It is only the second time in history that an intermediate range nuclear-capable strategic missile has been used in combat (the first was the initial use of Oreshnik back on November 21, 2024.)

Russia has indicated that it is fielding additional Oreshnik-equipped brigades. Kapustin Yar is a location ...
