[CONSOLIDATED][Russia Edition] General discussion on Ukraine/Russia war

[coutuser]

This is bs lah. Why would they need to use an icbm on Ukraine? End to end Ukraine only ard 1300km wide. Well within the range of most of putin's medium range missile. An icbm with conventional payload isn't actually much more powerful than most mrbm. Maybe just a few hundred kg more of explosive? Doesn't really justify shooting one at your neighbour where there are more economical options.

And btw, mrbms can also be nuclear tipped. So why shoot an icbm?

What is the difference between icbm and nuclear?
What is mrbms?

Maybe a clear warning that ICBMs can be used against those NATO countries.........

Probably cos once icbm is launched, it will be hard to tell if it’s aimed at Ukraine or NATO. Of cos after a short while people will know but it would be a nerve wrecking short while.

If it was aimed at NATO and no one fired back before the hit, heads would roll, figuratively and literally

If it wasn’t aimed at nato and wasn’t nuclear tipped but someone from nato fired back, heads would roll, figuratively and literally

Tensions would escalate +++. So Putin is like warning NATO not to push further

ICBMs are intercontinental ballistic missiles. In short, it’s just a very long range missile.

it can have a nuclear or non nuclear warhead. Problem is u won’t know until the first explosion

 

[Moonnite_Firefly]

why not ?
russia also used north korea weapons on ukraine .... sumore as the invader

putin is quite the hypocrite... he accuses others of doing things but he himself allowing country like nkr to fight for him... but when someone is as thick-skin as putin they can stand on a fake moral high-ground... esp if the thick-skin hypocrite also has nukes~~

Putin already said, he know Russia alone cannot take on the whole Nato fighting with conventional weapons, mean nuclear liao if really escalate, and if Russia lose, they already said, if they ceased to exist, there is no need for this planet to exist also.

Then why he don't start firing nuclear now?

Yes but no one knows if the next will be nuclear

 

[Zangief]

Then why he don't start firing nuclear now?

early stage lah go nuclear just because ukraine hit it with 5-6 atcms ? even China will distance itself from Russia then.

 

[CanIsayNo]

Well done puppet Biden and friends. Remember, just blame Russia.

 

[Prismatic]

Maybe a clear warning that ICBMs can be used against those NATO countries.........

Which is idiotic. Most European countries are within the range of Russians mrbms too. icbms are for INTER-continental, not intra-continental.

 

[Zangief]

sekali is North Korea shoot tactical nuclear @ ukraine first, laugh die me. even so who dare to whack north korea back, China will 100% get involved.

 

[OutBreak]

Putin can give nuclear weapons to Bui Bui Kim. Don't need to dirty his own hands.

 

[lowveld]

Wu ji launch nuke la.

 

[OutBreak]

Wrong forum?

I agree. No need to use ICBMs with over 10,000 km range.

Russia's Medium Range Ballistic Missiles already has a range of 2,000 km.

Their Short Range Ballistic Missiles can reach up to 550 km.



In comparision, the ATACMS provided to Ukraine has a range of 300 km.

While Ukraine can identify if it was a ballistic missile fired at them, I suspect maybe there was some miscommunication. Military top brass told president that is was a ballistic missile, then president thought it must be ICBM.

Of course, it is also possibke that they intentionally said ICBM, since this would cause more fear. "Russia is attacking me, he can attack all of you as well since you all are within striking distance".
