s0nicfan 12/01/22 3:20:27 PM #1:	tl;dr: They're taking the warheads out of precision guided nukes and launching them without explosives to hit targets in Ukraine, presumably because they're running out of missiles. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63826082 Russia is now using nuclear-capable missiles with non-explosive warheads to exhaust Ukraine's air defences, the Ukrainian military has said. It displayed what it said were fragments of Soviet-made X-55 cruise missiles - designed for nuclear use - found in Ukraine's two western regions. Moscow is now resorting to using blunt projectiles that still cause devastation, they say. A UK intelligence report in November came to similar conclusions. He said the projectiles were designed in Soviet times to hit "strategic targets with predetermined co-ordinates". The UK said the missiles were designed "exclusively as a nuclear delivery system". However, it is believed the Russian military removed the nuclear warheads from the missiles fired at Ukraine and replaced them with an inert system. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
