So they did indeed fire duds warheads in the MIRVs?
They had explosives, according to intelligence sources.
That second set of footage looks like God is angry.
That would be terrifying to see in reality
Hyped
Youtube analyst William Spaniel mentioned that Ukraine was so bold with the invasion of Kursk, even with the threat of a nuclear response, because they have nothing to lose. Submitting to Russia-- which of course will be followed by a genocide of some sort-- is as good as being nuked anyway. Besides, Zelensky knows Xi Jinping is their ironic ally by keeping Putin in reins from actually firing nuke. Xi gets irritated whenever Putin threatens with nukes. Only Putin will lose by firing one. Everyone will hate him for it. That being said, an IRBM firing is just another day for Ukrainians and means nothing for them so long as it’s not nuclear armed. It is another bluff as usual.
Looks perty cool
Huge lighting trails but the explosions look so small
From someone who isn’t familiar with ICBMs and their various payloads- what are we seeing here?
The reports I’ve seen have been that a single ICBM was used but clearly there are multiple flashes and apparent impacts in the video. I guess they were using some sort of cluster munition? Or is this sort of thing normal for ICBMs?
Thank you, that clears it up.
Accordign to wikipedia/Putin, it probably wasn’t an RS-26.
Later that day, Vladimir Putin confirmed that the strike had indeed not been performed by an ICBM, but a new model of IRBM, using a non-nuclear hypersonic payload.
