As we stare into the future of the war in Ukraine, we now have daily escalations from both sides, each scarier than the next.
On Thursday, Russia fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) with multiple non-nuclear re-entry warheads on the city of Dnepropetrovsk, in Ukraine.
This comes after Joe Biden approved the use of long-range US-made missiles to be fired by Ukraine into Russia – which they did earlier this week.
This strike marks the first time that an ICBM has been used in the history of human conflict.
It is believed that six RS-26 missile strikes completely destroyed the Yuzhmash defense plant, where the damaged American Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and German Leopard tanks were being repaired.
At the same time of the main attack, Kinzhal missiles hit the local Patriot air defense system battery.
Express reported:
“Shocking footage has emerged showing what is believed to be the first use of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in warfare by Russia.
Missiles were reportedly fired from Kapustin Yar test range in the Astrakhan region, hitting the Yuzhmash defense plant in Dnipro.”
Watch: ICBM strike in Yuzhmash defense plant.

Yuzhmash
Sounds like the Orc king from ESO.
Zeepers and Paid Neocon trolls: its all fake! It just shows how weak Russia is! He’s on the verge of death! You’re a Putin-puffer!
Seeing a bunch of that. Delusional nuts abound.
End this nonsense. If you support this war sell all you have, move to the Ukraine, take up arms, and go for it.
Next Russian ICBM target: the Storm Shadow factory?
ICBMs are designed to travel 6000 miles. What did this travel? 600? Sounds like a modern version of a SCUD, albeit with MIRV capability. And Hussein lobbed plenty of those in the Gulf War and before that in the war with Khomeini. The reaction by Zman is likely another effort at getting the West directly involved. I think Trump and the GOP should demand Biden appear before the nation and announce what US policy is and will be and take questions. If he doesnt do that Trump should demand that we be told who EXACTLY is running the foreign and military policy of the United States.
First we have not given the Ukraine long range missiles. That’s an outright media lie. The ATACMS missiles we gave them have a range of 190 miles. That’s a short range missile.
Next reports are coming out that an ICBM missile was not used in the most recent attack on the Ukraine. Lets see how that pans out.
Looking more and more like this was an intermediate range missile salvo...but ICBM sounds so menacing.
There was a treaty between Reagan and Gorbachev that banned IRBMs. This Russia’s use of ICBMs to do the conventional strike.
That treaty is now defunct.
“Looking more and more like this was an intermediate range missile salvo...but ICBM sounds so menacing.”
If one happened to have a nuclear payload would it matter? Either would still set off MAD.
Let’s assume one did. Is your implication that the United States should nuke Russia if Russia nukes Kiev?
Don’t be a Nervous Nellie. In the dementia patient we trust.
“Is your implication that the United States >should< nuke Russia if Russia nukes Kiev?”
Of course not. But I am sensible and logical, our government absolutely is NOT and will just retaliate in the limited time they think they have to do it. And in turn so will Russia and China leading to MAD. Once that happy trigger is pulled it’s all over...
PUTIN: WE USED MID-RANGE, NOT INTERCONTINENTAL WEAPONS
“Russian forces have carried out a combined strike on one of the military industrial facilities in Ukraine.
And this included the test of a novel, intermediate range, a Russian missile system.
The objectives of the launch have been met.”

Folks....PRAY, PRAY HARD that this doesn’t go nuclear.
