Russia allegedly fired ICBM towards Ukraine

[theshadowknows]

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.

MIRV settles it then. I feel like the US is the only one that abides by it's own nuclear treaties. I don't even think we use MIRV's anymore. I think some of the land based missiles we have are capable still, but not armed with anything other than one warhead. We haven't really designed anything new in some time. Whereas it seems like Russia spends much of its limited defense budget on nuclear weapon development.
