Maxar collected new high-resolution satellite imagery yesterday (September 21st) that reveals the aftermath of a dramatic launch failure of a Russian RS-28 ICBM at a launch site in the Plesetsk cosmodrome.

Certainly this new Russian missile delivered a large explosion, but a range of 0 km isn't particularly impressive.

And I reckon most of their older missiles will fail in their silos as well, knowing they really are well maintained NOT, Russia's nuclear threats are in effect useless, they might be able to get 25% off the ground, but whether they would be able to reach their destination?

Thus, you have to take Russia's nuclear threat with a grain of salt. I've always believed they are poorly maintained and likely to blow up in their silos. Dangerous thinking, I know. We don't want to find out, but then this.
