Hypersonic "Oreshnik" capable of penetrating 30 meters deep

Ракета может поражать даже подземные объекты

The warheads of the Russian Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) are capable of hitting targets at a depth of tens of meters. Military expert Viktor Litovkin named the advantages of the Russian complex.

According to him, a range of up to 5.5 thousand kilometers allows the "Oreshnik" to control a very large territory.

The main advantage of the complex is its hypersonic speed and the ability to hit targets at a depth of up to 30 meters, including protected command posts.

As a reminder, the Oreshnik missile received a multiple independently targetable warhead with individual guidance units that attack the target at a speed of up to 10 Mach numbers. This makes the Russian MRBM a difficult target to intercept.

Prior to this, a video showed for the first time combat vehicles from the "Oreshnik" complex. We are talking about four-axle military equipment on the MZKT-7930 chassis. These are likely mobile command posts or transport-loading vehicles.

The Oreshnik launcher itself only appeared in public once - as a model in the office of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
