DESCRIPTION

Oreshnik is a Russian intermediate-range ballistic missile system publicly associated with RS-26/Rubezh technology and reported multiple-reentry-vehicle behavior. WDL carries it as a capability/equipment reference tied to reviewed Kyiv/Bila Tserkva reporting and unreviewed social-source technical claims; exact performance, payload, inventory, impact effects, and interception limits remain source-attributed rather than independently verified.
