Putin's Missile Moves: NATO's Strategic Response
TL;DR Summary
Russia's Oreshnik missile, touted by President Putin as a powerful weapon, uses kinetic energy submunitions similar to the 'rods from god' concept. However, its actual impact is minimal, akin to a firework display rather than a nuclear strike. The missile's inaccuracy and limited damage potential make it less threatening than claimed, with experts suggesting it serves more as a tool for intimidation rather than a practical military asset.
