There isnt much is a choice for Ukraine, it’s fight(until Russia withdraw) or die (in a all our war like now or in a insurgency/territorial war), in all our war, you have support and acknowledgement of the world (and world news), where as the other is a silent war that not many knows.

Bad actors helping Russia, need to be called out and sanctioned.
Obviously they aren’t building these themselves…

Just like another fool’s “vengeance weapons” didn’t make a difference.

Well of course it won’t, large range ballistic missiles aren’t the most cost-effective way to lob conventional explosives to the country you’re trying to disgustingly invade.

ICBM without nuclear warhead is fairly useless. There is no high explosive or other non nuclear warhead for these things. Therefore ICBM without nuclear warhead is basically just delivering very high speed counter-weights. Sure, those things can absolutely do some damage if they hit target directly, but precision makes them fairly useless. For the US ICBM Trident in it’s latest version expected CEP is 100m, so half the MIRV would land within a 100m radius of the intended target. Now everyone can estimate the precision of Russian ICBM, considering Russia and Soviet Union before always went for stronger warheads instead of precision.
ICBM is probably what Ukraine needs to fear the least for now. Availbility and budget constraints will make death by ICBM as likely as death by lightning strike. The cost of firing ICBM without nuclear warhead is much higher than the damage of the average strike. Asking for defense against such attacks would basically be a waste of ressources. Ukraine needs to focus on the actual threats (which can do serious damage because of payload and available quantity).

Hmmm. Wonder weapons will change the tide of the war for the genocidal invaders. Sounds familiar, like 1945 maybe?

Wunderwaffe didn’t work in 1944 and they don’t work now. But fascists and dictators love their shiny toys.

Where have we seen this before? Dropping super weapons in the final days of the war…

So, is Russia resorting to wonder weapons now?
