This is the Orishnik missile, a state-of-the-art weapon system launched from a massive 12-by-12 truck platform. It has been meticulously engineered with multiple stages, enabling it to reach orbit in a few minutes. But what sets it apart from all the rest? Well, this missile can hit hypersonic speed. Once it reaches this altitude, it transitions into a steep dive, accelerating to hypersonic speeds. During its descent, the missile's fairing opens to unveil six highly sophisticated warheads. Each warhead is equipped with miniature thrusters at its base. These thrusters enable the warheads to maneuver dynamically, even as they fall under the influence of gravity. It can change directions, making it almost impossible for the Patriot missile to hit its target all in the video ahead. The missile design incorporates three distinct stages. The first stage consists of mobile thrusters, which help moves the missile, and it is filled with solid fuel. Just above it is the second stage, followed by the third and final stage, which holds six warheads, each with their own engine. This design enables the missile to deliver a powerful payload over long distances with remarkable precision. Weighting up to 50 tons at launch and carrying the warhead payload of 1.3 tons. The Orishnik missile has a range of 4,000 to 6,000 kilometers. This is capable of hitting all over Europe. What's particularly fascinating is that this missile is equipped with a sophisticated MIRV, multiple independently target-able re-entry vehicle system, capable of deploying approximately six warheads. These six re-entry vehicles are reportedly based on American designs. Although much of the technical information remains classified, here is what we know so far. The missile itself is launched from a self platform equipped with a 12 by 12 wheel configuration allowing for significant mobility The TDL Transport Erector Launcher System supports a cold launch method Let's take a look at what is a cold launch system. A cold launch is a type of missile that is ejected from its launch tube or canister using an initial burst of compressed gas or a small explosive charge before its main rocket engine ignites. This launch method contrasts with hot launch systems like the THAAD or Patriot, where the missile's main engine fires while it is still inside the launch tube or canister. This cold launch technique reduces wear on the launcher and minimizes the risk of launch site detection. Additionally, the TEL is equipped with advanced hydraulics for stabilization and precise alignment of the missile before launch, ensuring accurate trajectory initiation. The system also integrates secure communications and command links with Russia's strategic rocket forces, enabling coordinated fire missions. At the front of the re-entry vehicle is the fuse and the nose, which are critical for its aerodynamic performance and functional operation. Directly behind the nose is the contact sensor, along with the arming and fusing system. This system ensures the warhead is armed and ready to detonate at the correct moment upon reaching its target. Moving further back, we find the warhead compartment. This section can house a nuclear warhead, making the vehicle a potential tool for strategic deterrence or offense, depending on its intended use. One of the critical features of this re-entry vehicle is its ability to maneuver and change direction while traveling at extremely high speeds. To achieve this, the vehicle is equipped with two spin nozzles located at specific points on its structure and a spin gas generator which provides the propulsion necessary for such precise movements.
