MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia is ready for a technological duel between the new Russian missile system Oreshnik and Western air defense systems, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday.
"We are ready right now, right here today," Putin told Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin, referring to the idea of holding a "duel" with the use of the Oreshnik systems voiced during the annual "Direct Line" question-and-answer session and end-of-year press conference.
The technological duel can be held not only in Kiev but also elsewhere, the Russian president said, adding that Kiev has a fairly serious air defense system organized by Western countries.
