We saw some military history made today...

[sirhrmechanic]

With Russia's launching of an actual ICBM 'in anger' we saw some military history made today!

Conventional warheads... But I don't believe that an ICBM has been used in any conflict since their invention...

Ukraine is denying it hit anything... Putin says it did.

Bet the folks at Cheyenne Mountain were having a bit of a nervous moment until they got trajectory data.

Also bet we got a lot of interesting data from that launch and MIRV re-entry!

Putin just sent a very strong message. And did it with a little tiny bang.

Globalists and commies are really doing their best to start WWIII!!!! They don't want Trump back and are prepared to destroy Western Civilization to prevent it...

On looking at some more articles... may have been a MRBM.. but still with MIRV's...

Interesting....

Well, Ukraine sent UK and US theater ballistic missiles into Russia. WTF does anyone expect??

Putin is not the one escalating this...

Pentagon said Russia notified US ahead of time. Probably didn’t want them to think nukes were airborne

 

[BLEE]

Covid didn't work, so WWIII is the next card to be played, to bring the world to its knees, so we can have Emperor Soros and his minions lording over us peasants.

 

[akmike47]

Technically it was a intermediate range ballistic missile from what I’m seeing

 

[wvfarrier]

I believe it was an intermediate missile. Still nasty business

Putin is pre-stacking the deck before Trump is inaugurated.

In Russia, you can’t afford to be dictated to by other world leaders, especially the US. If the Russian people see Putin as the little weakling that he is, it’s over for him.

They really believe they are the biggest and the best, and all their Russia One media repeats this nonsense for them daily to reinforce the idea.

After all, Trump is the only US President who sent weapons to Ukraine pre-Feb 2022, and did it right after the Battle of Khasham in Feb 2018, where he authorized US forces to repeatedly curb-check Putin’s Wagner fags.

They assembled a mech battle group with 2 battalions of armor, engineering & artillery support, and attacked a tiny contingent of US SOF elements over the Euphrates. Of course the US had ISR assets monitoring any movements in theater, and attempted to de-conflict with the drunken Mongo-slavs, who insisted they had nobody there.

No problem, we’ll let it work itself out with JDAMs, SDBs, Hellfires, M777, and other PGMs for 4-6hrs until we’re sure of it.

Oh, by the way, we’ll bless off on Ukraine buying hundreds of millions worth of Javelins and CLUs as of March 1, 2018 while we’re at it, just so little man Putin gets the message.

You start to understand why Putin didn’t mess around with Trump when it came to Ukraine or Syria after that, and Trump didn’t even want us in Syria.

Who pulls Biden’s strings? He’s been on Soviet payroll since 1972 when they literally financed his entrance into the Senate our of nowhere. The Bureau didn’t have James Biden under investigation all those years for tax evasion. It was the Biden family receiving bribes from Russia and China, laundered through shell companies. Hunter was kinda late to the game in the grand scheme, and that was 10 years ago when he started taking payments from Elena Baturina (billionaire oligarch sex-trafficker who has to pay boyar % to Putin).

The RS-26 is typically an ICBM.

In the intermediate (theater) range mode it carries more weight (it doesn't need as much fuel).

Very rarely disagree but Putin escalated from the start, pretty simplistic view I know. Don’t be deceived by “proportional response crap” , win or don’t fight.

 

[Franko]

All doubts of Russia's ability to deliver the canned sunlight have just been put to rest. I'd like to think it was a wake up call to the warmongers in the MIC to get this madness in the Ukraine back under control but I am doubtful that common sense can triumph over insane greed.

Something something Ukrainian cluster munitions used on ethnic Russian civilian areas in 2014….

Agree Putin started it…. And his “reasons” were all bullshit. Well, mostly. But the main reason we are involved is to protect a massive money laundering operation that dates back years…

And giving the “OK’ to Ukraine to use weapons we should not have shared in the first place to strike deep inside Russia… is not a sound strategy. It is especially stupid when you are transitioning governments.

But ‘they’ need to protect their money pipeline as long as possible. And if they can hand a bigger messs off, it gives the globalists another thing to say “see, Trump didn’t end the war, it got worse after he was elected.”

The one bright side is we probably gathered massive intelligence on the Russian tech. The other bright side of the whole Proxy war is that with something like 5 percent of our defense budget, we have degraded the Russian military and economy massively. With little damage to ourselves and the West. So fighting to the last Ukranian has its pluses!

Plus, Ukraine women are hot and with all the young fit military-age Uke males now dead or fucked up, hot Ukranian mail order brides will be cheap!! So there is that.

But your point is taken and it’s a fair one!!

Don't forget all the biolabs doing bio warfare stuff on Russia's border

Meta-biota. With Hunter Biden having part ownership. Didn't Nuland say there were like 26 labs with biohazards in Ukraine they were worried Russia take over?

To a point.

Clinton promised the Ukrainians the US would come to their aid if they gave up the nukes and cut up the Bear bombers the Russians left behind when the wall fell. Unlike Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Poland, Georgia and Ukraine didn't join NATO before the music stopped and there were no more chairs.

Of course NATO expanded when Russia was down and couldn't do anything about it. Most of the new nations had been occupied by either the Nazis or Russians -- or both.

Nobody was worried about China.

Sweden and Finland played the neutrality game until Vlad invaded Ukraine. Less than two years later, both are NATO countries (even with Turkey protesting).

When I went to middle and high school the library on post carried all the major military magazines and journals to include "NATO's Fifteen Nations." It's now up to 32.

the info,opinions,docs,beliefs,predictions and wishes about the fighting over there 2014 & 2022 are all over the place. actually to the point of who the fuck knows? i would put US neocon actions in the historical context of our history of deciding on an enemy,manufacturing their threat to us and goad them into a war. german 1917,germany & japan 1941,iraq 2003,now by proxy ukraine 2022. that's not working out too well and has an existential danger not present since cuba in'62. cold war was controlled after cuba. grenada,kuwait,korea were not on us. panama,vietnam +/-. vietnam was criminally mishandled and should really never happened or have lasted 10 years if we did get directly involved. it started out as a proxy deal and you see where that got us. as often previously our "allies" are dragging us into a mess. this one has life ending potential and needs to stop. the only thing we are accomplishing is blackrock's profit,mic profit,our own bankruptcy,millions dead over there for nothing necessary and obiden extra profitable corruption.

Random side note. I remember when I was in Afghan chatting with a Georgian colonel (I swear I never saw that bloke sober) about their push to get a spot on NATO and seeing them just feed their blokes into the meat grinder just trying to get a seat. Looks like they’re still treading water

That missile launch definitely got people’s attention, and it’s a big deal in terms of military history, even if it wasn’t a full-on strike. I can only imagine the data we got from it—both the trajectory and the MIRV re-entry must’ve been closely analyzed. As for the WWIII talk, it’s easy to get caught up in the moment, but it’s probably more complicated than just one missile launch. Global tensions have been high for a while, and this just adds to the mix. It’s definitely something to watch closely, though.

I wonder how much truth there's to this.

The theater-range version of the RS-26 was banned in the intermediate missile treaty between the US and the Soviet Union. They were to dismantle theirs and we withdrew Pershing II from Germany. No surprise they lied.

Each theater-range RS-26 can carry six re-entry vehicles with four warheads each. The Russians stated they were conventional explosive warheads.

At Mach 4 to Mach 10 they could have been plain concrete. That much kinetic energy hitting a structure would have still had a considerable destruction-damage circle.
