Ukrainian media published footage of a strike by Ukrainian Storm Shadow cruise missiles, made in England, on a building in the village of Maryino in the Kursk region of Russia. The strike was carried out on buildings on the territory of the estate of the princes Baryatinsky, it is unknown what is there. According to Ukrainian media, there is a communications bunker under the building. The second version of the media is that there were North Korean soldiers in the bunker. Judging by the video, there is no air defense in the area. Or the air defense is not equipped with radar to detect low-flying targets, this happens quite often. Why is this happening, the length of the front line is about 2000 km, the Russian army does not have enough air defense systems to cover all the facilities in Russia, since there are thousands of them. It is worth noting that no air defense can shoot down 100% of targets. Earlier, it was proposed to create an air defense belt around Ukraine, but it is unknown whether this was implemented. The video was filmed by a Ukrainian drone on November 20 and shortened. Judging by the video, about 10 missiles reached their target. At the end, the results of the missile strike are shown, but it is difficult to understand anything from them.
The War in the Ukraine
- Thread starter SampanViking
- Start date
Ukrainian media reported that Russia used the RS-26 Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile to strike the Yuzhmash plant in Dnepropetrovsk. This has not been officially confirmed. There is almost no information about the Russian RS-26 Rubezh missile system. The missile's range is about 3,500 km and the missile's weight is about 50 tons. The RS-26 Rubezh missile's warhead presumably has 6 separating warheads. The guidance system is autonomous and inertial. The video shows a truly unusual missile strike on Ukraine. The attack resembles something similar to strikes by separating warheads of an intercontinental ballistic missile. The missile's warhead was uncharged. There are media versions that conventional Iranian or North Korean missiles were used.
US confirms its not RS-26, could still be a modified Yars
A single MRBM carrying 36 warheads/payloads?
It seems that the Russians could have 150 missiles that would be used for commercial purposes from a Russian-Ukrainian joint venture that went bankrupt. The same source claims that the Russians could have a huge amount of decommissioned ICBMs.
Putin: Ukrainian conflict has become global after Western missile attack on our country
The President noted that Ukrainian forces attacked Russian territory with Western long-range missiles, stressing that Russian military facilities in the Bryansk and Kursk regions were attacked with these missiles.
Putin stressed that the goals set by the enemy when Western long-range missiles struck Russia were not achieved. He stressed that these missiles cannot affect the course of the special operation.
The Russian President also noted that it is impossible to use long-range missiles without specialists from the countries in which they are manufactured, and this is well known.
Putin said that the Russian Armed Forces launched a strike on a Ukrainian defense industry facility in response to attacks with American and British weapons on Russia.

We still don't know how many missiles were fired or how the missile is. But remember you can remove the upper stages of a missile and put a larger and heavier bus with more reentry vehicles in it. You will get less range but more payload.
The fact this entered service just two years after the conflict in Ukraine started means it either had to be based on an ongoing program, it reuses existing components, or both. It takes like half a decade just to design a rocket engine.
I agree with your comment. But the news sources that are coming out describe a single missile, or at least that's how I'm understanding it.
Getting kinda nervous guys.
