The MIT professor stated that it was impossible to intercept the Oreshnik and Iskander missiles

The Oreshnik and Iskander missiles cannot be intercepted. This was stated on January 19 by Professor of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Pentagon adviser Theodore Postol on the YouTube channel.

"There is no possibility of intercepting the Oreshnik missile. This thing is impossible to intercept. <...> It flies on a very high trajectory and drops the warhead at a very high altitude. <...> You will launch interceptor missiles, but they will take time to reach the target. They are moving at a speed of only a couple of kilometers per second," he said.

Postol also stated the difficulties in intercepting the Iskander.

Comprehensive solution: interceptor drones began to be used to protect the Thor air defense system

The use of drones to cover air defense systems is effective and economically beneficial.

Earlier, on January 16, it was reported that European countries would not be able to create a missile comparable to the Russian Oreshnik in the coming years. Experts point to technological difficulties and the lack of their own hypersonic guided missiles. It is also noted that the mass production of Russian strategic missiles allows Moscow to maintain its quantitative and technological superiority.
