Alleged missile type:

What do you think about this launch, could this maybe have been something else entirely?
If not, what is the objective behind it, is this a sort of warning to Europeans specifically?
Do you think we are going to see more ICBMs repurposed for conventional strikes, possibly to avoid cruise missile defenses?
Personally, I found the impact video very impressive despite the low quality, and very different from how I would have pictured a missile impact before.
We live in interesting times indeed.
