      TL;DR:

      “Putin said he had not spoken to Trump for four years but was ready for a meeting. “You would very much like Russia to be in a weakened position, but I hold a different point of view,” he said.

      “If I ever meet with the newly-elected president, Mr. Trump, I am sure we’ll have something to talk about,” Putin said.

      Discussing the ongoing war in Ukraine, Putin claimed that the Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile recently used to strike the Ukrainian city of Dnipro cannot be intercepted by Western air defense systems.

      Western technology, he said, “stands no chance” against the missile.

      Putin even suggested arranging “an experiment or a duel” in which Russia would select a target for an Oreshnik strike in Kyiv and Ukraine would set up its Western-supplied air defenses to intercept the missile.

      “It will be interesting for us,” Putin said.”

      putler’s last statement regarding using ukraine as a test site shows what he thinks of ukrainian people – less than animals. Nothing but a mere testing site for military weapons. And yet you still have people in the west that somehow support him.

      This “my russian weapons are bigger than yours and everyone else’s” is also kinda ironic, considering russia’s flag ship ICBM nuclear weapon “SS SATAN” was built in Ukraine by a ukranian company still based in Dnipro.

      I can’t wait for the day ukraine rebuild’s their military prowess, up to including nuclear weapons if they don’t get NATO membership. They’re called the fist of the USSR for a reason

    3. Gobbedyret on

      Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it generally the case that hypersonic ballistic missiles cannot be shot down cost-effectively? And it’s been like that since ICMBs got invented.

      So is this really a new thing?

    4. DisgustingSandwich on

      Well Russia seems to not be able to defend versus anything at all. Can’t tell if they got shit tech or utterly incompetent army

    5. lehmx on

      And his shitty air defenses systems can’t even stop storm shadow missiles let alone ICBMs like Trident or M51 lol. What’s the point of making statements like these, nuclear weapons aren’t meant to be used.

      I swear Russians think they can start a nuclear war and keep drinking their vodka in Moscow or Saint Petersburg in peace. No guys, you will be obliterated as well.

      who case?

      If pople wanna strike Moscow, Kremlin and Putin they just ride a electric scooter ……..

      No russian air defence will intercept that

    8. cronenthal on

      Apparently Russian air defenses have ‘no chance’ against converted small prop planes, so there’s that.

    9. Chemical_Top_6514 on

      Is this why the missile shield in romania was such as major diplomatic issue, because it’s completely useless? Interesting.

    11. piskle_kvicaly on

      Putin’s boasting 2021: “Second army in the world! We can march to Berlin if we want!”

      Putin’s boasting 2024: “If we shoot one of our best missiles on Kyiv, we expect nobody will be able to down it.”

      What a shift over three years.

      I wonder what they boast about in 2025, if we in Europe hopefully compensate for the lack of aid from the US.

      Dear Putin

      Yes, we know that you have [multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_independently_targetable_reentry_vehicle) missiles. Yes we know that the warheads are difficult (perhaps practically impossible) to intercept.

      Thank you for your offer to attack Kiev with one of your [Oreshnik](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oreshnik_(missile)). Of course, we would not intercept the missile at the target but would try to intercept it at the launch site or at least before the last missile stage.

      But what am I telling you? You already know all this. 🙂

      Conversely, can I ask you to give us a target location in Moscow so that we can also send one of our MIRVs there and let you teach us and prove to us that you can do what we can’t? Namely, intercept the warheads. May we?

    14. szymon0296 on

      Yeah, right, and his “special operation” in Ukraine has lasted for almost 3 years now, instead of 3 days.

    15. Nonsense_Producer on

      Ah, he’s talking about one of those Russian missiles where 80-90% of navigation and control systems are made of Western components, because Russia cannot manufacture anything usable?

    16. _-Burninat0r-_ on

      Can’t shoot down missiles that explode in their launch tubes

      They got us, guys. Air defence obsolete.

    17. Possible_Lemon_9527 on

      Considering the entire russian military budget (including army, navy, air defense, nukes..) is of similar size to the american nuclear budget alone we must ask ourselves how much of their (on paper) impressive number of nukes even work and are ready anymore. Seems like a paper tiger.

      Most likely they have ten or so functioning nukes in good condition in case of needing demonstrations of power to intimidate the west, but not really have first- or even second-strike-capacity anymore ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    18. dr_tardyhands on

      “This week on Putin threatens the west: ballistic missiles and impotent rage! You won’t wanna miss it..!”

    19. Beyllionaire on

      So he just admitted that Russian air defenses have no chance against NATO ballistic missiles.

    20. koensch57 on

      Ok, let’s challenge putty to a contest…. Ruzzia fires a ICBM on moskou and Ukraine will fire a patriot barrage to intercept it.

    21. Droom1995 on

      To remind everyone once again: you do not shoot down the arrow, you kill the archer. Ukraine needs long-range strokes on Russian airfields, not just defences

    23. TheAmazingBreadfruit on

      What the hell is wrong with this guy? Did his momma not love him? Why is he so obsessed with war and murdering innocent people?

    26. Expensive-Twist8865 on

      The flip flopping on this sub.

      One second Russia is going to invade all of Europe, and we need to boost defense spending or be conquered.

      The next they’re incapable of even launching a rocket, or shooting down drones, they’re totally incompetent and weak.

      Make up your mind.

    27. Hikashuri on

      That’s cute… granted their most advanced missiles have been taken down with relative ease with outdated defense systems of the West (and that’s if they even manage to get that far, majority of the launched Russian rockets explode before they even reach their target).

      The only success they’ve had is with drones, and it’s only a matter of time until it’s completely useless aswell.

    28. onuldo on

      Russia wanted to take Kiev in 3 days with their special forces but they lost every battle against the Ukrainian army. The battle of Hostomel airport was a disaster for the Russians, they couldn’t defeat normal Ukrainian troops. The Russian military is an embarrassing state and their losses in Ukraine are huge.

    31. xyrus02 on

      Vladdy, apparently your capitals air defense stands no chance against your much smaller neighbors drones bought from the retail market and equipped with a mix of chinacrackers and plastic explosives.

    32. BoddAH86 on

      Russia’s defenses have no chance against NATO’s ballistic missiles either. Seems like Vladimir finally discovered Mutual assured destruction 75 years after the Cold War started.

    33. SCUDDEESCOPE on

      The west could steamroll that piece of shit country and Putin could do nothing about it.

    34. Live_Menu_7404 on

      And Russian air defenses have ‚no chance‘ against Western air power. What’s his message supposed to be?
      Also the i.e. ESSI should shift that balance in the West’s favor in the coming years.

    36. Dark_Bauer on

      Germanys defence minister „Drachenlord“ once said: „Traut euch, kommt zu mir, legt euch mit mir an!“

    37. EnvironmentalBear115 on

      Hold on. Is Putin saying that Russkis have always been an existential threat to the US?
      It would be a shame if we took his threats seriously. It didn’t work out well for Saddam or Cuba. 

    39. Unhappy_Surround_982 on

      Wair til he hears how effective his own air defence against Western ballistic missiles. Pathetic little rat.

    40. hotDamQc on

      He seems to think if he attacks NATO, there would be no war on Russian soil

    43. TheActualUrtie on

      He also said he wasn’t going to invade Ukraine, so when are we going to stop listening to this wrinkled potato? We might as well assume anything coming out if his mouth is automatically a lie at this point.

    44. opinionate_rooster on

      Do Russian air defenses? I mean, it’d be a damn shame if Ukraine developed its own ballistic missiles that entirely ignore the Russian AA…

      Damn shame.

    45. Ricola63 on

      So. Nothing has changed. Except some people in the west may die five minutes earlier while the Russians would die a few minutes later. Pure Kremlin propaganda!!

    46. Snoo_88515 on

      Ah good old primary school days:
      My dad can beat up your dad.
      Oh yeah? My dad drives nails with his forehead.
      Whatever, my dad’s so tough he opens pickle jars without asking Mom!

    47. Much_Horse_5685 on

      IIRC Putin accidentally let it slip that Oreshnik is not yet in production.
