The new Russian medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) "Oreshnik" is not just a new weapon, but a system that changes the balance of power. This was stated by Andrey Bogodel, Deputy Head of the Faculty of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Belarus.
According to him, the missile's characteristics 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. The warheads approach the target at hypersonic speed in a plasma cloud, possessing colossal kinetic energy. This is enough to destroy even the most protected underground facilities with a conventional warhead.
The complex has successfully passed tests in combat conditions and has been put into mass production. By the end of 2025, it is planned to permanently deploy it in the eastern part of Belarus.
Currently, launch sites and deployment locations, routes of advance are being prepared in the republic, attention is paid to issues of protection, camouflage and cover from air strikes, including drones.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Russia is building the world's largest electronic intelligence complex near Kaliningrad.
