The Seriousness of Modern Missile Technology

Recent advances in missile technology, specifically the Oreshnik monster missile developed by Russia, may signify a shift away from traditional nuclear weapons. This missile possesses the capacity to deliver nuclear-equivalent destruction without the long-term environmental consequences, such as nuclear winter. Discussions suggest that its speed, reaching 7,600 miles an hour, allows it to hit major European capitals in mere minutes, emphasizing its threat level. The implication is that this development could redefine warfare dynamics, proposing a high-tech alternative to conventional nuclear arsenals.
