Ukraine

you say "test" I hear "stock problems"

Silly Russians don't even know what continents are lol.

What Russia wants us to think:

"O no, allowing Ukraine to fire atacms into Russia was to much escalation! We must back down!"

What we actually think:

"Russia ran out of missiles and has to reach deep down its soviet arsenal to fire the last thing it's got. Next, they'll fire an R7"

Russia declares US missile base in Poland a target

uh... that would get all of NATO involved, wouldn't it?

Well, I'm sure the US military complex is excited to test whether they can swat these out of the sky with their expensive toys. Now they have a chance to try.

And the more Russia launches, surely that technology will improve

ruzzia is running out of everything and using its last reserves.

EU and NATO need to pool together every resource to bankrupt this rotten state and drive it from Ukrainian soil. The defeat has to be so harsh that the ruzzkis won't be able to cross any border forever. Confine them to their own country, period.

Well I guess we should be giving Ukraine some ICBM's next. Or would that not be fair? :')

So this is confirmation then that the storm shadow strike hit someone important?

How do we know this is the first and not just the first successful launch?

Seems like a bit of a waste to launch an intercontinental missile at a country next door, on the same continent. Isn't Russia supposed to have plenty of short and mid range ballistic missiles? I guess they must be running low.

I was under the impression that ICBMs weren't all that great for conventional warheads. Their payload capacity isn't enormous and their accuracy tends to be relatively low- which matters not a jot if you're firing nukes (which do a lot of bang per kilo, and where a few hundred metres either way isn't likely to be critical), but not so great for dropping normal munitions.
