Russia Strikes Ukrainian Defense Plant in Dnepropetrovsk Using Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles for the First Time in Warfare (VIDEOS)
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.
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.
At the same time of the main attack, Kinzhal missiles hit the local Patriot air defense system battery.
Express reported:
“Shocking footage has emerged showing what is believed to be the first use of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in warfare by Russia.
Missiles were reportedly fired from Kapustin Yar test range in the Astrakhan region, hitting the Yuzhmash defense plant in Dnipro.”

“The dramatic video shows flashes lighting up the sky – believed to be six separate warheads of a R-26 Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile.”
This is the very first time that a R-26 Rubezh has ever been used.
The conventional attack is believed to be paving the way for a potential tactical nuclear strike by Russian Federation forces.
“The suspected attack on the Yuzhmash defense plant is believed to be payback for Ukraine’s first ever use of British-French-made Storm Shadow missiles on Russian territory.”

As Ive been saying, Russia has options.
Ukrainian military sources claim that a non-nuclear intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) with multiple warheads was launched at them from Astrakhan in Russia, they cant be intercepted.
