Russia’s “Oreshnik” MRBM, reportedly used in the Dnipro strike, may not be as new as claimed.
— Procurement documents from 2013 link its components to the RS-26 “Rubezh” missile and the S-30 “Bulava” SLBM.
— Markings from TsNIIAG, a key Russian research institute, and records from the Votkinsk Plant, which produces “Topol-M” and “Yars” missiles, suggest shared technology across systems.
— A specific component was manufactured using a Swiss-made Fehlmann Picomax 54 precision machine.
— The Pentagon has confirmed that “Oreshnik” heavily draws from the RS-26 missile design.
