==Deployment==
==Combat testing and damage assessment==
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.

Some sources suggest there were six mini volcanoes with glowing material inside. If there were six areas described as "mini volcanoes" but 36 warhead strikes, the logical question is how could 36 hits cause only six mini volcanos? The explanation may be that six small warheads delivered from one carrier hit the designated area in a pattern that provided a “mutual destruction engagement zone,” meaning that they hit relatively close to each other in a pattern so that the penetration and the shock waves interreacted with each other, thus multiplying the effect and affecting a much wider area.

If the missile bus carried just six large warheads without submunitions, they may be dispersed some distance from each other so that the penetration into the ground might be deeper, but the overall width of the targeted area may be smaller compared to an equivalent dispersion of smaller submunitions.
