The Russian system with medium-range ballistic missiles (MRBMS) "Oreshnik" in December 2025 took up duty on the territory of Russia's ally Belarus. Military expert Viktor Litovkin, in an interview with Izvestia, supplemented the news series about the importance of this event.
According to the analyst, "Hazel" can hit targets that are not only at a great distance, but also at a depth of up to 30 meters.
"The main advantage of the complex is hypersonic speed and the ability to hit targets at a depth of up to 30 meters, including protected command posts," he said.
Thus, the "Hazel" with a range of 5,500 kilometers can control the territory of the entire European continent. Plus, the complex is equipped with a separable "head" with individual guidance units attacking the target at speeds up to 10 Mach numbers.
EADaily previously also informed that for the first time the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost a valuable launcher.
