But they can tell trajectory. Which is fast to analyze. So they would in no time know where it's roughly heading and from that knowledge they would know it's very unlikely armed with actual nukes - too high risk of hitting themselves or getting affected by outcomes since it's literally on their border. There's also fact they need Ukrainian food production and any actual usage of nukes anywhere in Ukraine would screw them over .

Because they were warned about the retaliation and were told that it wont be a Nuclear tip because if it was, Early Warning System wuld detect the ICBM's in EU wuld already have their own response because when ICBM's are launched all of them are speculated to have nuclear armed tips in them.

Yeah that's right. Let's never take them seriously no matter what they do, until forever. Launching ICBMs without warheads knowing that NATO could have nuked them in response..... That's not a serious gesture....
Correct, Russia is just virtue-signaling with ICBMs which will work to win the hearts and minds of millions of Americans who themselves are insufferable virtue-signalers.
Russia told us before the missile attack into Russia what would happen this was just a demonstration and reminder that if it happens again there's zero reason not to strap a nuke on it next time.
A sneak all out nuclear attack by a superpower on another superpower would start with a single very high altitude thermonuclear detonation to blind early warning radar. Hence the convention that a country launching ICBMs or rockets that could be mistaken for such must give prior notification to others.
@@ihavenoidea4727 There is no threat of a nuclear attack on American bases, but the day after the first ATACAMS strike into Russia Putin clearly threatened a _non_ nuclear missile attack on an American base if the ATACMS strikes deep into Russia continue.
This is Putin's way of getting laughs. Im sure Ukraine and the West knew this was an ICBM, thinking it was a Nuke, containing a Nuke. The fact it didn't, was Putin's way of saying, the next one might
All it takes is one phone call from Moscow to Washington in order to let our side know there were no nukes aboard. Now if that happen or not isn't what being question. The use of the weapon is thing being question and concerning. For if Russia fires these missiles one at time repeatedly without them armed with nuclear weapon set a precedents, and we will be caught off guard when Russia decides to send one with Nukes.
my guess this will push the narrative that Russia dont have any working Nucular weapons at all. hey look Russia send a ICBM into Ukrain into a ICBM target and it did not work. some General had sold the warhead or the warhead was removed so that the rocket could actually fly. There been rumors that Russia have few if any working nukes, consider how little they spend on nucular weapon maintenance. and we can see from how the tanks and ships are doing that what little money Russia spends on its military that actually gets there. Russia have a bigger military then the US yet Russia spends what a 1/20 of what the US spends (after we adjust for GDP adjustment and all that).
There's absolutely no way this was done without prior warning being given. Despite the ongoing conflict nuclear powers are very clear in communicating about possible nuclear threats. Despite Putin's constant nuclear sabre rattling. It's desperation. If he really did fire multiple ICBMs without warning, it could easily lead to a retaliation and he knows that.
Except for Putin warned the US, UK, and France BEFORE the launch that this is not a nuke dont worry (through nuclear threat reduction channels). Which literally shows us that Putin is afraid of a MAD nuclear reaction and nuclear escalation. funny how its the complete opposite of what u said.
If ICBMs become routinely used in conventional warfare, it becomes difficult to discern when an ICBM is carrying a nuclear weapon. So, it becomes very dangerous if the U.S. or someone else confuses a conventionally armed ICBM with one that is Nuclear armed. It could lead to an all out Nuclear war by mistake.
"It could lead to an all out Nuclear war by mistake." No it won't. Russia will not send non-nuclear ICBMs to other nations such as NATO. It is a stunt to give the trolls and fools something to point at and scream about the threats. Good job falling for it. We will come back and laugh later.
And how you'll discern nuclear armed Tomahawk or other cruise type missile? They're used quite casually. ICBMs on the other side are very, very expensive weapons so no casual use makes any sense.
@@TheYehat They just proved they are able to launch and hit a target with an IRBM MIRV for the first time ever in war so I would say they got their message across. The next one could be conventional or nuclear we wouldn't know until it hit.

IRBM - Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile 5500km range In this case it was an IRBM configured with kinetic cassettes, so each MIRV deploys 6 kinetic projectiles which hit their target at re-entry speeds (hence the 6 bursts of 6 projectiles) - Russia was perfectly clear at every point in time that NATO ballistic or long range assets being used against Russia from Ukraine would bring strategic forces into the conflict, this is just a demonstration, the next one will likely be in Kiev targeting key things which have been allowed to live all this time, not survived under an umbrella as Ukraine likes to pretend.

"Theres no effective way to intercept hypersonic missiles on re-entry" Last week "Energy weapons can intercept hypersonic projectiles at the speed of light"
There is a diference between a weapon being deployed and used and a speculation on if something theoretically is possible. No with the current deployed air defenses you can not intercept anything like this. As proved my the Iranian missile strike on Nevatim air base which one of the most air defended place in the world. The US or Europe have nowhere near that kind of air defense capability and density over all of their cities. Which is understandable since Israel is tiny and the US and Europe are huge.
using lasers doesn't work since you would have to be flying with the icbm close enough to deploy since lasers drop off in intensity with distance so strike that, energy weapons besides that? like what? EMP basically another warhead, well now you are having to intercept in high orbit and now you have fallout in the atmosphere so that is not good for anyone and also sketchy as to if it will stop the hit. Now count how many can be launched by all countries but especially USA and Russia alone, it would be Mutually Assured Destruction M.A.D.
There are currently no laser weapons that are anywhere near powerful enough to shoot down a cruise missile. Currently, lasers are only capable of shooting down extremely slow-flying drones, nothing more. But even for that, the laser has to be aimed at the target for between 5 and 7 seconds. This is simply not possible with fast objects. The idea of using them to shoot down hypersonic missiles has always been fiction.
@@marvin902x well, you can take out mortar/arillery shells too with a tactical laser. But yeah, currently, nobody has a weaponised laser that could take down a proper cruise missile, much less a ballistic RV in terminal phase.

With what would Ukraine intercept an ICBM? Patriots are not designed to intercept these kinds of missiles. THAAD which Ukraine does not posses can THEORETICALY intercept simple ballistic missiles. It is hard to know if it could intercept modern missiles with modern counter measures with dummy warheads.
I don't know why people are surprised by this weapon. MIRVs have existed for several decades now. They existed many years before the end of the Cold War, and they certainly contained nuclear payloads back then, and will do again.

"In combat conditions, a test was carried out of one of the latest Russian intermediate-range missile systems. In this case, with a non-nuclear hypersonic version of a ballistic missile," -Putin ...Pretty sure Russia is also claiming it too...
Also, I do love the Russian's version of 'hypersonic' (it hypersonic at *any* part of its flight), under their definition, the German V2 from WW2 would be classed as a hypersonic... The west has actual hypersonic: Terminal phase hypersonic. (its hypersonic on the final part of its flight...which is the most important phase, as this is when it is the most vulnerable to anti-missile systems, and what allows it to deliver a larger impact)
Russia's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman was phoned during a live briefing and told not to comment on reports that Russia had fired a ballistic missile at Ukraine, according to a video of the briefing that picked up the telephone conversation.
Its not ICB, its intermediate ballistic missle and this one didnt carry explosives, just duds. Its sort of a demonstration, they said its a new type of missle
Based on the video there were actually 6 separate re-entry vehicles each with 6 munitions. So 36 total. But since there were no visible explosions on impact it's likely they were just kinetic or test warheads not high explosive
Not necessarily, although it is possible. But given the speed, it is also quite conceivable that they were used as bunker busters to destroy some hidden bunkers deep underground.
All warhe ad fell on Pivdenmash factory, also known as Yuzhmash factory. go to google and find out what that factory is for, and what it may be used for. and go to google maps and see what is on the surface and what must be below.
I can't see Russia using very many of these in the war as they would want to keep them to maintain their nuclear deterrence and they also must be very expensive.
No, he didn't launch an ICBM. An ICBM has a minimum range of like 3k miles. They used short range missiles. But, the media is playing semantics since Russia and Ukraine are TECHNICALLY on different continents.
The strike on Dnepropetrovsk was a nuclear warning, regardless of the missile's range. Nuclear expert Fabian Hoffman stated this on CNN. The main difference between an ICBM and other types of missiles is simply that they have a much longer range. But a more important factor is the missile's payload. The missile that attacked the Dnieper carried a MIRV payload, multiple warheads for striking separate targets. This type was developed during the Cold War to deliver multiple nuclear charges for different purposes, Hoffman explained.
It is all Putin has left. The expensive hypersonic missile didn't scare people, so he used an ICBM. It was a stunt to give fodder to the trolls and fools.

This reminds me of what I heard an Air Defense guy say about one use of cheap drones: "Look, a Shahed drone might cost 10,000 US. A patriot missel at least 30 times that. If you use a Patriot to shoot down a Shahed, that is a win for the Shahed>" If Russians are using super expensive ICBM to hit low value targets, that is a win for Ukraine.

1. This was NOT an ICBM but an experimental mid range missile (IRBM). 2. Very odd that the MERV warheads weren't actually targeting anything specific rather used shotgun like to an industrial area. Wonder if they actually couldn't or just didn't bother.
you can only steer a ballistic RV so much. Its a cone. No fins, nothing. A bit of steering can be done with uneven mass and rotating it, but for a terminal guidance is nearly nothing. But then, those are designed, usually, for a nuclear warhead and you dont exactly need a pinpoint precision when you are carrying few hundred kilotons worth of payload.
It’s more surprising that they had one which functioned. The latest Sarmat 2 failed 4/5 launches. This was a message by Putin to say, “Hey we still got some that work!”

@@BorKagan777 Neither is the personal security agent who was paid off to pop a few rounds off at Putin if he orders a first-strike ...

@@ThornsOfOurTimeyeah, Putler is over 70 and the only place he'll ever travel to after this is the bench in the Hague. It's def a slow motion train wreck.
What became clear with this missile attack is that there was no reaction during the missile's flight. Usually we always see models where a nuclear missile is launched and then an automated reaction follows. The missile could have carried nuclear warheads that hit Ukraine and no one would have reacted. In other words, this would give Russia permission from the West to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine at any time. Strange that this is not mentioned anywhere. Greetings from Switzerland
Possibly also a test for immediate interdiction response? Unless the US did not already know it was conventional, what was happening at NORAD upon the launch?
It was going in wrong direction and that was clear almost instantly. ICBMs goes on ballistic curve and cannot change it's trajectory (warheads themselves are different story, but you still need to go in general direction before deploying them), so it was immediately clear it's not going on USA and that it's not really going anywhere far, so it definitely wasn't going to be armed with nukes, that would be too much bang too close Russia with too much risk of hitting themselves with them.
@@depressedTrentI figured the could calculate the trajectory very quickly, however I assumed as well that merely opening up a silo and seeing a launch about to happen would be cause for panic to say the least
@ShaneH5150 opening and launch are actually happening so quickly that they wouldn't really have time to notice until automated system tells them there was launch and where it's going, they aren't even observing those silos directly, their detection is focused solely on signs of launch and measuring trajectory
It is! They have actually resorted to using chips from washing machines back in 2022 didnt you read the headlines back then? Man western propaganda is idiotic.

The six MIRVs struck Dnipro at hypersonic speeds and this showed that they cannot be intercepted. Think of this RS-26 demo like a brush-back pitch in baseball. The batter is going to think twice about standing too close to the plate.
ICBMs can carry one type of hypersonic weapon. There are 2 types of hypersonic weapons Hypersonic glide vehicles which are launched by ballistic missiles which are currently deployed in Russian and Chinese arsenals. And Hypersonic cruise missiles powered by scramjets. A weapon is considered to be hypersonic if it flies at hypersonic speeds AND can maneuver both horizontally and vertically while flying through the atmosphere. The maneuver part is important because almost all MIRV and MARV from ballistic missiles have hypersonic speeds but only in their terminal phase with limited maneuverability.
Scratching my head, everyone was expecting a response from Russia after the US decision to FAAFO regarding long range missile hitting inside Russia. But no! according to this channel, this was unprovoked.
I don't agree that this was "expensive" as you said it's the first time an icbm has been used in actual war, it has likely been available for decades and is thus aging and essentially free
Its a demonstration of technical capability. Moscows has had a series of failed demonstrations before so the fact that they used an ICBM with MIRVs its a reminder that they still have functioning big guns.
Would be important to understand, even though it is a more technical thing, the missile launched was not an ICBM, but rather a LRBM, this is primarily due to the range not meeting the requirements to be classified as an ICBM (it has been reported that it was just shy of having the range to be an ICBM). Payload being conventional and not nuclear is obviously accurate.

no way too fast. Glide bombs are dumb bombs with an attachment to give them targeting abilities the drop them from aircraft and they glide to target these were traveling faster than the speed of sound.

WRONG
A dangerous move. Alert systems such as the ones at NORAD cannot tell what the payload of an ICBM is…. This is how mistakes happen.
But they can tell trajectory. Which is fast to analyze. So they would in no time know where it's roughly heading and from that knowledge they would know it's very unlikely armed with actual nukes - too high risk of hitting themselves or getting affected by outcomes since it's literally on their border. There's also fact they need Ukrainian food production and any actual usage of nukes anywhere in Ukraine would screw them over .
Why do you think US Embassy and others left Kyiv? Because they were warned about the retaliation and were told that it wont be a Nuclear tip because if it was, Early Warning System wuld detect the ICBM's in EU wuld already have their own response because when ICBM's are launched all of them are speculated to have nuclear armed tips in them.

This is Putin's way of getting laughs. Im sure Ukraine and the West knew this was an ICBM, thinking it was a Nuke, containing a Nuke. The fact it didn't, was Putin's way of saying, the next one might
All it takes is one phone call from Moscow to Washington in order to let our side know there were no nukes aboard. Now if that happen or not isn't what being question. The use of the weapon is thing being question and concerning. For if Russia fires these missiles one at time repeatedly without them armed with nuclear weapon set a precedents, and we will be caught off guard when Russia decides to send one with Nukes.
my guess this will push the narrative that Russia dont have any working Nucular weapons at all.
hey look Russia send a ICBM into Ukrain into a ICBM target and it did not work.
some General had sold the warhead or the warhead was removed so that the rocket could actually fly.
There been rumors that Russia have few if any working nukes, consider how little they spend on nucular weapon maintenance.
and we can see from how the tanks and ships are doing that what little money Russia spends on its military that actually gets there.
Russia have a bigger military then the US yet Russia spends what a 1/20 of what the US spends (after we adjust for GDP adjustment and all that).
The Russians gave advance warning to avoid just such a possibility. That's why some of the western embassies were closed.
There's absolutely no way this was done without prior warning being given. Despite the ongoing conflict nuclear powers are very clear in communicating about possible nuclear threats. Despite Putin's constant nuclear sabre rattling. It's desperation. If he really did fire multiple ICBMs without warning, it could easily lead to a retaliation and he knows that.
Except for Putin warned the US, UK, and France BEFORE the launch that this is not a nuke dont worry (through nuclear threat reduction channels). Which literally shows us that Putin is afraid of a MAD nuclear reaction and nuclear escalation.
funny how its the complete opposite of what u said.
If ICBMs become routinely used in conventional warfare, it becomes difficult to discern when an ICBM is carrying a nuclear weapon. So, it becomes very dangerous if the U.S. or someone else confuses a conventionally armed ICBM with one that is Nuclear armed. It could lead to an all out Nuclear war by mistake.
"It could lead to an all out Nuclear war by mistake." No it won't. Russia will not send non-nuclear ICBMs to other nations such as NATO.
It is a stunt to give the trolls and fools something to point at and scream about the threats. Good job falling for it. We will come back and laugh later.
And how you'll discern nuclear armed Tomahawk or other cruise type missile? They're used quite casually. ICBMs on the other side are very, very expensive weapons so no casual use makes any sense.

"Theres no effective way to intercept hypersonic missiles on re-entry"
Last week
"Energy weapons can intercept hypersonic projectiles at the speed of light"
There is a diference between a weapon being deployed and used and a speculation on if something theoretically is possible. No with the current deployed air defenses you can not intercept anything like this. As proved my the Iranian missile strike on Nevatim air base which one of the most air defended place in the world. The US or Europe have nowhere near that kind of air defense capability and density over all of their cities. Which is understandable since Israel is tiny and the US and Europe are huge.
using lasers doesn't work since you would have to be flying with the icbm close enough to deploy since lasers drop off in intensity with distance so strike that, energy weapons besides that? like what? EMP basically another warhead, well now you are having to intercept in high orbit and now you have fallout in the atmosphere so that is not good for anyone and also sketchy as to if it will stop the hit. Now count how many can be launched by all countries but especially USA and Russia alone, it would be Mutually Assured Destruction M.A.D.
There are currently no laser weapons that are anywhere near powerful enough to shoot down a cruise missile. Currently, lasers are only capable of shooting down extremely slow-flying drones, nothing more. But even for that, the laser has to be aimed at the target for between 5 and 7 seconds. This is simply not possible with fast objects. The idea of using them to shoot down hypersonic missiles has always been fiction.
@@marvin902x well, you can take out mortar/arillery shells too with a tactical laser. But yeah, currently, nobody has a weaponised laser that could take down a proper cruise missile, much less a ballistic RV in terminal phase.

Что? На каких разных континентах?)) ты нормальный?
The strike on Dnepropetrovsk was a nuclear warning, regardless of the missile's range. Nuclear expert Fabian Hoffman stated this on CNN. The main difference between an ICBM and other types of missiles is simply that they have a much longer range. But a more important factor is the missile's payload. The missile that attacked the Dnieper carried a MIRV payload, multiple warheads for striking separate targets. This type was developed during the Cold War to deliver multiple nuclear charges for different purposes, Hoffman explained.
The payload is very small for a price/result. You don’t use a 100 000 000$ missile when you can send a 5 000 000$ plane for the same result
ICBMs are very expensive longer range weapons. Why would you waste the money when cheaper options are available ?

1. This was NOT an ICBM but an experimental mid range missile (IRBM). 2. Very odd that the MERV warheads weren't actually targeting anything specific rather used shotgun like to an industrial area. Wonder if they actually couldn't or just didn't bother.
Besides a name, there is zero difference in outcome or how to handle it.
you can only steer a ballistic RV so much. Its a cone. No fins, nothing. A bit of steering can be done with uneven mass and rotating it, but for a terminal guidance is nearly nothing. But then, those are designed, usually, for a nuclear warhead and you dont exactly need a pinpoint precision when you are carrying few hundred kilotons worth of payload.

What became clear with this missile attack is that there was no reaction during the missile's flight. Usually we always see models where a nuclear missile is launched and then an automated reaction follows.

It was going in wrong direction and that was clear almost instantly. ICBMs goes on ballistic curve and cannot change it's trajectory (warheads themselves are different story, but you still need to go in general direction before deploying them), so it was immediately clear it's not going on USA and that it's not really going anywhere far, so it definitely wasn't going to be armed with nukes, that would be too much bang too close Russia with too much risk of hitting themselves with them.

@ShaneH5150 opening and launch are actually happening so quickly that they wouldn't really have time to notice until automated system tells them there was launch and where it's going, they aren't even observing those silos directly, their detection is focused solely on signs of launch and measuring trajectory
@depressedTrent appreciate the knowledge, have a good one
@@ShaneH5150 you too
Is Russia running out of more suitable missiles?
My first thought! Everything else was gone already. This is what's still in stock.
Funny. Do you still believe in the nonsense from the media? The Russians will NEVER run out of missiles,
It is! They have actually resorted to using chips from washing machines back in 2022 didnt you read the headlines back then? Man western propaganda is idiotic.
it's a warning shot. Those missiles can hit London
Nah. Just more political posturing.
US says it was an Oreshnik type IRBM, not the Yars ICBM that was first reported.
Вы имели ввиду"Сармат" или "Тополь-М"? "Ярс"-это аббревиатура Ядерная Ракета Стратегическая.
US needs to cover up russia, to help deescalation.
If it was not ICBM - no pre-launch warnings were needed. If there were any - it WAS and ICBM.
russians lied about Oreshnik, there is no Oreshnik. Literally no information on it present.
@@ФросяБурлакова-ч9ъ The RS-24 Yars (РС-24 Ярс - ракета стратегическая (strategic missile)-modification 24) also known as Topol-MR, NATO reporting name SS-27 Mod 2
Should we believe USA??
They are IRBMs - intermediate range ballistic missiles as opposed to ICBMs
Ты адекватный американец 🤝
That slightly reduces Russia's nuclear deterrence as that's one less ICBM the world knows they have.
The production capacity for this type of IRBM (Oreshnik) is estimated to be at 6-8 missiles per month. I wouldnt get my hopes up.
@@aleksandarpopsavin3842 maybe its a language problem but his comment wasnt about the amount of them, it was about knowledge of capabilities lol.
conventional warheads in an icbm is waste because they will be tiny in comparison to something a plane can drop.
A large plane won't fly if there is good air defense nearby.
Yes. The basic idea is a "nuclear black mail". Now analyse the possible consequences in logical terms.
1. The nuclear black mail works.
Or
2. It fails.
In any circumstances, it is clear that the logical developments in the years ahead shall be and will be disastrous.
The six MIRVs struck Dnipro at hypersonic speeds and this showed that they cannot be intercepted. Think of this RS-26 demo like a brush-back pitch in baseball. The batter is going to think twice about standing too close to the plate.
Ты далёк от истины , самолёт медленно летит его легко сбить , эта ракета летела 5 минут её не сбили , чувствуешь разницу?
Russia could put foabs on that icbm that would flatten everything.
The Russian generals sold the big nuclear boom part of the ICBM for potato vodka money
Ты очень смелый! 😂
@@angleofview4493а ты очень тупой

I'm surprised the missile even left the ground. Rocket fuel=life time supply of vodka
Next time that icbm will be carrying Russias biggest thermobaric bombs foab .
Its not an ICBM, he is live on TV now, its a hypersonic , there is a big difference
ICBMs can carry one type of hypersonic weapon. There are 2 types of hypersonic weapons Hypersonic glide vehicles which are launched by ballistic missiles which are currently deployed in Russian and Chinese arsenals. And Hypersonic cruise missiles powered by scramjets. A weapon is considered to be hypersonic if it flies at hypersonic speeds AND can maneuver both horizontally and vertically while flying through the atmosphere. The maneuver part is important because almost all MIRV and MARV from ballistic missiles have hypersonic speeds but only in their terminal phase with limited maneuverability.
It’s an IRBM. ICBM’s are also hypersonic, they travel at 20 times the speed of sound.
Scratching my head, everyone was expecting a response from Russia after the US decision to FAAFO regarding long range missile hitting inside Russia. But no! according to this channel, this was unprovoked.
I don't agree that this was "expensive" as you said it's the first time an icbm has been used in actual war, it has likely been available for decades and is thus aging and essentially free
Depends if the conventional warheads are new or not.
It was a demonstration. "We can make our payload fly far, don't screw with us."
Nobody’s scared, nuclear bluff doesn’t work and nobody’s messing with them. It’s them who’s messing with everyone else
I'm just shocked that they actually have (had) an operational ICBM
They have to test them out as they have no idea they can even launch.
Its a demonstration of technical capability. Moscows has had a series of failed demonstrations before so the fact that they used an ICBM with MIRVs its a reminder that they still have functioning big guns.
Would be important to understand, even though it is a more technical thing, the missile launched was not an ICBM, but rather a LRBM, this is primarily due to the range not meeting the requirements to be classified as an ICBM (it has been reported that it was just shy of having the range to be an ICBM). Payload being conventional and not nuclear is obviously accurate.
Why cant you show it on youtube? I see other channels showing it.
He probably got strikes on his channel
@@jameslopez9661 I don't think that's it. Showing real combat footage demonitizes the video so then Paul wouldn't be making any money from the video. It's not an issue of he "can't" but more of he doesn't "want" to because that would defeat the purpose of him making the videos.
Probably wants paying for it.
Remember that their "job" is to push BS to make a few cents.

Makes me wonder if they're out of glide bombs
no way too fast. Glide bombs are dumb bombs with an attachment to give them targeting abilities the drop them from aircraft and they glide to target these were traveling faster than the speed of sound.
Q...If they're so expensive, and incredibly difficult to intercept, why would the first target not be Patriot batteries to take out the air defences for cheaper missiles?
Южмаж, который делал в салон время страшную Сатану, более приоритетная цель. В нормальной войне, а не СВО все эти удары бы наносились бы в первый день .
Probably becuase they are supposed to be used with nukes and not so precise like ordinary missiles.
Your analysis is right on. It is important to point out the projectiles shown impacting did not have explosives. They were just hot from traveling super fast. Also nukes would have detonated at a much higher altitude.
This isn't that complicated. It's a warning.
@@trunorth9243 a warning that Russia has no REAL answer to Ukraine firing ATACMS and Storm Shadows. There is zero chance they launch a nuke.
It is a stunt, nothing else. It isn't a warning.
@@antimatters6283 It's a show of potential force
@@trunorth9243 It is meaningless. Everyone already knew Russia has the missiles. Sending a fake one doesn't accomplish anything except give trolls and fools something to create more make believe, of; "See! Putin's really going to do it! And the proof is he didn't do it." Throwing away a missile on a stunt is a laughable waste.
@@trunorth9243"look! Two launches and one actually didn't blow up in the process!" isn't really making me afraid, it's more of bad joke.

Are they shooting civilian targets again instead of military? Classic.
yes, classic US tactics, what's wrong with that?
Classic Israeli strats
Dnipro is actually a major staging area for Ukraine so it's technically a military target.
@@wingofshucivilians are always the majority of casualties in war. Not really an Israeli strategy more like something that just happens with every war since civilization started.
American style
It was an intermediate range ballistic missile that Russia launched versus an intercontinental ballistic missile that has a greater range. However, they both are capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
End the war already, we don't want humanity ended because of stupid politics
This is a very good sign! Russia is clearly getting desperate if they are wasting 0.3% of their ICBM arsenal just to send a message.
