Tactical advantage of using an RS-26 ICBM to strike you neighbor with conventional warheads? https://x.com/Osinttechnical/status/1859519312924471448
The shelling damaged the building of a rehabilitation center for the disabled. The boiler room was destroyed and windows were smashed. Later it became known that the Russian strike also caused damage to a garage cooperative. A fire broke out there. Nine garages were damaged. And two private houses were also damaged. A fire broke out in one of them and was extinguished. The fire was also extinguished at the second site.Preliminary, two people were injured. A 57-year-old man was treated on the spot. A 42-year-old woman was hospitalized,” added Lysak.
>we will nook but our nooks doesn't work
>command post with CSTO generals destroyed?>shell the disabled!
>>62900862Psychological message is the intent. Plus it's a chance to test out some new gear under actual battle conditions, operationally.
Interesting, explosions in Asstrahan, this is shithole they launched them from.https://x.com/Q0MT6pFmbVqynsM/status/1859501406505288021
>>62900878I’m really curious how close they got to target. The R-2 should have Russia’s best INS tech — assuming it’s not an off-the-shelf unit from the West (which are still very good).
I doubt a jury rigged Prompt Global Strikeski could hit a hospital for rehabilitating disabled orphans on purpose, but it's the most Russian of all possible targets for a conventional ICBM
>>62900890Hold up what. Did they somehow fuck up the launch? Did ukies counter-battery 1000 kms from Kiyv?!
>>62900906There were some Bobrs spotted around. So Ukraine had the intel of the launcher location.
doesn't look like an ICBM to me unless this footage is after the initial hit
>>62900890That’s super-interesting if real because Ukraine technically shouldn’t have anything that can reach out that far and it seems like its too close to the launch for a GUR Cessna to make it all the way over there while evading AD. It would be cool if there was a stealth plane loitering around waiting for the launch to send a counter-message “You’re not safe from us bro”?

>>62900917Among other explosions, the zegro AD finally hit something very slow.
>>62900862Scraping the bottom of the barrel for weapons.
>>62900913Russians probably told the US / NATO exactly what was being launched and where as to not trigger a nuke response. They know the US is watching their nuclear forces very closely.
>>62900920Aren't you mistakingly using a different city?
>>62900923lol that must be friendly fire, unless the GUR really did manage to get some drones in the area.
>>62900930Its what twitter said. Ahtubinks is town in Asstrahan oblast, probably.
>>62900916My guess is MIRVs/MaRVs with conventional payloads instead of nukes
>>62900950I wonder if it was a Satan II
>>62900913What am I looking at here?
>tacticalDepends where they shot it from. Russia's avoided using IRBM (among other reasons) because the ballistic flight path that everyone can track looks like an IRBM. It can only be an IRBM/ICBM. And that can potentially raise some serious alarmbells because then you're playing a game of "dude trust me" that it's a conventional payload, for instance.
>>62900906>Did ukies counter-battery 1000 kms from Kiyv?!Seems like it, yes.With slow as fuck drones that were mostly shot down by manpads I think, see: >>62900923
>>62900934>Ahtubinks is town in Asstrahan oblastHey, you keep astrayan oblast outa here, you cunt
>Okay, we've trolled the hohols and that's enough.>It wasn't "Rubezh".>But something new. ;)What did fighterbomber mean by this?
>>62901675Who cares what washed up retard on the bottle shits out?
>>62900890Did the R-26s do a Shahab-1 moment?
>conventional payloadWhat's the accuracy on these things anyway? Since you're using regular boom boom and not nuclear which doesn't require that much accuracy I would imagine that they didn't actually hit jack shit
>>62901850CEP somewhere between 50-200 meters is the non-classified wikipedia answer
>>62900862What's the difference between ICBMs and conventional missiles? Range and that's it?
