by Russian "propaganda" channels, which showed the approach time of the nuclear-capable Oreshnik—which translates to "hazel tree"—missile if launched from Belarus.
