Fucking sad that Ukraine needed to build their own ballistic missiles because its "allies" didn't back them up with ballistic missiles. Instead they just provided a bunch of loans to enrich themselves. When the war is over, Ukraine better start up their nuclear weapon production so that nobody fucks with them again.
Russia's ballistic missiles were designed by Ukrainians in Ukraine back when it was part of the Soviet Union, so it doesn't surprise me in the slightest that they remember how to do it. Shame that it is necessary, but good on 'em.
"War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the masses." -Major General Smedley D. Butler.
