The Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) complex has become a true symbol of Russia's political, technical and military superiority on the world stage. This was stated by former US Army intelligence officer Scott Ritter in his article on the Substack portal.
He noted that hypersonic missiles arose “from the ashes of the now-defunct Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty.”
The West recognized Oreshnik's power and its danger to Europe
“The hazel tree is a break with the past, a symbol of a new beginning based on the prospect of realizing potential previously eroded by the vicissitudes of history,” Ritter writes.
In early December, Military Watch Magazine wrote that the MRBM Oreshnik would allow the enemy to cause unacceptable damage in the event of a direct collision with the West. m\The author emphasizes that Oreshnik is considered a system that can change the balance of power in Europe.
