  5.  @steveb890  The Oryzhnik, also known as the Oreshnik, is a new Russian intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) recently used in Ukraine. It is notable for its hypersonic capabilities and maneuverable warheads, which complicate interception efforts. Key features include: 1. Range and Speed: The Oryzhnik has a range of 1,800–3,400 miles and reaches speeds of Mach 11 during flight. It can deliver precision strikes from significant distances, though its effectiveness depends on its accuracy. 2. Payload: Equipped with multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs), it can carry up to 36 hypersonic submunitions. These warheads have the ability to maneuver in flight, enhancing their survivability against air defenses. 3. Deployment and Purpose: It was likely developed after the collapse of the INF Treaty in 2019, which had previously restricted such weapons. Analysts believe it is an experimental system used for strategic messaging, possibly in response to Ukraine's use of Western-provided long-range munitions. 4. Intercept Challenges: While Russia claims the missile is "unstoppable," experts argue that advanced defense systems like THAAD or Aegis could intercept it under specific conditions. The missile's actual combat reliability and effectiveness against modern air defense systems remain unproven. Despite its advanced design, the Oryzhnik is still in limited deployment and may not yet be fully operational, with only a small number available.
