Russia’s Missile Strike on Ukraine: ICBM Claim Disputed
During a November 21st attack on Dnipro, Russia used the RS-26 Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) for the first time, alongside Kh-47M2 Kinzhal and Kh-101 missiles. The Rubezh, capable of carrying nuclear warheads, was launched from Astrakhan Oblast. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted six Kh-101 missiles, with no significant damage reported from the remaining strikes. This ICBM launch marks a significant escalation, violating past treaties and defying previous claims regarding its development status.
