The power from the impact of the warheads of the "Oreshnik" medium-range ballistic missile (SRBM) can be compared to a small earthquake, according to military expert Yuri Knutov.
According to him, even ordinary blanks without a warhead are capable of breaking through all fortifications and causing colossal destruction underground, which is comparable to a small earthquake.
Military expert Sergei Lebedev added that the "Oreshnik", equipped with a high-explosive warhead, is capable of easily breaking through even a tectonic plate.
The warheads of the "Oreshnik" SRBM complex travel to the target along a flat trajectory with altitudes within 150 km. As a result, they reach speeds of 13,475 km/h, which corresponds to 12M.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the first serial "Oreshnik" complex has already entered the troops. The new missiles cannot be shot down by existing air defense systems.
