Currently, there is no countermeasure against the 'Oreshnik' missile system. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin. As reported by РИА Новости, the Russian leader held a meeting on Friday evening with the leadership of the Ministry of Defense and representatives from the defense industry.

“At present, there is no countermeasure in the world against such a missile, nor any means to intercept it. And once again, I emphasize that we will continue testing this advanced system.
