The imitation warheads of the "Oreshnik" medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) could have been made from tungsten and other refractory materials. Military expert Yuri Knutov spoke about this.
According to him, materials are required that can withstand colossal heating when entering the dense layers of the atmosphere.
As a rule, tungsten or other refractory materials are used – when passing through the atmosphere, the block heats up and is covered with plasma; not every metal can withstand this.
Knutov added that the published materials on the consequences of using "Oreshnik" directly indicate the highest accuracy of the entire system.
These could be buried command posts and headquarters, key critical infrastructure facilities.
Chinese analysts from the Sohu portal explained that the invulnerability of "Oreshnik" to air defense and electronic warfare systems is due to the use of Soviet lamps, which simply do not perceive interference.
