Launching ICBMs without nuclear warhead is comically ineffective.
These are too expensive and too imprecise. 200m for nuclear warhead is nothing, but for conventional warhead it renders it meaningless against real targets. Bombing random houses, sure. But they can already use KH-xx for that, which cost 100 times less.
They can’t launch ICBM without preannouncing it ahead of time to all other nuclear nations. But next time or soon after that, USA would bring in their anti-ICBM systems for testing on real flying targets.

Which defense system can be used against ICBMs? send them over to Ukraine.

Did it arrive in parts? Was this a scud? Or did it meet a interceptor missile on its way?

World leaders, time to step it up

Well, time for testing USs early warning, mid course, and late course interceptors. This is a perfect training environment for these platforms. The mean time is to keep sending ukraine long-range munitions

Aren’t Russia just using these to show that they can strike with icbms? And if they wanted they could use scarier bombs?

Looks more like MLRS launches played in reverse

Did anyone check the area for radiation?

Why there were no explosions on the ground? And how did it look, just piece of metal falling from the sky? What’s the point?

If this is 6 MIRVS, 5 of them have disintegrated in the atmosphere.

Anyone want to bet that Russia is unable to perform mandatory service on these things so they will shoot them before they can’t fly?
