Episode Details

Russia’s hypersonic Oreshnik missile, touted as unstoppable and costing $50 million, may have just suffered a major malfunction—straying off course and hitting targets inside Russian-occupied Ukraine, including a shopping mall and contested towns. Evidence suggests the missile, deployed last year and praised by Putin, is actually decades old, assembled in 2017 with only Russian and Belarusian parts—far from the cutting-edge tech it claims to be. Ukrainian analysts also found Russian forces increasingly relying on Chinese components due to Western sanctions, revealing deeper supply chain struggles. Amid this, Russia launched hundreds of drones, which Ukraine partially intercepted, but the strikes still caused casualties and destruction.
