Russia allegedly fired ICBM towards Ukraine

[Zaphod58]

Question is whether or not the particular bomb used typically carries a nuclear payload. If so, then it's definitely a significant escalation. A mock execution...of the world really. Incredibly scary times. I've already kinda wrapped my head around seeing nuclear war soon. Looking into a kennel system to make sure our animals are easy to move and transport at a moments notice.

It’s nuclear capable, like many IRBM/MRBM are. It’s big differentiating feature is the fact that it is MIRV equipped. Most missiles in that class only have a single warhead. It’s fairly new, so this would be one of the few they have available to them.
