From a nerd POV, this is what medium-range ballistic missiles look like when they fall on your city. These were designed for nuke MERVs, but were instead just used as Rods from God, as this is how desperate the RU war economy is currently. This is what is happening in Europe, right now.

Every time the imperialist Russians fire these, all nuke warnings go off everywhere, and we somehow avoid the nuclear apocalypse.

Super cool that this is now normalized and ignored.

not a justification but to give the chronological context https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Starobilsk_strike

> According to Russian officials, drones struck the dormitory and nearby educational buildings of the Starobilsk College

I am biased, as while I love the Russian people, I despise Russian Imperialism, and I cannot believe anything that they say at this point.

I have seen no evidence to support that story. Given the preponderance of phone cameras, one would expect at least a photo or two.

good thing our politicians say the truth all the time so we get all confused to hear russians and question it

Can you please break this response down for me? I genuinely do not understand.

meta: Wait a second, how did you even see my reply to a 3rd party, on an old post, and comment back within minutes?
