Andrei Martyanov, with assistance of Dmitry Orlov, has a mathematical breakdown of the power of Russia’s Oreshnik.

The closest comparable weapon the GAE has would involve dropping Miss Lindsey from high altitude.

We keep learning more cool details about Russia’s latest super weapon.

“Serial production of the Oreshnik has started, but ultimately, we will choose the means of destruction depending on the nature of the selected targets and the threats posed to the Russian Federation,” Putin said at a session of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) Security Council.

He also revealed new specs from the missile:
The missile’s warhead reaches a temperature of 4,000 degrees Celsius, making it highly destructive.
Anything in the blast zone is broken down into elementary particles, essentially turning it into dust.
The Oreshnik can target even well-protected, deeply buried structures, making it effective against fortified sites.
While not a weapon of mass destruction, its power is still capable of causing massive destruction without a nuclear charge.
The missile is designed for extremely precise strikes, ensuring high-value targets are hit with deadly accuracy.

That’s about 1000 degrees hotter than I’ve previously heard. It’s not clear if the 6 – 36 MIRVs or sub-munitions rely on high explosives, extreme kinetic force, or both. 333-4000K is sufficient to to additionally released a plasma shock wave to burn and blast. Many secrets remain, but the big question is where will the old hazel stick strike next?
