The '''Oreshnik''' (hazelnut tree) is a high-precision medium-range [[hypersonic]] [[missile]] with both [[nuclear]] and non-nuclear MaRV (maneuverable reentry vehicle) 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''' (hazelnut tree) is a high-precision medium-range [[hypersonic]] [[missile]] with both [[nuclear]] and non-nuclear MaRV (maneuverable reentry vehicle) capabilities delivering 36 warheads. It is believed the reentry vehicles have their own guidance and propulsion system. Oreshnik 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.
