Oreshnik Missile Deployment, Hypersonic Technology and MIRV Payloads
Russia’s deployment of the Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile in Dnipro is analyzed. The missile features Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicles (MIRVs), allowing it to release several warheads at different speeds and directions. While some U.S. officials call it "experimental," the deployment is viewed as a significant message to the West regarding Russia's ability to bypass advanced air defenses.
