Oreshnik, is a Russian intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) characterized by its reported speed exceeding Mach 10, according to the Ukrainian military. The missile is equipped with six warheads, each reportedly containing submunitions, and is described as highly difficult to intercept. Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh has identified the Oreshnik as a variant of the RS-26 Rubezh quasi-ballistic missile. A defense expert at the University of Oslo suggested that it likely incorporates no more than 10% new components.
