As we stare into the future of the war in Ukraine, we now have daily escalations from both sides, each scarier than the next.
On Thursday, Russia fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) with multiple non-nuclear re-entry warheads on the city of Dnepropetrovsk, in Ukraine.
This comes after Joe Biden approved the use of long-range US-made missiles to be fired by Ukraine into Russia – which they did earlier this week.
This strike marks the first time that an ICBM has been used in the history of human conflict.
There are currently no countermeasures for the Oreshnik missile, Russian President Vladimir Putin said. Speaking in a televised address, the head of state assured that Russia will issue notifications before using this type of missile.
In response to the West’s decision to authorize strategic-depth strikes on Russia, Moscow used its new Oreshnik medium-range hypersonic ballistic missile for the first time. The missile was fitted with a conventional warhead, but is designed to carry a nuclear charge as well.
Watch: ICBM strike in Yuzhmash defense plant
“The dramatic video shows flashes lighting up the sky – believed to be six separate warheads of a R-26 Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile TYpe.”
It is believed that six RS-26 missile strikes completely destroyed the Yuzhmash defense plant, where the damaged American Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and German Leopard tanks were being repaired.
The West’s confrontational policies may invoke harsh consequences if the conflict continues to escalate further, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in his speech.

A Show of Force Against NATO
The use of a medium-range intercontinental missile in neighboring Ukraine, when three Kinzhal hypersonic missiles would have been enough to achieve the same effect, is obviously just a multiple demonstration of strength by Putin’s Russia.
It is in fact the live text of a new hypersonic intercontinental medium-range missile (2-5 thousand km instead of the more than 5 thousand of the classic ICBMs or the 11 thousand of the Sarmat) that could hit the NATO headquarters in Brussels in 15 minutes without being intercepted due to its hypersonic speed and that could carry at least 6 different nuclear warheads capable of creating a devastating and simultaneous impact also on London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Prague, Warsaw…
Below is a summary of the Russian leader’s remarks as reported by TASS Russian News Agency.
West’s strike repelled by Russian Air Defenses
Earlier this week, military sites in Russia’s borderline Kursk and Bryansk regions were attacked by US- and UK-made missiles.
“Our air defenses successfully repelled these attacks. As a result, the adversary failed to achieve its apparent goals.”
Washington and its NATO allies went the way of escalation by deciding to authorize the use of long-range weapons for strategic-depth strikes on Russia: “Experts are well aware – and the Russian side has repeatedly underscored this – that it is impossible to use these weapons without direct participation of military specialists from the countries that produce them.”
Technical Characteristics of the New Impossible to Intercept Missile
Having repelled Ukraine’s attacks with US-and UK-made missiles, Russia retaliated by delivering a strike on a defense production site in Ukraine.
Russia struck Yuzhmash, a Ukrainian aerospace plant, with a nuclear-capable hypersonic ballistic missile, only carrying a conventional warhead this time. The missile was codenamed Oreshnik by its designers, which can roughly be translated as ‘hazel bush.’
“There is no way to counter the missile at this point.”
Oreshnik attacks targets at a speed of Mach 10, or 2.5-3 kilometers per second. “Modern air defense systems and missile defense systems deployed by the Americans in Europe cannot intercept such missiles. It is impossible.”
“We tested the Oreshnik missile in combat conditions in response to the aggressive actions of NATO regarding Russia.”
The RS-26 Rubezh, of which Oreshnik is the latest technological evolution, reportedly has a starting weight of about 40-50 tons and is capable of delivering 4 separate combat units at a distance of 2,000 to 6,000 kilometers. It is three times larger and much more powerful than the Iskander mobile short-range ballistic missile system.
It has an advanced protection against the missile defense system and reportedly four individual thermonuclear warheads with a capacity of 150-300 kilotons each. No foreign air defense system is technically able to intercept it.
The exact number of missiles of this type in service with the Russian military is classified. According to open sources, the Russian Federation possesses at least 200 RS-26 Rubezh and PC-24 Yars missiles (read below),which is more than enough to deal series of devastating blows on its enemies.
