Russian ballistic missile attack on Ukraine portends new era of warfare This is the first time an IRBM, once restricted by a Cold War arms treaty, has been used in combat. arstechnica.com/science/2024/1…
At what point will Russians realize that these escalating measures are no longer a special military operation and the situation is not under Putin's control?
"The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, ratified by the United States and the Soviet Union in 1988, banned ground-launched IRBMs. The US pulled out of the treaty in 2019 under the first Trump administration, citing non-compliance from Russia. At the time, US officials noted that China, which was not a signatory to the treaty, possessed more than 1,000 IRBMs in its arsenal."
