I'm not sure if Putin wants to send the first nuke. History would not like him very much if he did, even if it was a little one. And then if Ukraine was his, he would of totally ruined the "breadbasket of Europe" for farming use. He could send a chemical on that ICBM and that would really tick NATO off and start it up.
What he did sounds like *** for tat to me.
Yes i agree...i think this was a show that their ICBM do work and they can use them and will...plus it was a test for them to practice a bit as well.

We flew two different types of long range items into russia...attacms and storm shadow.....so they showed a true long range at work.
 
Update(1057ET): Ukraine's earlier claim that its territory had been struck by an intercontinental ballistic missile fired by Russia is being hotly disputed, hours after widespread reports first appeared. US officials are saying it appears to be a new intermediate-range ballistic missile and not an ICBM which targeted the central city of Dnipro

The NY Times has reported in follow-up of the attack that "several Western officials said that the weapon was not an ICBM and instead was likely an intermediate-range missile that flies shorter distances."

Zelensky himself had claimed Russia used a new class of missile. "All the parameters — speed, altitude — match those of an intercontinental ballistic missile," he said. "All expert evaluations are underway." But US defense officials are contradicting this:

A senior U.S. official said the weapon appeared to be an intermediate-range ballistic missile, adding, "But it is a new type we have been tracking."
US officials have also called it an "experimental" missile. There's also been some quibbling among experts are how to characterize the projectiles which were observed hitting Ukraine at incredibly high rates of speed, in terms of rocket size and distance.

Assuming Washington is correct, and that it wasn't an ICBM, this suggests Zelensky's hasty verdict is all about threat inflation coming at a time he's desperately trying to get the West's attention, arguing in favor of greater NATO military intervention against Russia.

People tend to underestimate Russian technology. It's every bit as good as ours.

Weeeell.. Even if that's Debatable (certainly for Some Tech / Weapons systems it Is..) ..It's Still Wise to prepare / proceed as though That's 100% True, and across the board. It would be Foolish to assume Otherwise..

I saw a Youtube video about a top of the line Russian fighter that crashed. Not only did it fail but it showed it used components from the US.

Russia is going to start WWIII if someone doesn't take out their leadership. There are a half dozen mad men holding 8 BILLION of us hostage. How much longer will the People of Earth tolerate this? You'd think their wives would slit their throats while they were sleeping.
