According to him, the characteristics of the missile are impressive. The range of destruction is up to 5.5 thousand km, hypersonic speed is over 12.3 thousand. km/h.
The missile carries a warhead consisting of several warheads weighing over 1.5 tons. In a nuclear version, the complex can deliver a charge with a capacity of up to 900 kT.
"Oreshnik" is possible only at the very initial stage of the flight. To the target, the warheads approach at hypersonic speed in a plasma cloud, possessing colossal kinetic energy. This is enough to destroy even the most protected underground objects with a conventional warhead.
