Russia’s ICBM Failures Expose Nuclear Bluff
Russia’s recent failed missile test exposes deep flaws within its military-industrial complex, undermining its strategic deterrence and the credibility of its nuclear threats. This incident, following a previous devastating missile strike in November 2024, reveals vulnerabilities in even Russia’s most advanced weaponry. The failure casts doubt on the effectiveness of Russia’s intimidation tactics, which rely heavily on the perceived power of its arsenal. Consequently, the myth of Russian military invincibility is eroding as its actions increasingly contradict its boasts. This weakening of Russia’s perceived strength contrasts sharply with the strengthening defenses of Ukraine and its allies.
