Россия закроет небо над полигоном, запускающим ракеты «Орешник»

The airspace over "Kapustin Yar" will remain empty from 6:00 AM on May 12 to 4:00 AM on May 13

Russia will close the airspace over the "Kapustin Yar" test site, from which medium-range ballistic missiles (MRBM) "Oreshnik" are launched.

According to preliminary data, from 6:00 AM on May 12 to 4:00 AM on May 13 UTC, the Russian Federation will temporarily close the sky over a part of the Saratov and Volgograd regions, which covers the test site.

It is specified that the restrictions will be in effect from the ground up to an unlimited height, which is typical for ballistic missile tests.

Military expert Vladimir Gundarov clarified that by the time it reaches its orbital altitude, the "Oreshnik" accelerates to 11 Mach and from there heads towards the target in a hot plasma cocoon — an additional natural protection for such warheads.

Earlier www1.ru reported that the latest counter-battery radar based on the Tigr-M armored vehicle has been developed in Russia.
