Russia Deploys First Mass-Produced Oreshnik Hypersonic Missile System | APT

Russia has officially deployed its first mass-produced Oreshnik hypersonic missile system, President Vladimir Putin announced during a military briefing on the Ukraine conflict. The advanced weapon, tested in combat last November with a strike on a Ukrainian military facility, is believed to be nuclear-capable. However, Putin has previously stated that even its conventional version is capable of destruction similar to that of a low-yield nuclear blast. The Oreshnik system is part of Moscow’s push to modernize its arsenal with next-generation strategic weapons, as the war in Ukraine grinds on. The announcement comes amid growing international concern about escalation and the role of high-speed missile systems in modern warfare.
