Ukrainian engineers have opened, disassembled and examined the hypersonic missile "Oreshnik", which hit the Dnieper River back on November 21, 2024. In it they managed to find parts dating back to the times of the Soviet Union: a gyroscope and a lamp.
A correspondent of CNN Nick Peyton Walsh took a look inside the missile.
The head of the military research laboratory of the Kiev Research Institute of Forensic Expertise Andrei Kulchitsky said of finding the USSR-made parts. "Here is the gyroscope from the Oreshnik. Even Yura Gagarin flew with such a thing," the expert emphasized in an interview.
The head of the research group strongly disagrees with Vladimir Putin's assurances that the "Oreshnik" is a super-modern weapon, a next-generation missile. Kulchitsky called the supersonic missile "Russian junk," emphasizing that the Kremlin dictator can "feed" Russians with any kind of disinformation, because "the people are listening."
"Junk and everything is Russian. We found lamps, Soviet lamps," the media interlocutor summarized. The missile has been investigated for a long time, and elements of the Bulava missile were found in it, as well as other parts produced 9-10 years ago.
