Russia mass produces Oreshinik missiles, Ukraine

According to Russian President Putin, mass production of Oreshnik missiles is underway, he stressed that enhancing combat capabilities is an urgent task.

On June 23, Russian President Vladimir Putin officially confirmed: "Mass production of the latest Oreshnik medium-range missile system is starting, after it has proven its ability to operate very well in conditions.

The introduction of the Oreshnik missile marks a turning point in the capabilities of Russia's ballistic missile force, which previously consisted of short-range Iskander-M systems and intercontinental-range systems such as the Sarmat. Photo: @ New Scientist.

While preparing to put the Oreshnik missile class into full-scale operation in the near future, Russia has also purchased North Korea's KN-23B and Pukkuksong-2 ballistic missiles, with ranges of 800km and 2,500km respectively, narrowing the gap between the 500km Iskander-M system and the new domestic medium-range missile class.

The Oreshnik missile is believed to be a derivative of the RS-26 Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile program, a significant addition to Russia's strategic arsenal. With an estimated range of 1,000 to 5,500 km, it can strike targets across Europe and parts of Asia. Photo: @ Reuters.

The Oreshnik missile's hypersonic capabilities exceed Mach 5, allowing it to travel at a speed of about 6,175 km/h, making it difficult for conventional air defense systems to intercept it. Photo: @ Business Standard.

Russian sources, including military analyst Igor Korotchenko speaking to TASS, claim that the Oreshnik missile can carry multiple MIRV (multiple independently targetable warheads) mounted on hypersonic re-entry vehicles, allowing it to hit multiple targets at once with high precision.

Typically, in the attack on Dnipro, a single Oreshnik missile equipped with 6 warheads, each with 6 sub-warheads, was deployed, demonstrating its ability to cause widespread damage. Photo: @ Financial Times.

Shortly after its launch and first combat use in Ukraine, Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrey Kelin stated that the system had had a significant impact on British policy towards Moscow, forcing London to take a more cautious approach to supporting deep Ukrainian strikes against Russian targets.

In addition to the Russian Armed Forces, it has been confirmed that the missile system will also be supplied to the Belarusian Armed Forces. The Oreshnik missiles with conventional warheads are expected to be placed under full control of Belarus, while the Oreshnik missiles with nuclear warheads are likely to be delivered at the final stage, after the terms of the nuclear sharing agreement between the two countries are signed.

On November 21, 2024, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine published an intelligence assessment of the production capacity of the Russian industry, estimating that the country will be able to produce up to 25 Oreshnik missiles per month, which equates to an output of 300 of these missiles per year. However, it remains uncertain whether the rapid introduction of this missile class into large-scale production will hinder the ability of the Russian defense industry to continue producing new intercontinental ballistic missiles.
