OK if it were an ICBM they would have to have an extra unassigned ICBM capable of intercontinental flight with a nuclear weapon!! -- to waste for a launch at a mere non-nuclear nearby state with a non-nuclear warhead? OK. My military mind does not grasp why they would to that . . . ?!?
Cold war doctrine, the ICBMs in their silos are programmed against pre-selected targets, to fire within seconds of the decision. The doctrine was/is the MAD Doctrine: Mutually Assured Destruction. MAD to assure it would NOT COULD NOT ever happen.
Would Russia or the US resort to MAD nuclear warfare over the Ukraine?? Mutually Assured Destruction: US and Russia. For the Ukraine?!?
Good points. And has anyone seen video evidence of the damage?
It's a show of force.
A lot of leftists in west have accused Russia of being a paper bear and for barking without bite. Last night they showed that they're not afraid to escalate this conflict if the situation requires it.
As for the how: most likely they produced a couple of these platforms and simply didn't use a payload.
Or they also have non-nuclear variants of these missile and have decided to start using it.
At the end of the day these are Russians. Just like Trump, they are very unpredictable.
Makes for a pretty awesome movie plot.
