Plus the “Russia launches ICBM!!!” headline potential.

They pull 70 years old tanks out of storage all the time, they have used rare nuke-safe tanks on the battlefield, they have to beg North Korea (!) for help and more.

This just screams stock and command problems.

They are losing so they are getting desperate and thus does tries stupid things.

What Russia wants us to think:

“O no, allowing Ukraine to fire atacms into Russia was to much escalation! We must back down!”

What we actually think:

“Russia ran out of missiles and has to reach deep down its soviet arsenal to fire the last thing it’s got. Next, they’ll fire an R7”

Yes, an attack on a NATO member would immedialy invoke article 5 (which has only been done once in history - 9/11)

Well, I’m sure the US military complex is excited to test whether they can swat these out of the sky with their expensive toys. Now they have a chance to try.

And the more Russia launches, surely that technology will improve

He’s a big narcissist so having capabilities is probably going to flatter his ego.
