Update to the original article on the Russian strike into Ukraine
Russian President Putin gave a short speech today and explained that they used a novel system, a medium-range missile with a hypersonic payload in its strike in Ukraine. It was essentially a test that worked perfectly.
As part of what the president called a “combat test,” the hypersonic missile, dubbed ‘Oreshnik’ (‘Hazel’), successfully struck a military-industrial facility in the Ukrainian city of Dnepropetrovsk (known as Dnipro in Ukraine), Putin added.
The strike was a response to Ukrainian attacks on military facilities located on internationally recognized Russian territory, the president stated. Kiev’s forces launched the strikes on Tuesday and Thursday, using US-made ATACMS and HIMARS systems as well as British-made Storm Shadow missiles, he said.
The president also vowed to publicly announce any future strikes against the Ukrainian targets involving the ‘Oreshnik’ system “for humanitarian reasons” to let civilians leave a potentially dangerous zone.
He said it is becoming a global war.
On Thursday, Russia threatened to attack a new U.S. ballistic missile base in Redzikowo, Poland, with ‘advanced weapons.’ The base opened on November 13.
“Given the nature and level of threats posed by such Western military facilities, the missile defense base in Poland has long been added to the list of priority targets for potential destruction, which, if necessary, can be executed with a wide range of advanced weapons,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, according to Reuters on Thursday.
He Reserves the Right to Attack Military Facilities of the West
Moscow reserves the right to strike the military facilities of countries that allow their weapons to be used against Russian territory, President Vladimir Putin has said.
The head of state gave a public address on Thursday, promising a decisive response to any aggression.
“We will determine the targets during further tests of our newest missile systems based on the threats to the security of the Russian Federation,” Putin stated.
The president continued: “We believe that we have the right to use our weapons against the military facilities of those countries that allow their weapons to be used against our facilities.”
According to Putin, the United States has ravaged the international security system, raising the risk of a global conflict.

Original Article
On Thursday, The Ukrainian Air Force claimed Russia fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) with multiple non-nuclear re-entry warheads on the city of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. However, both U.S. and Western Officials have refuted these claims, stating that the Missile used against Dnipro was not an ICBM but instead a Medium or Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missile.
Ukraine’s claim that an ICBM was used raised alarms because such a missile can carry nuclear warheads but can also be armed with conventional explosives. These are more powerful than the cruise missiles and shorter-range ballistic missiles that Russia has been using to target Ukraine since the first days of the war. There was no claim by Ukraine that a nuclear warhead was on the missile.
A senior U.S. official said the weapon appeared to be an intermediate-range ballistic missile, adding, “But it is a new type we have been tracking.”
Also, Kinzhal missiles hit the local Patriot air defense system battery.
This follows Joe Biden approving the use of long-range US-made missiles in Russia. Ukraine fired six long-range missiles 70 miles into Russia.
Still, Ukraine reports Russia launched six RS-26 missile strikes (ICBM), destroying the Yuzhmash defense plant. The plant includes Western-donated tanks. The US media picked it up as if Ukraine stated proven facts.
It was probably a new medium-range missile.

What Biden did in escalating the war in his lame duck period is pure evil. He’s on vacation, and Kamala is too. The swamp, which tells them what to do and say, has seemingly decided that nuclear war is better than Donald Trump having time to address the corruption in government.
The American people voted overwhelmingly for peace two weeks ago, and the administration doesn’t care. They are risking all our lives. This administration is risking the lives of people around the world.
At the same time, our borders are open, and six massive caravans are on their way to the United States. There is no way to vet these people, and they will all or almost all be released into the United States.
Russian ICBMs rained down on the Yuzhmash plant in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine. It’s the first time these weapons have ever been used in a war, and they’re capable of flying to a range of more than 6,200 miles. They are capable of carrying nuclear warheads. pic.twitter.com/MgEsMyDbQy

The use of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) against Ukraine’s Yuzhmash defense plant is a historic first for Russia in warfare. This MIRV-capable strike represents a dramatic escalation, likely aimed at deterring Ukraine and its Western allies.#ICBM pic.twitter.com/7pne5Vtnq4
