Putin described "Oreshnik" as a hypersonic ballistic missile. He mentioned that it travels at 10 times the speed of sound, making it impossible to intercept.

It is believed to be equipped with multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles, each containing separate warheads capable of striking different targets. Anatoly Matviychuk, a Russian military expert, suggested that the missile could potentially carry six to eight conventional or nuclear warheads and is likely already in operation, as stated by Yuri Podolyaka, a well-known Ukrainian-born pro-Russian military blogger. The Pentagon stated that Russia launched a missile based on the "RS-26 Rubezh" intercontinental ballistic missile. U.S. had been informed of the launch via nuclear risk reduction channels.
