Budanov answered how many "Kedr" ballistic missiles Russia has

Russia could have made two prototypes of the "Kedr" ballistic missile, but they may have made "a little more". There is no talk of mass production yet.

This was reported by the head of the MID, Kyrylo Budanov, who answered a question from the correspondent of Novyny.LIVE, Halyna Ostapovets.

How many "Kedr" ballistic missiles does Russia have

Speaking at a forum dedicated to the anniversary of the Russian-Ukrainian war and on the eve of the Holodomor Remembrance Day, answering the question from the journalist of Novyny.LIVE Halyna Ostapovets, Budanov replied that the Russians should have made two prototypes, but they may have made "a little more". There is no talk of mass production yet.

According to him, the "Oreshnik" missile itself is a scientific name, but in reality the system is called "Kedr", it is a carrier of nuclear weapon.

"The fact that they used it in a non-nuclear version is, as they say, a warning from them that they have completely lost their minds," the head of the MID emphasized.

What was before

It should be recalled, that on November 21, the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced that the Russians had launched an intercontinental ballistic missile over Ukraine for the first time. The occupiers struck the Dnipro.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin announced that the Russian military used the "Oreshnik" hypersonic missile to strike the Dnipro. We wrote what is known about it.

At the same time, the MID said that the occupiers used a ballistic missile, probably from the "Kedr" missile complex. Six combat units were installed on it.
