We know that in 2026 the Ministry of Defense of Russia plans to put Oreshnik into mass production and acquire the ability to produce five or more such missiles per year.”
Details: At the same time, according to him, “Oreshnik” has more political than military content.”
“This is primarily an instrument of intimidation of our partners in Europe. And it has dubious combat effectiveness. “Oreshnik” is built on the technologies of the last century and needs constant technical support and prompt elimination of various malfunctions,” said Luhovsky.
He also stated that “today, the Kremlin leadership is not ready for real negotiations on ending the war, and the Russians are implementing a strategy of delaying time.”
According to Luhovsky, the Kremlin continues to bet on the maximum advance deep into the territory of Ukraine, as it is convinced of the possibility of a collapse of the front and the rear.
