Key conclusions:
These missiles are effectively not interceptable.
Their current inert warheads cause limited, localized damage rather than mass destruction.
If the warheads were replaced with nuclear payloads, the consequences would be catastrophic: a single missile could carry multiple nuclear warheads, potentially half-megaton each, devastating vast areas, igniting mass fires over hundreds of square kilometers, and functioning as strategic-level nuclear weapons.
Russia already possesses this nuclear capability; the system discussed is new in form, not in strategic effect.
Missile flight times described in reports are realistic due to non-lofted, direct trajectories, resulting in very short warning times.
