Vladimir Putin’s ‘unstoppable’ new hypersonic missile struck Russian targets in a humiliating blunder, experts believe.
A £40million Oreshnik missile, which sends its six warheads into its marks at 10 times the speed of sound, crashed into targets in the Russian-occupied Donetsk region of Ukraine.
The missile, which researchers from the Institute for the Study of War say was launched at around 1am on May 24, is believed to have severely malfunctioned when it was fired from Russia’s Kapustin Yar test site.
