New air defense base in Poland!The first permanent US military base was opened in Poland, where the Aegis Ashore missile defense system is based. The SM-3 radar and launcher are located in the village of Redzikowo in northern Poland.
Russia added the base it it’s potential targets already!The new American missile defense base in Poland has already been included in the list of priority Russian targets in the event of war, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova.
"The opening of a missile defense base in Poland is another provocative step by the United States, which leads to an increase in strategic risks. This base has long been added to the list of priority targets for potential defeat by Russian troops,"

Multiple re-entry vehicles indeed. This is when things get bad. Notice how they all just so happened hit precisely in one place? Now think if they're all nukes, all steerable, and all headed to different locations of a glass paperweight, I mean... of a city. Nobody is shooting that down. The only way to eliminate this weapon is to take it down before reentry. Been talking about it for years.

Zelensky seems scared indeed:Zelensky: “Today, more details have been revealed about the new missile that Russia used to strike Dnipro. These details will be shared with international journalists and media because the world must know the truth. It must understand that the only party that does not want peace is Russia. That is why Russia is constantly escalating.
I am grateful to all partners who have already responded to this latest act of Russian madness. But words alone are not enough—action is required. In response, Ukraine’s Minister of Defense, under my directive, is already meeting with partners to secure advanced air defense systems—systems capable of protecting lives against these new threats.
When a country starts using other nations not only as targets for terror but also as testing grounds for its new missiles through acts of terror, it is undoubtedly an international crime. Russia’s actions mock the calls for restraint by states like China, leaders of the Global South, and others. Each time these voices call for peace, Moscow responds with yet another escalation.
The world must respond firmly and decisively so that Putin fears expanding this war and faces real consequences for his actions. True peace can only be achieved through strength—there is no other way.”

"Oreshnik" will reach any point in Europe, including Britain, in a matter of minutes - the capabilities of the new ballistic missile in the infographics of Readovka
Yesterday, Vladimir Putin presented the new medium-range ballistic missile "Oreshnik" to our friends and foes for the first time. A demonstration test of the new weapon took place at the Dnepropetrovsk "Yuzhmash". The new ballistic missile will need only moments to reach all the capitals of continental Europe, as well as the British Isles. Having taken on 1.5 tons of combat load (200 Hiroshimas), "Oreshnik", if launched from Kaliningrad, will "blossom" in Warsaw in 1 minute 21 seconds, in Berlin - in 2 minutes 35 seconds, in Paris - in 6 minutes 52 seconds, in London - in 6 minutes 56 seconds. After deploying the combat complex, aiming, and taking off the missile to an altitude of 10-12 km, the speed of the Oreshnik reaches approximately 12,250.1 km/h (10 Mach).
When hitting, the missile can deviate from the target by only 50 m, which will not help the latter in any way. Even without a nuclear charge, the new weapon is extremely dangerous for our enemies, who sponsor Ukraine with long-range missiles. At the end of the flight, the warhead disintegrates into several warheads that can also maneuver; even the most modern air defense systems are unable to detect them. Moreover, it is possible to program individual warheads for different targets. As a result, we get a missile flying at hypersonic speeds, which is impossible to shoot down during takeoff, and already unrealistic in flight, from the power of which there is no point in hiding. However, in the event of a full-scale war, the Iskander will most likely fly at enemies located east of Berlin, so as not to waste the excess power of the Oreshnik. But Paris, London, Brussels and others will have to get acquainted with this new product of the domestic defense industry.
* Calculations are made based on the fact that 1M (Max) is equal to 1225 km/h and without taking into account the curvature of the ballistic trajectory

CLARIFICATION: Russia’s IRBM launch at Ukraine made the US and Europe think Russia is nuking Ukraine for a short moment.
Now the after more information appeared in the evening yesterday it became clear that Russia did give the US a warning.But the details matter! I’ve dug through many channels and announcement and that what I think happened now!
Russia told the US exactly 30 minutes before launch, that they’re gonna launch a big missile at Ukraine, not specifying any more details.This is enough to uphold the nuclear safety protocol, a country needs to announce the flight trajectory so countries know who is targeted.
Saying a missile at Ukraine is hence enough, so the US knew it’s not targeted at them, nor any NATO allies.
But the US had no clue what is going to be launched, where exactly in Ukraine it will land, nor if it is nuclear.So for a short moment US and Europe thought Russia is potentially nuking Ukraine.
They only knew that it was not nuclear by checking if the city Dnipro is still physically there after the impacts.
Especially Europe was freaked out, since they were surprised by the launch fully and had no warning.
-> Essentially, If Russia decides to nuke Ukraine … the west will only just watch.
