This truly unique weapon will force all who are trying to threaten our country in the heat of frenzied, aggressive rhetoric to think twice.

• Intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) can travel long distances and often carry a nuclear war head. Russia has the largest nuclear arsenal in the entire world.
• Russia claims this system “could hit targets anywhere in the world and evade any existing and future antimissile defense systems.” (WSJ)
• Why It Matters: As Russia continues to wage war in Ukraine, the costs continue to rise — not only in lives lost, but economically and politically for Pres. Putin. This missile launch is seen as both a potential advancement in Russia’s military arsenal and also as a potential threat for use against Ukraine and other countries around the world.
