Putin’s not above an ‘oopsy.’ If they do this, I guarantee every country with a nuclear defense shield is going to be sitting with their finger on the button at the first sign of any deviation from course...

“A weapon unused is a useless weapon.”

Russia has been putting stuff (and even Americans) into space for a long time. This isn’t China we’re talking about here.

i mean, the are not north korean whose missile explode on almost every single launch attempt.

I’d love to see them succeed, but I’d hate to see them fail. Because really who knows where that missile is going to land. I trust neither their ability to get it right, nor their integrity to actually fire it at a meteor, vs ‘oops we nuked Turkey/San Francisco/etc.’

I wonder how many resources were used to obtain this picture during the Cold war.

Reminds me of this scene from the Hunt for Red October:

Kursk was a Oscar II class, but she is still fat and lovely!
