Original Note:
There is nothing new in the Oreshnik, based on the old RS-26 Rubezh. Warheads are not hypersonic, descent to target is by gravity and limited by airdrag, not assisted by rocket propulsion. Truly hypersonic in reentry missiles has been developed by western companies. https://www.thalesgroup.com/en/worldwide/defence-and-security/magazine/hypersonic-defence-introduction https://ariane.group/en/defence-systems/hypersonic-systems/
