> this is a new weapon no it's not. it's literally an rs-26 with inert ballast rv for testing. at least when the us did it for conventional prompt strike (cps) for the conventionally armed trident ii d5 slbm they made actual maneuvering reentry vehicles, ones with he warheads, and even ones with 3ft long, 1.25 inch diameter tungsten rods. this is a shit attempt to bluff the west into not allowing ukraine to strike inside russia anymore, as it will completely btfo their smo and force them home with their tails between their legs. > that can't be intercepted of course, they can be intercepted. thaad, sm-3, and sm-6 would make short work of them. pac-3, and pac-3 mse might get 6 or so before running out of interceptors, though. at max, they're doing mach 15 detection time would be key. > and that has absolutely insane raw power. not really, especially being inert testing rv, and small ones at that to fit 20-24 on a single bus - even double stacked.
