[Regnum] The Russian medium-range hypersonic missile system Oreshnik has proven itself well in combat conditions. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin on June 23 at a meeting with the best graduates of military universities in the Kremlin.

“Serial production of the latest medium-range missile system ‘Oreshnik’ is underway, which has proven itself very well in combat conditions,” the head of state specified.

Putin added that the Navy will include new ships and submarines equipped with the latest generation of high-precision weapons.

In addition, according to the president, Russia pays special attention to its strategic nuclear forces.

“Thus, modern Yars systems will be delivered to the strategic missile forces, and the aviation component of the strategic nuclear forces will be replenished with modernized Tu-160M ​​missile carriers this year,” the Russian leader added.

On November 21, 2024, the Russian military used the Oreshnik missile system for the first time, striking the Yuzhmash military plant in Dnepropetrovsk. The attack was carried out in response to the Ukrainian army's use of NATO ATACMS systems. The Oreshnik has no analogues.

The missiles can hit highly protected targets and objects located at great depth. Dozens of self-separating warheads of the missile develop a speed of about 3 km/s, and the temperature of the striking elements reaches 4 thousand degrees.
