I hope to be very wrong about the USA shifting to support Russia with the new president. Best wishes to you whatever the future brings.

It really makes me worry
But he's sending mixed messages..... Although I have nothing left to do but hope anyway

While I completely support Ukraine here, there IS a question of whether this was actually an ICBM or not. I suspect that we'll find out for sure soon, though.

In any case, stay safe!

Thank you so much for your support and for sharing your thoughts. At the time it really felt like the worst had happened, and even now it's hard to process. The technical details of the type of missile don't change how terrifying it was to experience, but I'm relieved to hear that more clarity is emerging. I appreciate your concern - stay safe, too

[late reply, sorry....]

No problem, of course.

As I'm sure you know by now, this was a new type of medium range missile, the Oreshnik, which Is hardly less terrifying than an ICBM, particularly for Ukraine. It's based on the design of an ICBM, after all.

Its warhead has six sub munitions, each of which has six targetable munitions. Those could even be nuclear tipped.

The one possible upside here could be that this is a new weapon and very expensive to produce, and that they've made very few of them so far, so they aren't likely to be a serious threat, at least any time soon. This was Russia showing off a new weapon.

I'll be safe, particularly compared to anyone in Ukraine right now, so no real complaints here, but thanks.

We do have our own type of threat here though, with the impending presidency of Drumpf.

My thoughts are mostly with you guys and the Palestinians right now.

Yeah, I know all those details already.
I know it didn't do much damage where it fell.
But every time there's a Ukraine-wide air alert because of the threat of this rotten nut (Oreshnik = hazel/hazel tree), I'm still scared out of my mind

Of course. And may you all be safe! It doesn't take one of those missiles to do serious damage.

Nice word play there, too. I noticed where the name of the missile came from when I was double checking on the name of it.

I guess humor is one of the few ways to cope sometimes, it helps lighten the fear, even just a little
For example, now one of the monitoring channels when the threat of reapplication of Oreshnik ends they write “cancel the threat on macadamia”

Heh.

Humor is always a refuge in our darkest moments. I've heard some out of Ukraine in the last couple of years.
