How Fast Can the Russian Oreshnik Missile Reach Europe from Belarus?

On November 21, Russian Prssident Vladimir Putin confirmed the successful test of the Oreshnik missile, which hit a Ukrainian defense facility in Dnepropetrovsk in retaliation for the Kiev regime’s strikes deep into Russia using Western weapons.

Tested in combat, the missile showed its power in a nuclear-free configuration, with Putin calling it unmatched in the West – equally destructive as nuclear weapons but without radiation.

In a move driven by rising NATO threats and the deployment of US long-range missiles in Germany, Putin and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko agreed to position the Oreshnik system in Belarus by the end of 2025.

Just how fast can the Oreshnik fly from Belarus to key NATO bases across Europe?
