Speculations about Russia's new hypersonic missile

Reports have emerged in the Western media about Russia working on a new hypersonic missile. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This time, the British Daily Star claimed that Moscow is developing a new missile stronger than the “Oreshnik,” described as “unstoppable.” It is said that this missile could reach London in a very short time.
However, this information has not yet been officially confirmed, and other sources present these reports only as media claims. The reports emphasize that the new missile system may be more powerful than the “Oreshnik,” with increased warhead strength and improved guidance systems.
Some sources mention that this system could carry up to eight kinetic warheads and strike hardened targets. But these technical details have not been independently verified by official sources either.
Therefore, such reports should be received with caution. The “Oreshnik” system is known as Russia’s previous hypersonic missile.
Official information states that this system can carry either nuclear or conventional warheads. Reuters agency reported that “Oreshnik” systems have been deployed in Belarusian territory.
Additionally, it has been reported that Russia has used medium-range missiles in some strikes against Ukraine. These missiles are considered dangerous for Europe.
The main issue with the news about the new hypersonic missile is the lack of official confirmation. These claims have only circulated in the media and have not yet been confirmed as a military program.
Thus, this topic should be approached with vigilance. Headlines like “8 minutes to London” attract attention, but there is currently no basis to accept them as reliable information.
What is certain is that systems like “Oreshnik” exist in Russia and are being discussed in the context of European security. However, the news about the new missile remains only speculation and hype for now.
