Had to read the comments to find that this is a nuclear-capable ICBM, not a nuclear one.
Same difference right? Right?
Also for context:
The Russians are flying hypersonic missiles daily - not only that, they can alter he missile's course at will, and provide AI recognition towards the end, so that the missile recognises the target - we even get video. A smart, fast wiggle-worm with eyes. The West has no AD against doodley hypersonic missiles, but their AD can be confused with lots of look-mummy-there-are-lawn-mowers-in-the-sky, let's shoot them down with a whole billion-dollar Patriot battery. I have yet to see proof that any Patriot took out one of those hypersonics. I doubt Patriot radars can even see them (they streak to the naked eye), let alone differentiate between objects in the sky (which they don't). The radars do let off a signature for the AI to see, though. With spectacular results.
Also: The Russians did not start actively using hypersonic missiles in battle, until they had their own AD in order. So, even if USA tested 'a' hypersonic ICBM (proof: they are 'testing' one on election day), the Russian AD would shoot it out of the sky if it even approached. Sure as eggs, they will be tracking it for information.
Think the Russian SARMAT. It can reach mainland USA in 30 minutes. It has 10-16 warheads (depending on size) that can be aimed individually at any city in USA at once. America has nothing like it. This is why Colonial Douglas MacGregor- (who advised 45) fears rogue Generals in the Pentagon and trigger happy Biden/Harris politicians that are itching for war. Putin is not bluffing. If you listen to the video of the leader of the Akhmat Special Forces within the Russian Military, their Faith is strong and if they die, they go home to God Almighty and Jesus Christ. This is the main reason why it’s imperative that 45 is elected. President Putin was tricked by the West during the Minsk Accords
From 2014/2015 1,600 Russian speaking civilians living in the Donbas were murdered by the Ukraine Military. The first videos coming out of Ukraine at the start of the SMO (Feb ‘22) is actually footage of bombed out Russian speaking civilian apartments. Lies presented as Kyiv being bombed. The interviews and footage of these people by Patrick Lancaster who lives in Russia and married to a Russian were devastating. The elderly and children suffered greatly. They were used as sniper practice. The virtually lived underground for 8 years. They begged Putin to save them but he trusted the West as he had signed along with the USA, Germany and France the Minsk Accords and thought they would honour this. It was a ruse. A ruse to build up their ammunition - (think Raytheon and other NGOs) They thought they could just walk in and destroy and divide up Russia which was the plan. Think of all those minerals they needed. Ukraine would be their base. This is why Putin went into Ukraine to demilitarise and denazify it. Those citizens in the Donbass after the referendum have been a given new home, pensions much higher than Ukraine afforded them, and much more. He does not trust the West, the UK, NATO or the EU. He means what he says. 27 million Russians died defeating the Nazis in WW2. He will never allow the Russian people to suffer again.
So, now we assume Biden has the football instead of all of those photos with it in Trump's entourage? If Trump is in control of our nukes, Putin won't use his. I also think that there is no benefit to Putin to getting into a skirmish that might start WWIII. I don't feel the same about the middle east conflict going on right now. Bunch of loose cannons over there. Backs against walls, unpredictable, etc.
If the US launches a nuclear missile into Russian territory, then it will be WW3. Putin is being very patient, but that changes in a nano second if Russian mainland is targeted. Notice how Zelensky is frantic asking the Pentagon could he please send a missile into Russia. The Pentagon has refused his request. They know. He has recently been pestering the UK for the same. Time will tell. It’s interesting to note that the submarine pens in Russia awhile back have been reported as empty. The subs have been reported in the North Pole. They have been designed to carry the Poseidon. Search what the Poseidon underwater drones are capable of. Putin wants peace. He puts God first and the Russian family, especially the Mother on a pedestal.
