Thanks to Biden's endless escalations and brinsmanship, the HQ for PA Pivdenmash, Ukraine's top rocket manufacturer, based in Dnipro, Ukraine, just got MIRV'ed the fuck out by Russia,

Excuse the stupid pajeet source, but American sources, as always, are reporting garbage like "Russia refuses to deny it was them" or "Putin is terrified!" (ABC news)
https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/russias-firing-of-icbm-on-ukraine-is-weapons-1st-combat-use-in-history-7072318
Russia's Firing Of ICBM On Ukraine Is Weapon's 1st Combat Use In History
The missile was launched from the Astrakhan region of Russia, over 1,000 km away from the damage site in Ukraine.

New Delhi:
Russia reportedly launched an inter-continental ballistic missile (ICBM) on Ukraine, marking the first combat use of the weapon since its inception almost six decades ago. Moreover, Moscow used the Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicles (MIRV) technology to target "critical infrastructure" in Ukraine's Dnipro, the first-ever use of the technology too.

ICBMs have a range of over 5,500 kilometres and are built to carry nuclear, chemical and biological warheads. It can also carry a conventional warhead, which Russia reportedly used on the RS-26 Rubezh, ballistic missile. The missile was launched from the Astrakhan region of Russia, over 1,000 km away from the damage site in Ukraine.

Videos have surfaced on social media and Telegram handles, where at least warheads re-entering and targeting infrastructure in Ukraine. Russia has "denied to comment" on the launch of ICBMs though Kyiv has confirmed its use.

The launch comes just a day after Putin signed off on changes to the nuclear doctrine. The changes in the doctrine say that an attack from a non-nuclear state backed by a nuclear state will be viewed by Russia as a joint attack on it. Recently, the US has allowed Ukraine to use long-range ATACMS missiles to strike deep into Russia.

ICBM And The MIRV Tech

Rubezh is a solid-fueled ICBM equipped with MIRV technology. It was developed in 2011 and was successfully tested for the first time in 2012, hitting a target 5,800 km away from the launch site.

Solid-fuel missiles do not need to be fuelled immediately after launch and are often easier to operate. It's a mixture of fuel and an oxidizer that are bound together by a hard rubbery material and packed in a metal casing.

When solid-propellant in RS-26 burns, the oxygen from the fuel element generates enormous energy, creating thrust and helping in lif-off.

A ballistic missile follows a parabolic trajectory with a boost, mid-course and terminal stage. The highest point where the missile reaches is called apogee and for ICBMs, it is over 4,000 km. During atmospheric re-entry or terminal stage, kinetic energy coupled with the missile's speed reaches over Mach 10, making interception of the missile difficult.

ICBMs with MIRV technology, allow multiple targets located at different locations to be engaged from the same missile with several warheads. These warheads could be nuclear or non-nuclear.

These bombs can target locations that are several hundred kilometres apart with the help of the technology and some MIRVed missiles can even hit targets separated by a distance of 1,500 kilometres.

In Dnipro, at least six bombs or warheads were dropped over the region and anti-ballistic missiles (ABM) have to engage with such weapons separately. Therefore, the ABM systems seek to destroy the missile before the separation of the warhead stage.

The US was the first country to develop MIRV technology, deploying a MIRVed Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) in 1970 and a MIRVed Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) in 1971. The Soviet Union quickly followed suit and by the end of the 1970s had developed their MIRV-enabled ICBM and SLBM technology.

If Russia was confident with their nukes, then they would've tested a real one while pretending it was just a conventional warhead. I think it's safe to say it's time to glass Russia now, knowing they're not confident in their own nukes.

A fictional AI is superior to Putin the subhuman retard. But then, not even an AI would have thought of annexing Crimea, least of all invading Ukraine. Because an AI isn't retarded. Just ask this one, Vlad:

Ukraine is losing. Everyone is aware.

>>1363606
Wasn't Ukraine the one winning? What happened?
>>
>>1363606
It wasn't an ICBM lol. It was a ICRM, same kind of shit US used in shit like Desert Storm. Not even Russia is claiming it's an ICBM.
>>
>>1363633
Except we now know we can glass Russia without consequence, so now there's no reason not to.
>>

>Fires nuclear capable missile without actual nuclear payload
>Now every nuclear country is pointing the payloads at you because the next time you launch one of these they have to assume it could be coming at them

Good fucking job vladimir, you successfully just ensured you can't use this system again without getting blown to pieces.
>>
>>1363641
You are right. Apparently it wasn't a Rubezh. It was a new IRBM called Oreshnik.

Not only that, but they were all duds. Not a single one of them worked. Doubt they could maintain their nuclear payloads if they can't even maintain their conventional payloads.

>"STOP ESCALATING!"
Escalation is on the attacker and other countries are free to do whatever the fuck they want in their own territory. I guess you can't be bothered to post believable bullshit when you're making a third of an American teenager's wage because your mob run country let an old man throw a hissy fit.

Hi China shill. How's Xi's rations taste this month
>>
>>1363650
No ones saying they tried to nuke ukraine. Just that what they put in the missiles they did send sucked ass and destroyed nothing.
>>
>>1363654
Yes anon. They sent inert warheads on purpose. Unless if you think they were "duds" and there is a bunch of radioactive material spread out there.
>>
>>1363655
the warheads had leaflets with tRumps pic on them saying, hello suckers and losers!!

The reason not to is that Russia is a good country with good people who should rule us

Man the less the ruble is worth the less these shills try.

Trump said he was going to end this war in 1 day, so none of this matters.

He will definitely end it quicker than Biden has been able to manage to do, no doubt about that

This is why people win elections, you are mentally ill and everyone knows it, Ivan.

Wow that's cool. Did you work for the Hillary campaign doing messaging for her in 2016?
>>
>>1363655
They sent conventional payloads which could've easily blew shit up. No reason not to when the cost of them relative to the ICBM is practically nothing. They targetted something important, so they would've absolutely tried the opportunity to blow it up as a bonus for their ICBM test.
>>
>>1363698
>They sent conventional payloads which could've easily blew shit up
Any source on this besides your head?
According to journalism, the warheads were inert to comply with missile testing agreements. https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-says-russia-first-country-use-icbm-war-west-unsure-2024-11
Lol which is funny actually. They tested their missile, adhering to international agreements of having Inert payloads, by dropping it on a Ukrainian weapons factory lmao
>>
>>1363699
>by dropping it on a Ukrainian weapons factory lmao
and fucking missing lmao.
>>
>>1363699
that's a great joke anon, keep telling us russians aren't war criminals, and while you're at it keep pretending you aren't a flat out shill
>>
>>1363700
They destroyed portions of Pivdenmash HQ
>>1363702
Never said that. I just love making you Ukraine NPC types lie though your teeth as you overdose on cope.

It is pretty funny tho. Russia called the US 30 minutes before they MIRVed Ukraines rocket manufacturing plant and told them they'd be testing an ICBM. Idk if they told the US they'd be testing on a Ukrainian target tho
>>
>>1363704
>They destroyed portions of Pivdenmash HQ
>"no reports of casualties or significant damage"

Sure anon.
>>
>>1363705
Are you basing that opinion on something Zelensky said or the photos of the bombed out buildings attached to most of these articles?
>>
>>1363697
Wow, that's cool. Did you work for Putin's election influencing campaign in 2016, Ivan?
>Johnson supported Ukraine
>Trump called rightist Johnson a 'Teriffic Guy'
So Trump can do nothing wrong?
>>
>>1363708
Oh man lame. You can't even have a unique thought of your own. Do they not pay you enough to care?
>>
>>1363708
>Muh trump
what??
>>
>>1363708
This NAFO propaganda sure is going to be funny when the US gets nuked.

Do you think the American public is going to be pro-democrat or anti-democrat when figuring out who is responsible for this mess?
>>
>>1363709
>Trump liked a conservative who supported Ukraine
>being a Putin-simp
Lame
>>1363710

If you think any meaningful production or development is going on in the small civilian ass building like the ones the pics are of, you're dumber than your handler anon.
