原来,11月21日攻击第聂伯罗市的“榛树”(Oreshnik)中程导弹使用了集束弹药(cluster munitions),携带6个常规弹头,每个弹头又释放了6个子弹头。难怪在视频中看到有些弹头在落地时分散为几部分,开始还以为是弹头解体了呢。导弹从俄罗斯的阿斯特拉罕(Astrakhan)地区的卡普斯京亚尔(Kapustin Yar)发射场起飞(又名伏尔加发射场,位于伏尔加格勒以东约100公里),应该用不了15分钟(估计5至10分钟就够了)即可到达第聂伯罗市的目标。

Ukrainian military officials said the Oreshnik missile that hit Dnipro had reached a speed of Mach 11 and carried six nonnuclear warheads each releasing six submunitions. The Pentagon confirmed that the missile was a new, experimental type of intermediate-range missile based on its RS-26 Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile.
Ukraine's intelligence directorate said the Oreshnik missile, whose name in Russian means "hazelnut tree," was fired from the Kapustin Yar 4th Missile Test Range in Russia's Astrakhan region, and flew 15 minutes before striking Dnipro. Thursday's attack struck the Pivdenmash plant that built ICBMs when Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union.
