Three launchers with medium-range ballistic missiles (SRBM) Oreshnik are currently on combat duty with the Strategic Missile Forces (RVSN) of Russia. This was stated by military analyst, retired Colonel Aslan Nakhushev.
According to him, the weapon is "already cocked." This refers specifically to the launchers; the number of actual missiles in service with Russia is unknown. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has not officially reported the number of launchers or missiles for it.
Oreshnik SRBM
The Oreshnik warheads fly to the target along a flat trajectory with altitudes within 150 km. As a result, they accelerate to 13,475 km/h, which corresponds to 12M.
When descending below 80 km and separating the warhead, the Oreshnik warheads, even when the speed decreases to 10M due to aerodynamic drag, become unreachable for SM-3 and Patriot PAC-3 anti-missiles with maximum target engagement speeds of about 7.5M.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the flagship of the Russian Navy, the Admiral Kuznetsov cruiser, may be scrapped.
