Moment top Kremlin official is ordered not to talk about ICBM strike on Ukraine
Daily Mail ^ | 11/21/2024 | James Reynolds

This is the moment a senior Kremlin official was urgently ordered not to comment on reports of an intercontinental ballistic missile strike on Ukraine this morning as she gave a press conference on the prospect of peace negotiations.

Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian foreign ministry, took a call in the middle of a press briefing today and was sternly advised by a senior diplomat not to discuss the unconfirmed reports.

'Hello. I am having a briefing,' she could be heard saying into the phone on footage shared from the conference.

'Masha,' an unknown male voice on the phone said, addressing Ms Zakharova. 'On the 'Yuzhmash' ballistic missile strike that the Westerners have started talking about, we are not commenting at all,' it said, referring to an aerospace manufacturer based in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro.

It came as Ukraine's armed forces reported today that Russia had launched an ICBM overnight targeting Dnipro city. If confirmed, it would be the first time Moscow has used such a missile in the war, ongoing since February 2022.

While the range would seem excessive for use against Ukraine, such missiles are designed to carry nuclear warheads, and the use of one would serve as a chilling reminder of Russia's nuclear capability and a powerful message of potential escalation.

A Ukrainian air force source told the AFP news agency this morning that the missile did not have a nuclear charge.

Did she have it on speaker? That would seem foolish but its the only way anyone NOT on the call could possibly know.

crazymarcus, this is why everything you post is deemed to be propaganda.

Multiple warheads
______________________
Now just consider if each of those warheads was nuclear? The message send is obvious.

That video looks like launches played backwards instead of incoming impacts.

Still waiting for confirmaton of North Korean soldiers fighting the combined NATO forces assembled in Kursk.

Funny that Ukraine can detect a missile launch so far away and track it... almost as if NATO is doing this for them, as in NATO being the USA in this instance.

All of the Ukraine conflict leads back to Joe Biden (Obama) and his administration.

That Miley and the Pentagon would disobey Trump on pulling out of Syria, but Lloyd Austin willing to obey orders escalating the conflict that he personally knows will result in some form of response.

The DNC Borg must be dismantled, and their RINO enablers dealth with in January.

Back in the 1950’s the question was, “Can the AEC [Atomic Energy Commission] make intercontinental ballistic missiles practical?” An ICBM without a nuclear warhead is impractical, not cost effective. The V-2 and Scud were terror weapons, of virtually no military utility.

Normally, parties will warn of the launch of a long range missile or of a payload into space. The unannounced (if it was unannounced) launch of an ICBM by the Russians would have raised the pucker factor at NORAD a couple of levels. The Russians are playing Russian roulette with ICBM, and the response may be a weapon with a round in all six chambers.
