Oreshnik turned out to be Putins inventioThe mediumrange ballistic missile, which the Russian dictator calls Oreshnik, has been around for at least 67 years.This is confirmed by a photo showing the serial number and production date of one of the parts of the Nutcracker April 12, 2017.According to experts, this actually means that the specific missile with which the Russians struck the Dnieper in November was assembled in 2017 or 2018.
What is important to understand is that 7 years ago, the Russian Federation intended to begin mass production of the RS26 Rubezh missile.Previously, many experts voiced the assumption that Oreshnik is simply a new name for the already known RS26 missile.
What is the important nuanceThe Defense Express editorial team concluded that technologically the missile itself is even older, as 2017 is the year of manufacture of a specific part.It is likely that the rocket design began in the early 2010s, or even earlier.
After all, the fact that the Russian Federation already had a control system for a mediumrange ballistic missile in metal in 2017 proves once again that the Kremlin was actively violating the IntermediateRange Nuclear Forces Treaty with the United States with this development, and not just with missiles for the Iskander, the experts emphasized.
As mentioned earlier, on November 21, Russia struck Ukraine for the first time with a mediumrange ballistic missile.Then dictator Putin began to claim that it was a new Russian development called Oreshnik.
