We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

This just in Russia has had missiles capable of reaching the US since the 1960s...

So. Maybe they forgot to admit the old missiles couldn’t….anymore.

That’s why this is a thing?

Will they have the misfire rate that their missles in Ukraine are having? Which depending on a source that isn't russian says 20-60%.

This isn't the type of weapon that you want to get out of the tube, 80% of the way to target and it go "Ooopsie! I forgot how to missle", then fall out of the sky. (Not that firing a nuke wouldn't be a bad time for everyone on the fucking planet in the first place)
