Russia’s New Oreshnik Missile Takes Off Across Asian Online Search Engines

Baidu Baike, China’s largest search engine: the Oreshnik is translated using a hieroglyph that represents a hazelnut tree. The article features the missile’s characteristics, expert opinions, and multimedia materials, including a video showcasing the missile’s combat use.

South Korea’s Namuwiki: «The Oreshnik seems to have been named for the resemblance of its six warheads, which fall during the terminal phase, to the flowers of the hazelnut tree,» the page dedicated to missile-related topics reads, while also featuring footage of the Oreshnik’s launch.

Wikipedia: the Internet-based encyclopedia has articles about the Oreshnik in its Chinese, Thai, Indonesian, and Vietnamese sections. All of these articles, except the Chinese one, are translations of the English-language entry. Mistakenly, the Chinese version refers to the Oreshnik as a long-range ballistic missile.
