00:00Russia's most feared new missile may have a major problem.
00:03A new investigation claims the Kremlin's Oreshnik missile is suffering serious technical failures.
00:09Leaked documents reportedly show production bottlenecks inside Russia's defense industry.
00:14At the center of the issue is a guidance component called the GU-503 gyroscope.
00:20The system helps keep the missile on its intended flight path.
00:24Analysts say even a tiny error at hypersonic speeds can cause a missile to miss by tens of kilometers.
00:31The report claims Russia has struggled to manufacture and properly calibrate these components.
00:36Some testing equipment reportedly dates back to the 1970s Soviet era.
00:42Investigators also say missile debris recovered in Ukraine contained newly produced GU-503 units.
00:48That suggests Russia may still be relying on outdated technology.
00:52The Institute for the Study of War says Russia could have just one operational Oreshnik missile remaining.
00:59Despite the reported flaws, experts warn the missile remains a serious threat.
01:04It can potentially carry nuclear warheads and strike targets across Europe.
01:08For now, questions are growing about whether Putin's newest missile is living up to the hype.
01:13The Ń„Đ°Đş hazard is actually very different as a 96-110.
