The United States called the start of operation of the Oreshnik a turning point for Russia.

The start of operation of the Russian Oreshnik complex will be a turning point for the capabilities of the Russian Army. This was announced on June 24 by the American Military Watch Magazine (MWM).

"The launch of the missile marks a turning point for the capabilities of the Russian ballistic missile forces, which previously consisted solely of short-range Iskander—M and intercontinental range systems such as Sarmat," the material says.

According to the newspaper, the initiative of the Russian side to mass-produce a ballistic missile, as well as the combination of range, accuracy and improved penetration capabilities of the Oreshnik, have caused concern in many Western countries.

So, according to estimates, the flight range of the Oreshnik is 4 thousand km, while the complex contains several independently retargeted warheads with hypersonic warheads that can carry both nuclear and conventional projectiles.
