Ukraine said Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile during an attack on the country following Kyiv’s strikes with western-made weapons inside Russian territory.
It appears to be the first reported use of the missile, designed to hit targets thousands kilometers away, since the beginning of the war.
Russian officials had yet to comment on the alleged missile launch, which came as part of a larger barrage Thursday morning targeting the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro.

seems like a thing to say when the country funding your war effort is about to have a president who says theyll end the war. better get to escalating now before the tap runs dry

My question is what makes this particular type of missile such a big deal?
ClickF0rDick on
Probably stupid question, but…I read that these kinds of missiles are used to attack with nuclear warheads. How do we know if this specific missile has one attached or not?

For some reason this feels like a huge escalation. Firing ICBMs with conventional warheads is playing with nuclear fire. Threatening nukes is one thing. Firing ICBMs that could accidentally trigger a nuclear response is crossing a line.

Does Russia fire Iran and NK supplied missiles… ok then nothing for Russia to bitch about.

Did they run out of normal missiles?

Don’t care, escalate the hell out of Ukraine.

I really hope we get a heads up before our faces are melted off over this bullshit. I am for sure not going into work that day.

“The country that shoots a couple of thousand rockets every day for 1000 days straight shot another rocket everybody panic!”
No. I won’t panic. I won’t even consider this news.
I don’t give a flying fuck and I encourage the news to stop their sensationalism.
Yes yes, I know, to the surprise of everyone, Russia found one Rocket that isn’t capable of transporting nukes but can reach USA that could still fly.
Fucking shocker.
Did you people forget Russia was considered the second strongest army in the world a couple of years back? Before we know thanks to Ukraine that 90% of Russia’s capabilities were blantant lies?
Yes, they managed to save face because one rust ridden rocket wasn’t a dud.
Now chill. Russia still needs to be defeated at all costs.
Yes, even if they hit my personal home while I’m in it.

Good! The more working ICBMs they waste – the better! Fuck ruZZia!

It’s only an escalation if Ukraine retaliates against Russia’s not escalation!

Am stupid for thinking this an off ramp instead of an escalation ?

I’m waiting for the deafening chorus of voices condemning Russia for such a reckless act and further escalating the war of conquest that they started.
Of course, when the West provides Ukraine with the weapons it needs to defend itself, so many voices scream themselves hoarse excoriating them for escalating the war and unnecessarily drawing it out. They love to tell us that lives could be saved by ending the war (i.e. capitulation), so helping Russia win is somehow the moral thing to do.

Didn’t ukraine just fired long range missiles into russia 2 days ago?
When do they want to start to talk about peace?

What made Biden think this was a good idea? Does he think Putin would have surrendered?

will we be seeing Ww3 commencing?

Update:
Not an ICBM, but a new type of weapon that is very similar. This is from US intelligence and the president of Ukraine.

How anyone can even consider linking posts that are paywalled is beyond me. Smh

Hopefully someone will condemn it. That will surely get them to stop.

We aren’t far off from a nuclear payload being dropped at this point.

It’s a misunderstanding. The I in their ICBM is actually a lowercase L and the acronym actually stands for *low Cost* Ballistic Missle. Expect to see a bunch more because they bought in bulk from Temu for the free shipping.

I feel like America and Ukraine escalated first on this one
