If anything at all, it would be some rebels on a boat trying to start WWIII.
"...Russias Defense Ministry said Tuesday citing its ballistic missile early warning system."
FYI, Russians are often misconstrued in translation, the system tracks all objects and airfoil objects can be mislabeled.
Here is the reason you are probably correct: The launch was detected at 10:16 Moscow time (06:16 GMT) by a radar in the southern Russian city of Armavir,...
That's far enough to require some altitude to be detected,...unless the detection was remote by a Russian T-50 (or earlier) AWACS.
“If anything at all, it would be some rebels on a boat trying to start WWIII.”
When is the last time anyone saw McCain? :)
