Russia ‘fires intercontinental ballistic missile’ at Ukraine for first time
Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile at Ukraine for the first time on Thursday morning, Kyiv’s air force said.
Supposedly, an RS-26 was launched from Astrakhan and targeted at infrastructure in Dnipro.
What Russia wants us to think:
"O no, allowing Ukraine to fire atacms into Russia was to much escalation! We must back down!"
What we actually think:
"Russia ran out of missiles and has to reach deep down its soviet arsenal to fire the last thing it's got. Next, they'll fire an R7"
ruzzia is running out of everything and using its last reserves.
EU and NATO need to pool together every resource to bankrupt this rotten state and drive it from Ukrainian soil. The defeat has to be so harsh that the ruzzkis won't be able to cross any border forever. Confine them to their own country, period.
Well I guess we should be giving Ukraine some ICBM's next. Or would that not be fair? :')
Seems like a bit of a waste to launch an intercontinental missile at a country next door, on the same continent. Isn't Russia supposed to have plenty of short and mid range ballistic missiles? I guess they must be running low.
I was under the impression that ICBMs weren't all that great for conventional warheads. Their payload capacity isn't enormous and their accuracy tends to be relatively low- which matters not a jot if you're firing nukes (which do a lot of bang per kilo, and where a few hundred metres either way isn't likely to be critical), but not so great for dropping normal munitions.
That's interesting.
