Moscow, August 1 (Xinhua) — The first serial medium-range missile system "Oreshnik" has been produced in Russia, the missile has been delivered to the troops. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin, answering journalists' questions.
"We have produced the first serial complex "Oreshnik", the first serial missile, and it has entered service with the troops. Now the series is working," said V. Putin.
On November 22, 2024, at a meeting of the Russian President with the leadership of the Ministry of Defense and missile developers, some characteristics of this missile system were revealed. "Oreshnik" is a mobile ground complex. This is a high-precision weapon. Medium-range missiles hit targets at a distance of 1 thousand to 5.5 thousand km. When launched, they go into near space and develop a speed of several kilometers per second, TASS reported.
“The missiles attack targets at a speed of 10 Machs – that’s 2.5-3 km per second, the modern air defense systems in the world and the missile defense systems being created by the Americans in Europe do not intercept such missiles, this is out of the question,” V. Putin said at the time.
The Russian President noted that several similar systems are being developed at once, so “a whole line of medium- and shorter-range complexes is being formed.” –0–
