In a stark warning to the West, President Putin said the attack with the intermediate-range Oreshnik missile was in retaliation for Kyiv’s use of U.S. and British longer-range missiles.
Somehow I think they would have found another reason if we hadn’t authorized deeper strikes. This was literally one of their prototypes, they are just now starting production. It’s not something they held back, graciously waiting to use it because the Ukrainians were so polite in their war fighting.
I wouldn’t say useless. anything they can use to blow up strategic targets is going to help them. It’s just a hilariously inefficient use of the new missile.
If test results are expected to be partially falsified by corrupt executors - then relying on your actual enemy to deliver those results makes some sense.
Oh yeah. No doubt. That’s not what I’m saying. Putin is claiming this is a measured retaliation and not a test they would have conducted no matter what. Which is hilarious.
Yes, but he also is very capable of appearing miserable where he actually isn’t. That should be considered. Homeless dogs are not very formidable enemies, but they can kill you if you turn your back on them. House pests are not, but it’s sometimes a tremendous effort to get rid of them.

It’s quite useless for attacking Ukraine too.
