Russia’s Oreshnik seen as psychological weapon, not battlefield change-maker, expert says

An aviation expert argues that Russia’s Oreshnik missile used to strike Lviv Oblast was likely assembled from older Soviet components and functions as a political, psychological intimidation tool rather than a decisive military asset; Moscow reportedly informed the US ahead of the launch, signaling a message to Europe, while speed claims of 13,000 km/h are disputed. Ukraine lacks intercept capability, but the strike is not expected to alter the frontline balance.

Russia has claimed to use hypersonic missiles in Ukraine, though experts debate their true capabilities. The development and deployment of hypersonic weapons continue to influence global military dynamics and security concerns.
