Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Kamchatka WTF? Anyone who has played Risk knows that Kamchatka is a long way from Ukraine.

Range is one thing. Hopefully it's accurate or else who knows what they would hit. It wouldn't look good if they hit civilians by accident.

I'm more surprised about Kaliningrad, what route would that even be?!

Go to Moscow, hang a left. When you hit the North Pole, head south...not, not that south, the other one! The other other one. After a bit, take another left for a couple hours, and you'll arrive at your destination on the right.

Poland will write a very strongly worded letter to Zelensky if that happens. They might even keep a straight face when delivering it to the Ukrainian ambassador.

R-36 "Satan" was desinged by and manufactured at Yuzhmash, now Pivden'mash, located in Dnipro, Ukraine. More recently, Pivden'mash has been building "Zenit" rockets, that has >70 successful launches and has a 13.7 t payload to LEO.

I think Ukraine is mostly waiting for a proper excuse rather than capabilities to send non-nucler ICBM in towards strategic locations in Russia.
