"Oreshnik" not a "wunderwafe" - weapon - miracle. The term was popularized by Nazi propaganda during World War II. It denoted a number of the latest revolutionary weapons developments, which were hoped to win the war and keep Hitler in power.
Under the current conditions, Russia will not be able to mass-produce the Oreshnik intercontinental ballistic missile. This predicts before "Channel 24" Roman Svitan, military expert, flight instructor and reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to him, this missile cannot be considered a "wunderwafe", news.bg specified.
According to the analyst, this missile is already about ten years old and the Russians "can call anything with this term". According to Svitan, there is no way this missile will enter combat duty or even go into mass production - in particular, because of the economic problems of the Russians related to the sanctions from the West.
"Manufacturing a missile of this level is complicated because it travels thousands of kilometers and has separate warheads. So this is a complex production and to put it on the assembly line is unrealistic for the Russians in the conditions they are in now.
They can put it on the assembly line, if, for example, they freeze the war, then in 3-4 years this missile will go into mass production. Then, of course, they will be able to stamp them in dozens of pieces, but not in hundreds," Svitan explained.
