Intercontinental ballistic missile 'Yars': a threat according to experts

According to the head of the Reserve Council of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Ivan Tymochko, the intercontinental ballistic missiles 'Yars' and 'Oreshnik' can carry nuclear warheads, which poses a serious threat. The expert noted that these missiles can have significant deviations and are not accurate. The errors in their impact at a distance of 500 meters are not critical, as nuclear weapons have a wider radius of destruction.

“Otherwise, it is just a large carrier of some charge that can cause serious problems. However, given that their cost is $50-100 million, the opponent could use this amount more effectively, for example, ten 'Calibers', the cost of which is within 7-11 million, depending on the range of ammunition and components,” - Tymochko said.

However, according to the expert, the Russian military leadership does not risk starting a nuclear war, as this would lead to irreparable destruction. Such actions by Putin and his entourage can only have negative consequences.

Demonstrative actions of the Kremlin

The latest actions of Russia, which plans to conduct test launches of the intercontinental ballistic missile RS-24 from the 'Yars' complex, are aimed at pressuring and intimidating Ukraine, the EU, and NATO. Earlier, Russia conducted missile tests, such as 'Oreshnik', to demonstrate its military power.

These actions are causing an increase in tension in the region and indicate that the Kremlin is trying to emphasize its nuclear strength to the international community.
