Current Nuclear Weapons Development

[Dilandu]

Sigh. Western sources deny that any kind of ICBM launches took place. Seriously, guys, could you just stop this nonsence?

They said there would be repercussions for striking Russia proper with US weapons.

Never mind the fact that Russia has been repeatedly assaulting Ukraine with cruise and ballistic missile strikes along with drone strikes, then when running short of missiles turning to Iran and North Korea for more missiles. Yet somehow it's not okay for Ukraine to retaliate in kind against an aggressor?

It does not seem like an extreme response to my eyes. They are advertising they have a non nuclear way to strike the US back if they feel like it

It IS an extreme and disproportionate response using such a weapon and it shows Putins desperation.

I am hardly applying morality to the situation. From a realpolitik point of view it makes sense.

I have seen nothing yet confirming or denying the attack from either Russia or NATO, which leads me to believe the report is indeed false.

WDF are russians doing ?

Wtf are all of these madmen politicians doing? Tbf you can't possibly expect to corner a nuclear armed state forever, this "pushing boundaries" act can't go on for much longer if we're still living in a somewhat sane world.

And you can't launch an ICBM and expect your adversaries to not respond to that in the same manner. They will also soon start launching ICBMs with conventional warheads and this will make it harder for everyone to determine before impact whether a missile that's coming to them has a nuclear payload or not.

A step further and we're officially living in the "idiocracy movie universe"...

Why are we talking conventional ballistic missiles in nuclear weapons development?
