More and more indications of Ukraine having launched its first ballistic missile at Moscow.
Something big came down in Yudanovka, a village around 50 kn from the Red Square in Moscow. Russia reports it shot down a long-range SRBM launched by Ukraine.
Witnesses have taken pictures of attempted S-300/S-400 interceptions taking place far up in the sky, at altitudes much higher than drone or cruise missile interceptions take place.
Ukraine said a few days ago that the new FP-9 ballistic missiles is almost ready and will be fired as possible as soon as possible, potentially even before the end of June.
It has a range of at least 855 km and a warhead of 800 kg, nearly double that of what Russia’s Iskander ballistic missiles carry.
It also has an incoming speed of Mach 7, reaching Moscow within 3 minutes of launch in Ukraine, making it very hard to intercept. A CEP of 20 meters means it’s very accurate (more than 50% of fired missiles land within a 20-meter radius of the exact target coordinates).
The Russians living in Moscow won’t be happy at all once it’s mass-produced and launched frequently in large quantities against Moscow.
Excellent work @DenShtilierman
