Russia Ramps Up Hypersonic Missile Production | JQJO

Russia is ramping up production of its Oreshnik hypersonic missile, boasting a range of 3,415 miles and the ability to reach targets across Europe and the western US. President Putin claims it's virtually uninterceptable, a claim disputed by defense analysts. While its range and speed pose challenges, analysts argue its impact is overstated due to high cost and limited payload. The missile's first operational use was in a strike on Dnipro, Ukraine in November. Experts suggest the Oreshnik is more propaganda than a revolutionary shift in Russia's military capabilities.
