    Russia is mobilizing ICBMs https://twitter.com/ASBMilitary/status/1497303753145335814

    edit: Apparently it's been moved for a parade . ASBMilitary is also an unreliable source of info, as @Qelp has brought to my attention. You guys are already aware of this, but anyone reporting from behind the fog of war may have inaccurate info or even be deliberately spreading propaganda.

      TIL (right now) that ICBMs don't necessarily have to be nuclear. That actually makes me feel worse.

      A tweet reply...

      It's a devastating Icbm (intercontinental ballistic missile) which can be equipped with a nuclear warhead.

      Yeah this is not good in any way

      I'll make myself feel better. When I was in middle school I learned the term ICBMs from when my parents were watching the news. The term was gold to my middle school boy brain.

        Why would they use a 11000Km range missile for that lol

            Cruise missile: shoot it through the sky and the computer will get it on target

            ICBM: shoot it up into space (not into orbit), and the computer will direct it so that it hits its target on the way back down

            if ASBMilitary is to be believed, that's an intercontinental ballistic missile that can be fitted with a nuclear payload. just vibes.

      another clip

      https://twitter.com/ASBMilitary/status/1497307191291822083

      I was watching a little RT doc on the Topol a while back, things are fucking scary. Practically run like a mini bunker even though it is mobile.

      This account is known to spread false info btw, dude claimed that Odessa was taken within hours on the first night, yet there still isn’t any activity there besides occasional air and artillery strikes
