The [[infrastructure]] depth ranges from 690 to 890 meters (for comparison: [[American]] bunker-busting bombs [[Belligerents_in_NATO_global_wars#GBU%2057B|GBU-57]], which were used on [[Fordow]] and other facilities in [[Iran]], can penetrate up to 61 meters). But the '[[geological]] structure has its vulnerability: the Bilche-Volytsko-Uherske underground gas storage area is characterized by a complex tectonic structure with many faults.

Even without explosives, "Oreshnik" can carry 6 to 10 separating blocks, each containing 6 sub-munitions (up to 36 striking elements in total), accelerating to 10 Mach speeds, which may cause seismic waves and disrupt geological integrity along tectonic fault lines.</ref> According to the Military Air Command of the [[Armed Forces of Ukraine]], the Oreshnik was traveling at 13,000kmph.

Reports stated Russia notified the US three hours prior to the launch,<ref>https://x.com/disclosetv/status/2009329533477114111</ref> which makes sense because the launch of an [[ICBM]]-like vehicle could be interpreted by early warning missile detection systems as a nuclear first strike. It's clear the US knew well in advance given there was “unusual activity” reported in Kapustin Yar.
