British Intelligence Exposes Russian Lies About Oreshnik Missile

It is not new at all.

The Russian ballistic missile Oreshnik is a variant of the Rubezh RS-26 ballistic missile, which was first tested in 2011, the military intelligence of the UK reports.

“Russia announced its withdrawal from the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty in February 2019, which banned the development and production of IRBMs. However, the development of Oreshnik almost certainly occurred before this. The system is highly likely a variant of the Rubezh RS-26 ballistic missile, which was first tested in 2011,” the department says in a press-release published on X social network.

The intelligence clarifies that Oreshnik is classified as having a maximum range of between 3,000-5,500km. In this instance, the missile only travelled just over 800 kilometers to its target when hitting Dnipro. The missile payload was observed as six groups of six warheads, for a total of 36 submunitions.

“The use of this experimental system against Ukraine was almost certainly intended as strategic messaging following the use by Ukraine of Western missiles into Russia. Russia highly likely only has a handful of Oreshnik missiles, which are yet to enter serial

production,” the British Intelligence underlines.
