El ataque masivo del 09Ene26 con misiles y drones sobre Ucrania, se destac\u00f3 por la utilizaci\u00f3n por segunda vez desde el inicio de la guerra, de un misil bal\u00edstico\u00a0“Oreshnik”. El arma que puede portar ojivas m\u00faltiples maniobrables\u00a0(MIRV) con capacidad nuclear, fue desarrollada por Rusia tras el abandono del tratado INF por parte de Washington y Mosc\u00fa en 2019. Se trata de un misil bal\u00edstico de alcance intermedio (IRBM) capaz de alcanzar blancos entre 3500 y 5000 km. El misil Oreshnik (avellano en ruso) surgi\u00f3 por primera vez en p\u00fablico despu\u00e9s de ser utilizado en lo que entonces fue un\u00a0ataque sin precedentes contra Ucrania\u00a0en noviembre de 2024. El Pent\u00e1gono afirma que el Oreshnik \u00a0se basa en el RS-26\u00a0, un misterioso sistema de armas estrat\u00e9gicas, cuyo desarrollo supuestamente se detuvo en 2018.<\/p>\n
Asecond example of Russia\u2019s\u00a0Oreshnik<\/a>\u00a0intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) has been fired against Ukraine. Moscow claimed the overnight strike was in retaliation for a supposed attempted Ukrainian drone attack\u00a0on President Vladimir Putin\u2019s residence<\/a>\u00a0late last month \u2014 an allegation Kyiv and Washington have said is false. Ukrainian authorities described Moscow\u2019s justification for the latest Oreshnik strike, part of a massive overnight missile and drone barrage, as \u201cabsurd.\u201d<\/p>\n The Oreshnik (Russian for hazel tree) missile first emerged in public after it was used in what was then an\u00a0unprecedented attack on Ukraine<\/a>\u00a0in November of 2024. The Pentagon states that the Oreshnik\u00a0is based on the RS-26<\/a>, a mysterious strategic weapon system, the development of which was supposedly halted in 2018. There was also an unverified report of a failed Oreshnik launch directed at Ukraine in February 2025, but this was subsequently\u00a0refuted by Ukrainian authorities<\/a>.<\/p>\n
