Russia attacks Dnipro with an intercontinental missile
Today, on November 21, Russian troops attacked Dnipro with an intercontinental ballistic missile. This attack was the first instance of such weapons being used against Ukraine. This was reported by the Center for Strategic Communication of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
"We will do everything to ensure that Russia is remembered in history only for its crimes," said Stratum.
The Air Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces noted that various missiles were launched towards Dnipro from Russian territory. In particular, the intercontinental ballistic missile 'Rubizh' was fired from the Astrakhan region.
No additional information regarding the details of Russia's missile attack on Ukraine was provided, stated the acting head of the communications department of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Air Forces, Yuri Ignat.
The specifications of the 'Rubizh' missile are unknown. However, estimates suggest it weighs between 40 and 50 tons, has a flight range of up to 6000 kilometers, and can carry four warheads, each with 0.3 Mt, similar to those on the 'Yars' missile.
It is suspected that the 'Rubizh' missile could have a hypersonic glide block of the 'Avangard' type. Additionally, it is noted that it is intended for transporting nuclear payloads.
Recently, Russia has accumulated more than 1500 missiles with a range of over 350 kilometers.
