Not quite an intercontinental ballistic missile, which we all heard about (ICBM) - that is an overstatement from Kiev. More like a intermediate-range ballistic missile. It certainly has a ballistic element to it, in that this word describes the trajectory. However, that description does not describe the launching in mid-flight of six subsidiary missiles, that in turn launch six guided missiles each. So 36 fully guided, 'swarm' missiles, coming in at Mach 10 or more.
That's what they used. They can put the same things on ICBMs as well with little to no changes. The MIRV setup allows Multiple missiles on top of the IRBM or ICBM.

The Hazel gives a new meaning to Deez Nuts.
And there are more variants already being made.
"...once mounted on intercontinental boosters.."
I think this was the point in regards to ICBM.
so something like an intermediate range MIRV?

Yeah, but it is sort, kinda, like a double-instance-MIRV.
