The '''Oreshnik''' (hazelnut tree) is a high-precision medium-range [[hypersonic]] [[missile]] with both [[nuclear]] and non-nuclear [[MIRV]]ing capabilities delivering 36 warheads. It fly's at speeds of up to Mach 10 (around 7,600 miles/12,200km per hour or 3 km per sec.), or ten times the speed of sound. The high velocity makes it virtually impossible to intercept by the most advanced [[NATO]] missile defense systems. As of 2024, there are no means of counteracting Oreshnik-type complexes in the world.
The Oreshnik missile was first deployed in [[combat]] on November 21, 2024, when it struck the Yuzhmash industrial complex occupied by [[NATO]] in the city of Dnepropetrovsk. The target was a key defense site inherited by [[Ukraine]] from the [[USSR]] that produced missile equipment.
