What Oreshnik looks like. Journalists were shown wreckage of missile, with which russia hit Dnipro, for the first time

The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) showed journalists from the Associated Press the wreckage of the Oreshnik missile, with which russia hit Dnipro on November 21.

AP journalists showed photos of the remains of the missile.

The wreckage has not yet been studied in detail, but was simply shown to journalists in an unnamed place in Ukraine.

The photos show charred and bent parts, pieces of wires and part of the missile body the size of a car tire.

The SSU said that the missile flew on a ballistic trajectory and caused damage, in particular, to the civilian infrastructure of Dnipro. The remains of such a weapon were discovered in Ukraine for the first time.

Recall that the Defense Intelligence says that the Oreshnik missile does not exist as such. This name is used to confuse experts. According to one version, it is actually a ballistic missile Kedr. There may be up to ten such missiles in the russian federation.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on November 21, russia attacked Dnipro with an experimental medium-range ballistic missile Oreshnik (Kedr), which can carry a nuclear warhead. The aggressor currently has two to ten such warheads, and at least ten tests are required to begin serial production.

It is possible that one of these tests was the attack on Yuzhmash, because fragments of telemetry, necessary for measuring flight parameters, were found at the hit site. However, experts suggest that Oreshnik could have disintegrated on the approach to the target due to entering the dense layers of the atmosphere at a speed of 2 km/second.
