BREAKING | Russia have launched an intercontinental ballistic (ICBM) towards the city of Dnipro.
The first combat use of an ICBM in history.

If it's confirmed by Kremlin then I'm starting to get a bit worried. I'm not sure what to really think at the moment, but just hope they decide it's enough of a statement to use it.BREAKING | Russia have launched an intercontinental ballistic (ICBM) towards the city of Dnipro.

Apparently at least the footage is old. But augh... I'm just getting really anxious and I'm not sure if it's for no reason or not. I hope it is for no reason, but I don't want anything more stupid to happen, I'm 23 living pretty much smack dab in a city that very much would be hit with a nuke if things should happen.BREAKING: There has been an "unprecedented explosion" in the city of Dnipro, with some describing it as "a triple detonation."
"The blast is said to have been incredibly powerful, causing significant shock waves. Residents are urged to stay indoors and follow emergency protocols." - LiftLabFitness
Sorry I missed your posts in this thread and was posting in ~Ukraine Long range.Well one would think an ICBM plume from a launch would be picked up by NORAD so should be able to be confirmed eventually.
It was a conventional strike, let’s not make more of it than it is.
That's really good point. You would think our launch detection systems would pick up an ICBM launch. It's the only way to have a "launch on warning" doctrine. And in a launch on warning situation where the missiles have barely left their silos (or launch platforms), I cannot imagine it is easy to calculate its target. I would think that NORAD would have to "do something" if it detected the launch of an ICBM.Well one would think an ICBM plume from a launch would be picked up by NORAD so should be able to be confirmed eventually.
