...and more importantly, he never used it, never threatened with it and is only exposing it by being forced to show it. Left unprovoked, it would still be hidden away. This defines Putin in a different light. It will also define NATO.
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.
so something like an intermediate range MIRV?
