Putin says Russia is ready for a missile duel with the U.S

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday suggested a missile 'duel' with the United States that would show how Russia's new Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile could defeat any U.S. missile defence system.

Addressing Western scepticism about the Oreshnik, Putin suggested that both sides select a designated target to be protected by U.S. missiles.

"We're ready for such an experiment," Putin said.
Putin also said that Oreshnik was a modern weapon, though it is based on previous Russian design developments.

Regardless of which country won such a contest, the U.S. would lose and USSR would win, because if the USSR lost, they'd know they needed to go back to the drawing board and would do so immediately, and if they won, they'd attack whomever they wanted immediately because they would have had a look-see at US capability matched up with theirs.
