In its nuclear version, the "Oreshnik" medium-range ballistic hypersonic missile can deliver warheads with a capacity of 900 kilotons. This was reported by the state portal "Объясняем.рф".
The authors of the publication noted that in its nuclear version, "Oreshnik" can deliver warheads with a capacity of 900 kilotons, or "45 Hiroshimas." The Little Boy bomb dropped by the United States on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, was equivalent to 13-18 kilotons of TNT.
The material emphasizes that the "Oreshnik" missile cannot be shot down. This can only be done at an early stage of the flight, before it has reached its maximum speed. Therefore, the projectile is launched from the Kapustin Yar test site, from deep within the country. The range of destruction of the "Oreshnik" is 5500 km.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the US acknowledged the helplessness of the THAAD and Aegis systems against Russian hypersonic missiles.
