Oreshnik, Russia‘s previously unknown new ballistic missile with multiple re-entry vehicles and a speed of Mach 10 (ten times the speed of sound) whose first use in Ukraine surprised the US, NATO and the EU (since they were unaware its existence), means “hazelnuts” (Oreshnik) in Russian.
The Russian embassy in Greece thus sent its own message to our country:
“Have a nice weekend, Greece!
Ivan Siskin, “The Hazelnuts of the Crimea” (1884)”, referring to the work of the Russian painter Siskin (January 25, 1832 – March 20, 1898) who specialized in topographical subjects in his paintings.
The Russian embassy is trolling… “Hazelnuts” is the name of the supersonic ballistic missile “Oresnik”, which shook the global geopolitical waters, as well as the lands and air masses…

## Cracking the “Hazelnut”: A Discussion on Russia’s New Missile and Strategic Communication
**Welcome to World Today News!**
Today we’re diving deep into a topic that has sent ripples across the international stage: Russia’s newly revealed ballistic missile, the “Oreshnik,” and the subtle but pointed message its unveiling carries.
To help us understand the implications of this development, we have two distinguished guests: **Dr. Anna Petrov**, a leading expert on Russian military strategy, and **Dr. Leo Karas**, a specialist in geopolitical communication and media analysis.
**Welcome, Dr. Petrov and Dr. Karas. Let’s begin.**
**Section 1: The “Oreshnik” Unveiled**
* **Dr. Petrov,** the article states that the “Oreshnik” surprised Western intelligence services. Can you shed light on why this missile was able to remain undetected for so long? What does this tell us about Russia’s advancements in weapons technology?
* **Dr. Karas,** the name “Oreshnik” translates to “hazelnuts” in Russian. How do you interpret the Russian Embassy in Greece’s use of this seemingly benign term in relation to the missile’s deployment? What strategic goals might this type of communication serve?
**Section 2: Implications for Global Security**
* **Dr. Petrov,** what are the potential ramifications of the “Oreshnik’s” deployment for the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the broader geopolitical landscape? Does this escalate the risk of a wider conflict?
* **Dr. Karas,** how might the ”hazelnut” analogy be perceived by different audiences – Western nations, Ukraine, and the Russian public itself? Does this type of communication contribute to escalating tensions, or does it reflect a broader trend of information warfare?
**Section 3: Decoding the Message**
* **Both Guests**, the article mentions NATO holding emergency meetings following the “Oreshnik” deployment. Do you believe this missile marks a significant turning point in the conflict? What steps should the international community take to address this development?
* **Looking forward**: How might this event shape future military strategies and international relations in light of the rise of new and potentially game-changing weapons systems?
**Thank you both for your insightful comments. This has undoubtedly been a thought-provoking discussion on a crucial topic. As events unfold, World Today News will continue to provide comprehensive coverage and analysis.**
