Hypersonics don't need a warhead, but since you are expending the time, energy and effort .... might as well keep the factory installed warhead on it.
Meteors don't need a warhead, the kinetic energy expended is immense.
I'm betting that the next Oreshnik 'test' will be both kinetic and explosive.
It's not like this "test" has not been warned and announced for nearly a year. Plus, it's hard to beat a "live test" versus a "simulated test" for good data.
