Russia's Oreshnik Missile: A New Threat in Putin's Arsenal

Russia's new missile, dubbed 'Oreshnik', recently struck Dnipro, Ukraine, carrying six warheads. Despite President Putin's claims of it being an unstoppable hypersonic weapon, experts note it uses old technology from intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). The missile's design allows for multiple warheads to be independently targeted, but its use with conventional warheads is seen as costly and potentially confusing, as it could be mistaken for a nuclear attack. The strike is viewed as a symbolic message to the West amid escalating tensions.
