Russia has introduced a new Hypersonic
intermediate range ballistic missile
called oresnik which has broken the
record for the fastest missile in the
world it is the fastest missile ever
developed achieving an incredible speed
of Mac 10 making it extremely difficult
to intercept previously the title of the
fastest missile belonged to the 3 M22
Zircon also developed by Russia with a
top speed of approximately Max 9
surprisingly the Russian president
announced the development of the oresnik
after its reported combat use in
Ukraine what do we know so far about the
specifications of this new missile and
what does its development indicate
regarding its use in the ongoing
conflict in

Ukraine the oresnik missile is part of
Russia's broader strategy to enhance its
penetration and striking capabilities
against heavily fortified enemy
territories the oresnik is equipped with
multiple independently targetable
re-entry Vehicles enabling it to strike
multiple targets
simultaneously it is capable of carrying
both conventional and nuclear warheads
adding to its versatility on the
battlefield the missile is reportedly
capable of reaching a speed of Mark 10
12 ,300
kmph 3.40
km/s making it highly challenging for
any existing missile defense systems to
intercept classified as an intermediate
range missile It is believed to have an
operational range of approximately
5,500 km with its Hypersonic speed the
oresnik can deliver precise strikes on
multiple targets thousands of kilometers
away in under half an hour effectively
bypassing all known Global defense
systems at such extraordinary speeds no
current missile defense technology in
the world can intercept it currently no
other missile in the world has been
developed that can cruise at Mac 10
speeds while maintaining a range of
thousands of
kilometers the Russian president claimed
that Russia deployed the oresnik missile
in November
2024 targeting a milit AR industrial
facility in dinpro
Ukraine this strike reportedly followed
a long-range missile attack by Ukraine
on Russian territory utilizing Western
supplied Storm Shadow missiles the
deployment of the oresnik underscores
Russia's ongoing efforts to develop
Advanced missile
Technologies it also highlights the
escalating intensity of the Russo
Ukrainian war with both sides
increasingly relying on sophisticated
weaponry
however us officials have noted that the
missile is still experimental with
Russia possessing only a limited number
as a result it is unlikely to see
regular deployment in the conflict with
Ukraine
