Russia's defense ministry shared a video of an intercontinental ballistic missile being loaded.
It identified it as a "Yars" missile, which has a nuclear warhead.
Russia shared the video following reports that the US will send a Patriot defense system to Ukraine.

Russia's defense ministry shared a video of a intercontinental ballistic missile being loaded into a launch silo, days after reports surfaced that the US is preparing to send an advanced Patriot air defense system to Ukraine.

The Russian ministry shared the video on Telegram on Thursday, saying that it showed the loading of an "intercontinental ballistic missile into silo launcher" in Kozelsk, a town in western Russia.
It claimed the missile was a "Yars," which has a nuclear warhead. Russia previously fired a Yars missile in October, as part of a test conducted by the country's nuclear forces.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his senior officials have threatened the use of nuclear weapons throughout the war in Ukraine, but have cooled their rhetoric in recent weeks.
Putin said last week that Russia had not "gone mad" about their use, and would not be the first country to use them, the BBC reported.

This latest video comes after reports that the US is set to send a Patriot missile defense system to Ukraine.

The New York Times and CNN both reported that the US is in the final stages of the process, citing US officials, with approval potentially as early as this week.
Russia initially said in response that it would wait for official confirmation before reacting, and then said that it would consider the Patriot missile system a legitimate target.

This shit needs to end. I had a dream last night where Russia launched a nuke at the US and it landed near (ish) me. Horrible all around.

It's all a pony show, they have nukes locked and loaded at all times just like the US.

we're all locked and loaded.
especially jules when he's angry. he's a mushroom-cloud dropping fucker.

nukes require maintenance, not only rockets getting rusty, but the nuclear material decays with time and have to be refilled.

and considering what we've seen with the maintenance of tanks and planes, i don't see them lasting very well
