As a response to American and British missiles being shot into Russia proper, Russia responded by launching a salvo of iron penetrator dummy MIRV heads from a new IRBM (intermediary range ballistic missile) launchers onto a military factory in Dnepropetrovsk. Judging by the expected effect of big chunks of iron shredding through steel and concrete at 5km/s speed, that factory is toast, and the message? The range of that thing is 5000km. London is in range, the entire Europe is in range. The message is “keep fucking around and you’ll find out what happens when we arm those with the proper payload and deliver them to your home”. The weapon is incredibly precise; it’s precise enough you can shoot London from Arkhangelsk and pick not only which building you want to hit, but which rooms in which order. I expect it’s armed with six thermonuclear warheads 150kt each. It’s a very clear warning, as clear as you can get without actually shooting at NATO countries, and without using the actual nukes. When I’m saying I’m not sure it’s the last warning, I mean there’s a possibility that they will fire such a salvo at the MI6 building in the centre of London, for instance – non-nuclear, but nothing will be left standing. Not sure it makes sense – at that point, better combine messages and make it nuclear, because apparently some people believe that Russian nukes don’t work.
