The Russian Federation launched intercontinental ballistic missiles at Ukraine for the first time: how such missiles attack

On the 21st leaf fall, the Russians first hit the Ukraine. Missiles of this class are formed in three stages.

RBC-Ukraine reported this on Defense Express.

It is entirely unknown what kind of missile Russia launched at Ukraine today. Analysts assume that the RS-26 “Rubezh” or “Yars” will be the same.

It is stated that the “Rubezh” will be able to reach medium-range ballistic missiles and can fly thousands of kilometers away. However, the actual flight range in a straight line was almost 800 kilometers.

The rocket was launched from the Astrakhan region, most likely, from the Kapustin Yar test site. The launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile is close to the 5th stage.

Missiles of this class are launched from a ruined soil complex. Initially, during launch, a special explosive charge is fired, which shoots the rocket itself out of the container. After this, the solid-burning engine of the first stage is started.

Such rockets are composed of three stages. The first one is responsible for launching the rocket to a height in the thinned atmosphere. Then they gradually begin to practice the other and third stages.

Defense Express reports that such missiles leave space only to fly along a ballistic trajectory. There itself is a separation of the head blocks of the so-called “bus”. It is his responsibility to throw off separate blocks and target targets.
