Zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte der Menschheit wird eine Interkontinentalrakete in einem Krieg eingesetzt – und zwar von Russland. Ohne nennenswerten Erfolg.

Seemingly Ukraine must be located on another continent. Is Russian vodka too strong? Orcs, bastards!
Russia is in pure panic mode. They stake everything on that one card in january.
I’d love to see that house of cards crumble

We’ve reached level 11 of the how stupid is Russia part of the program
Comrade, we have created this new Intercontinental ballistic missile, we have spent many years and many billions of rubles perfecting its ability to travel thousands of miles to hit the enemy wherever they may be !
Ya comrade, but can it fly many many miles straight up into the air and then Land quite close to where it was fired from as I like to hear it kaboom on z enemy !
NORAD must be loving the Intel
As I said in the other thread, this wil likely l make some of the less honourable European leaders fearful, which is bad.
Ooh. So this was the “serious response” Russia promised?
Article says Kinzhal and cruise missiles, no ICBMs. Kinzhal is just air launched ballistic missile with 500 km range. Definitely not intercontinental. All missile types have been launched before.
TL; DR:
x1 ICBM (type not given)
x1 hypersonic missile (Kinzhal)
x7 cruise missiles (Kh-101)
The Ukrainian Air Force shot down all but 1 of the Kh-101s; the other 3 missiles got through. So far Ukraine reports that none of those that got through inflicted serious damage.
Nice shooting, Ukraine!
Ukraine’s air defenses have proven very effective against Russia’s “unstoppable” hypersonic missiles. So I am interested in them not shooting down the Kinzhal. Did they try and fail? Or did they plot its trajectory and decide to let it through? Or was this a limit of missile defense deployment?
Running out of guided missiles it would seem.
ICBM are big and very expensive things to produce
Hmm wonder if the russians are running out of the other types of missiles.
Using INTERCONTINENTAL missile to neighboring country is panic move caused by despair to take them seriously.
At this point Putin’s need to project more unnecessarily phallic symbols of his “power” are incentivizing new and more interesting ways to destroy the shambling wreck he self-titled the World’s “second military.”
He deserves the creation of a DMZ by Ukrainian military fires within Russian borders. Looks like that’s what’s coming.
Another message, we can only assume the Russians gave notice? If not the repercussions could have been huge!
They hit a rehabilitation centre.
russia: **wet fart noises**
maybe they ran out of other missiles :/
How is Biden going to respond? He is president now and I don’t want to hear how this is Trump’s fault, Biden is president and I genuinely think Biden won’t do much more than a lame speech . Russia doesn’t fear Biden
