KYIV, Nov 21 (Reuters) - Russia fired an intercontinental ballistic missile during an attack on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Thursday, Kyiv's air force said, in what would be the first use in war of a weapon designed to deliver long-distance nuclear strikes.
The launch, if confirmed, highlights rapidly rising tensions in the 33-month-old war after Ukraine fired U.S. and British missiles at targets inside Russia this week despite warnings by Moscow that it would see such action as a major escalation.
Security experts said it would be the first military use of an intercontinental ballistic missile. ICBMs are strategic weapons designed to deliver nuclear warheads and are an important part of Russia's nuclear deterrent.
"Today there was a new Russian missile. All the characteristics – speed, altitude – are (of an) intercontinental ballistic (missile). An expert (investigation) is currently underway," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in a video statement.
Wondering the accuracy of it. They can assume what the intended target was.....Either way I bet Bolton creamed his jeans.
That's a fairly old ICBM.....Looks almost kinetic with no explosive warheads.....Putin flexing in a "fuck around and find out" type of way is my guess.
Biden can't leave quick enough, but the way they are going I don't think they care if Kiev glows.
