After Biden Approved “Long Range” Missiles to Ukraine to Launch into Russia, Russia Redefines “Long Range” with New “Undetectable” Missile

Early last week, with President Joe Biden's approval, Ukraine launched long-range ballistic missiles into Russian territory for the first time since the Ukraine war started. They were Army Tactical Missile System (Atacms) missiles, reportedly one of the U.S. military's most advanced ballistic missiles, capable of striking targets up to 190 miles (300km) away. The missile attacks inside Russia reportedly struck an ammunition depot in Karachev, with some of those missiles reportedly being intercepted by Russia. Then on Thursday last week, Russia launched a brand new ballistic missile that they claim they built from scratch in just 5 years, the Oreshnik missile, into the Ukrainian city of Dnipro and reportedly hitting an ammunition depot. Russia claims that this missile, used for the first time, can hit targets 5000 km away, and travels at MACH 10, or ten times the speed of sound. As I researched Western reactions to this new Russian missile, Oreshnik, in preparation for writing this article, I found that the corporate media in the U.S. is basically downplaying the launch of this new Russian missile. Zelensky has reportedly stated that there are air defense systems that can intercept these missiles, while I have seen other reports state that this is not new Russian technology at all, but just upgrades to existing technology. In the "alternative media", of course, there are a lot of doomsday predictions being made about what Russia might do with these new missiles. But one angle of this news that I have not seen anyone address so far, is how does this affect the current war in the Middle East between Israel and Iran and their proxy states? We know that Russia has used Iranian drones in their war against Ukraine, and it was just reported that Yemen mercenaries are also fighting for Russia against Ukraine. Has Russia sold these missiles, or its technology, to others like Iran? If so, this is a huge game changer.
