Putin’s Revenge Threat: Sending Mach 10 Oreshnik Missiles to Venezuela

Russia may deploy Oreshnik or Kalibr missiles to Venezuela to counter Western pressure, marking a strategic move reminiscent of Cold War-era missile tensions.

  • On November 4, Russia warned it could send Oreshnik missile or Kalibr cruise missiles to Venezuela, according to Defense Express.
  • Alexei Zhuravlev, deputy chairman of Russia's State Duma Defense Committee, said transfers are a ` 'response to Western pressure'` as Nicolás Maduro, President of Venezuela, sought Russian help amid Caribbean strikes and Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, ratified a strategic partnership on October 27, 2025.
  • Transporting missiles would need An-124 Ruslan heavy-lift cargo aircraft and multiple refuelling stops, as the missile-plus-launcher combination is estimated at around 70 tons.
  • Analysts note the comparison to 1962 as Russia opened the door to sending hypersonics and warned Americans `may be in for some surprises`; the Kremlin says the Oreshnik can carry nuclear warheads and strike Europe within an hour.
  • On October 27, 2025, Vladimir Putin ratified a strategic partnership treaty with Venezuela, while the Oreshnik missile entered full service in October 2025, reaching Mach 10 and following prior hypersonic and Kalibr strikes in Ukraine.
