Oreshnik Hypersonic Missiles: The war between Russia and Ukraine, which has been ongoing since 2022, shows no signs of stopping. Foreign intervention and peace proposals have been put forward to end the conflict, but fierce attacks continue from both sides. Meanwhile, it is being claimed that Russia has used the deadly Oreshnik hypersonic missile to attack Ukraine.
Russia rarely uses this missile because it is capable of delivering a nuclear strike up to 5500 km. The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that precise attacks were carried out on Ukrainian cities from both land and sea. The use of this missile has intensified the war, leading to fears that Ukraine could now face complete devastation.
Oreshnik Hypersonic Missiles
Russia has launched a massive attack on Ukraine, stating that it was a response to an attack near President Putin’s residence. Ukraine confirmed the attack, reporting that Russia used 242 drones and 36 deadly missiles, targeting underground natural gas storage facilities, energy infrastructure, and drone manufacturing sites. Four people are reported to have been killed and 22 injured in the attack.
Russia-Ukraine War
Ukraine is currently experiencing a severe cold snap, and Russia is reportedly trying to exploit this situation. It is believed that Russian forces have captured the city of Lviv in Ukraine, and President Zelenskyy has appealed to the people to move to safer locations. Now, in response to the attempted attack near President Putin’s residence, Russia has unleashed its most powerful weapons, claiming to have used drone attacks and the deadly Oreshnik missile, targeting a Ukrainian city near the Polish border.
Oreshnik Missile Range
Russia’s Orionic missile is one of the deadliest missiles, and its first test was reportedly conducted in 2024 with an attack on Ukraine. This missile travels at more than 10 times the speed of sound, making it virtually impossible to intercept. With a range of 5,000 kilometres, it can reach targets across all of Europe and is also capable of carrying nuclear warheads. This devastating missile could wreak havoc on any city.
