Oreshnik (missile)

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 has been described as highly difficult to intercept, though modern ballistic missile interceptors are designed to counter this type of system. Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh has identified the Oreshnik as a variant of the RS-26 Rubezh IRBM.
