Pretty sure those are launches played in reverse, not impacts of incoming rockets.
I noticed the same thing....no explosions on impast.
Please don’t be a schizo.
They are clearly impacts, watch the fire. And I’ve seen this video with a timestamp elsewhere.
Dummy warheads, entirely kinetic.
My first thoughts as well. No boom boom.
He both fears and welcomes a Trumpian solution to the war.
This is positioning for negotiations.
Pavel Podvig, director of the Russian Nuclear Forces Project, stressed that this kind of a strike ‘might have a value as a signal’.He wrote in a thread on X that one must be ‘skeptical and cautious’ about the claims, adding: ‘Regarding the “intercontinental” claim, the distance from Kapustin Yar to Dnipro is about 800 km. It is not an intercontinental range.’
He added later: ‘Using these kinds of missiles, whether RS-26 or a true ICBM, in a conventional role does not make a lot of sense because of their relatively low accuracy and high cost. But this kind of a strike might have a value as a signal.’

Go watch the real thing.
I understand these missles have four harheads each. I counted six clusters of four.
More like six missles..
Watch the metro.uk video again. The car on the left is going the correct way.
It is not reversed.
Please stop making FR look bad.
Seems like a waste of a ICBM.
Or just using up old inventory.
MIRVs do not come in at the same time. They can be released independently.
good
Give it a rest. I make FR 'look bad' after watching 1000 days of propaganda spam bots run through here like they own the place. That's crazie man.
If it was an RS-26, here’s what ChatGPT has to say about that one:
The RS-26 Rubezh is a relatively modern Russian intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), so it would not be considered “old inventory.” It is designed as a part of Russia’s strategic nuclear deterrent and is seen as a successor or complement to older systems like the RS-24 Yars. The RS-26 Rubezh, which is based on the Yars platform, was first publicly unveiled in 2014 and is a solid-fuel missile intended to be more mobile and potentially more difficult to intercept than its predecessors.
The missile has been described as having a range of up to 4,000 kilometers, though its precise capabilities and deployment status are somewhat shrouded in secrecy, and much of the public information about it has been limited. It’s not widely deployed or in large numbers, so it might be considered a newer asset within Russia’s strategic forces rather than part of any “old inventory.”
In general, Russia has been modernizing its nuclear forces, and the RS-26 fits into that strategy, alongside other new systems like the Sarmat ICBM and new submarine-launched ballistic missiles. Therefore, while not the newest system in Russia’s arsenal, the RS-26 is still part of an active and modern inventory rather than being considered outdated or old stock.
Fourth word in the article — “allegedly.”
