🇺🇸 Pentagon about “Oreshnik”: Experimental ballistic missile created on the basis of the RS-26 “Rubezh” model
"I can confirm that Russia has indeed launched an experimental intermediate-range ballistic missile . This ballistic missile was created on the basis of the Russian model of the RS-26 “Rubezh” intercontinental ballistic missile, - said the spokeswoman for the United States Department of Defense, Sabrina Singh
Almost certainly an RS-26 then, first use of an ICBM on a civilian target (whether you call that ICBM or IRBM is semantics).
And Putin hasn’t been seen in public in almost two weeks. 🤔
First combat use of an ICBM at all, AFAIK.
