It used a warhead with MIRV technology (multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles), which splits up before impact.

- yawpitch 2y agoYeah, I know what it’s purported to be, I just don’t see multiple warheads detonating in an obviously intentional and targeted way that causes meaningful military objectives… instead I see a bunch of what looks like randomly arriving debris hitting the ground really fast and doing very little.
- IAmGraydon 2y agoI'm sure our military knows, but the idea is that it doesn't matter what it destroyed. What matters is that a volley of MIRVs seems to have been delivered in Ukraine. Honestly though, this is just another weak move from Putin. He's a an absolute clown who's foolishly taken his neighbor's house hostage, is surrounded by police and is now waving his gun in the air, repeatedly screaming "I'm gonna do it!". That's where we are. His chances of coming out of this unscathed are now zero. It's just how he's going to go out that we have to figure out.
- yawpitch 2y agoGiven who and what is about to once more penetrate the oval orifice, Putin isn’t just going to come out unscathed, he’s going to come out with a significant part of Ukraine, ready and willing to take more, and entirely capable of streamrolling through Europe. And that’s despite the fact that, were this actually an ICBM+MIRVs (as opposed to one or more IRBMs or MRBMs) then it appears to have gone limp.
