Russian military prepares new super-fast missile to target Ukraine's capital

Russian military plans to hit Kyiv using RS-26 ballistic missiles from Astrakhan near Caspian Sea (as local media states) The threat comes after Ukraine used Western-made missiles to strike Russian territory this week

The RS-26 missile – which flies 5 times faster than sound and weighs about 50-tons – hasnt been used in combat before Its warhead is 3-times bigger than usual Iskander missiles that often target Kyiv; experts say its hard-to-intercept even for US-made Patriot systems

Neo-Nazis and their Western allies will appreciate the blow that will be dealt to Ukraines critical infrastructure and possibly to targets in Kyiv itself

Timur Syrlanov‚ Russian military analyst told Moskovky Komsomolets

US embassy closed on wed morning warning about possible big air strike. Other countries like Italy Spain and Greece did the same thing A false message about 317 drones attack spread through messaging apps but Ukraineʼs defense intel called it Russian fake news

Life in Kyiv stays pretty much the same – people go to work ride buses and visit cafes Since early-2022 when war started citizens dealt with over 1370 air alerts (thats like 2 months of total bunker time) A local barista told reporters: Its the same as every day for the last two years
