Vladimir Putin launched an intercontinental ballistic missile just after Donald Trump was re-elected, demonstrating Russia’s nuclear power in dramatic fashion. As a symbol of protest, Putin directed the powerful Yars missile against the Kozelsk missile unit in Kaluga. This action contains hints of a warning concerning World War III.
The Yars rockets have six warheads, each with a power of more than 100 kilotons, making them six times more powerful than the notorious Hiroshima bomb. They can also attack targets as far distant as 7,500 kilometers, allowing them to reach the United States and Europe.
