Supposedly, an RS-26 was launched from Astrakhan and targeted at infrastructure in Dnipro.

They probably are afterwards. Most sat pics trained on that have some kind of image recognition stuff running in the background and they flag that. Apparently that's how that Satan failure was also firstly detected

Edit: I also wouldn't be so sure about the ICBMs being in the same state as everything else.

You mean the weapons that are a) very very expensive b) never supposed to actually being used?

It's like their nuclear capability. Very expensive to keep in shape.

Not saying they don't have any, but if you were a corrupt russian general (are there non corrupt ones?) I bet they only took care of a couple on the houndreds.

A couple of hundred with MIRV are enough to absolutely and completely wreak havoc, not even mentioning nuclear winter and all that follows... Also, don't forget the subs
