00:00Russia fired the Oreshnik hypersonic missile at Kyiv this weekend.
00:03And there is nothing, yet, that any U.S. or NATO air defense system can do to stop it.
00:10The Oreshnik is a medium-range ballistic missile that travels at hypersonic speed.
00:15Vladimir Putin has described it as moving like a meteorite, and that characterization is accurate.
00:21Current NATO air defense systems, including the Patriot, Germany's Iris T, and France's Samp-Shirti,
00:29are designed for slower-moving ballistic threats.
00:32Against the Oreshnik, they have no effective intercept capability.
00:36The missile is also nuclear-capable, and it is specifically engineered to destroy hardened underground bunkers,
00:43the kind that house government leadership and military command centers.
00:47Russia has now used the Oreshnik three times in this war.
00:51Each use is a live demonstration of a capability gap in Western defense.
00:55The Pentagon is under growing pressure to accelerate next-generation intercept technology.
01:02But until that system exists, the Oreshnik represents an unstoppable strike capability.
01:08America's defense establishment is taking that seriously tonight.
01:11America's defense security will never pores the Ureshnik.
01:11America's defense principle is бо coordinated, as of the international defense,
01:11and as of the United States住 inside the Army and is accurate,
01:12we hope you learn the energy-like process that rage in the US.
