Ukraine's air force says Russia fired ICBM
Ukraine fired Western weapons into Russia this week


Tensions rising in 33-month-old war
KYIV, Nov 21 (Reuters) - Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile during an attack on Ukraine on Thursday, Kyiv's air force said, in the first known use in the war of a powerful weapon designed to deliver nuclear strikes thousands of kilometres away.

The launch was the latest sign of rapidly mounting 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 that, if confirmed, it would be the first military use of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) - strategic weapons designed to deliver nuclear warheads and are an important part of Russia's nuclear deterrent.
The Ukrainians did not specify what kind of warhead the missile had or what type of missile it was. There was no suggestion it was nuclear-armed.

Russia did not immediately comment on the Ukrainian air force statement. Asked by reporters about the air force statement, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters to contact the Russian military for comment.

Ukrainska Pravda, a Kyiv-based media outlet, cited anonymous sources saying the missile was an RS-26 Rubezh, a solid-fuelled intercontinental ballistic missile with a range of 5,800 km, according to the Arms Control Association.

The RS-26 was first successfully tested in 2012, and is estimated to be 12 metres (40 ft) long and weigh 36 tons, according to the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). It said the RS-26 can carry an 800-kg (1,765-pound)nuclear warhead.

In particular, an intercontinental ballistic missile was launched from the Astrakhan region of the Russian Federation," it said.
Astrakhan is more than 700 km (435 miles) from the Ukrainian city of Dnipro.
'
TOTALLY UNPRECEDENTED'

Defense Express, a Ukrainian defence consultancy, asked whether the United States, Kyiv's main international ally, had been informed about the missile launch ahead of time.

"It is also a question of whether the United States was warned about the launch and its direction, as the announcement of such launches is a prerequisite for preventing the triggering of a missile warning system and the launch of missiles in response," Defence Express wrote.

Hm, RUSSIA IS WARNING UKRAINE AND THE WEST BUT EVERYONE THINK THAT PUTIN IS BLUFFING.......

ONE THING THE WEST DOES NOT UNDERSTAND IS THAT THEY ARE THREATENING RUSSIA SECURITY....... IF AMERICA THINK THAT THEY ARE IMMUNE FROM NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST, THEY SHOULD KEEP PLAYING WITH FIRE AND THEY WILL SOON FIND OUT.

THROUGHOUT THIS WAR, PUTIN CLEARLY STATES ONLY 2 RUSSIA RED LINES, THEY ARE;

1. IN JANUARY 2O22, PUTIN SAYS THAT UKRAINE MUST NO JOIN NATO ELSE THERE WILL BE WAR.... UKRAINE WAS DRAFTED TO JOIN NATO AND RUSSIA INVADE UKRAINE.

2. IN 2024, PUTIN SAYS THAT IF UKRAINE ATTACK RUSSIA WITH WESTERN SUPPLIED LONG RANG MISSILES, RUSSIA WILL VIEW IT AS NATO ATTACKING RUSSIA IN COLLABORATION WITH UKRAINE AND ALL OPTIONS ARE ON THE TABLE INCLUDING NUCLEAR WEAPONS....... WELL THROUGHOUT YESTERDAY AMERICA/BRITISH AND UKRAINE HAVE ATTACK RUSSIA WITH WESTERN LONG RANGE MISSILE AND TODAY RUSSIA HAS STARTED USING ICBM WITH CONVENTIONAL WAR HEAD AS WARN, BUT TOMORROW IT MIGHT BE NUCLEAR WAR HEAD.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

THE WEST DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE DEALING WITH. THEY ALL THINK THAT THEY CAN SURVIVE NUCLEAR WAR, THIS IS WRONG.


RUSSIA OWES THE WORLD A DEMONSTRATION OF WHAT NUCLEAR WEAPONS CAN DO BY CARRYING OUT A SURFACE TESTING OF THE BIGGEST NUKES ON THEIR TEST SITE FOR THE WORLD TO SEE, MAYBE IT WILL INSTILL FEAR IN HUMANITY ONCE AGAIN.

It's rather ironic that the ICC issues arrest warrant on Israeli PM whose country is fighting for survival while Putin who invaded Ukraine is walking free.

Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) are used to carry nuclear weapons. Looks like Russia is testing its arsenal.

Those of you saying Russia is fighting with shovels and washing machine chips will soon find out what shovels and washing machine chips can do.

There can't be truth in the world when those who call themselves the world's police are thieves.

How many arrest warrants did the ICC issue to Obama for bombing Libya or George Bush for lying that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and then using that as a pretext to bomb and invade Iraq?

None. The US caused wars and large scale destruction and got away with it. But for some reason, it is Russia that is protecting itself from having NATO right at its borders that is suddenly your concern.

There is something inside Russian military that the US wants to see but the Russians are not willing to let it out.

It's not video game matter. Russia won't go down without causing serious harm. It's like saying one of those Caribbean countries attack USA with dangerous weapons. US will just finish them, same with Russia too.
