Do you have a Topol?
If yes does it have MIRV's?
If yes it's a Yars.
If you remove the 3rd stage of the Yars ICBM, it is now Rubezh.
If you modify the MIRV's it is now a Oreshnik.
The Oreshnik/Rubezh it both a ICBM and IRBM.
This is like unlocking, a tech tree same base model and just replacing components like it's a Lego set
Russia instead of making a whole new name and whole new marketing for each tiny little modification to Topol keep it simple it's a Topol modified range or you could abbreviate it as Topol-MR
Nato stop giving every little modification its own separate reporting name.
Ukrainian OWA-UAV's struck Russian 105th assembly and testing building at the site located at the Kapustin Yar Nuclear Missile Test site at Kapustin Yar Cosmodrome.
This strike was in response to Russian ICBM strike on Dnipro.
Kapustin Yar Cosmodrome is Russia's premier missile test range since 1947 and had most recently conducted on April 12th 2024 a successful test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile.
The site has mainly been focused on launches of the RT-2PM Topol aka SS-25 Sickle over the past decade and had a S500 test in 2011.
Ukrainian OWA-UAV's struck the facility on July 9th 2024.
If I'm reading the map correctly should be the area highlighted in red where Ukrainian drones struck will wait for geolocation.

Ukraine mobilization and conscription is consistently at least 33% below battlefield losses.
See 47th Mechanized Brigade putting ads out on social media to try to replace battlefield losses with troops who have gone AWOL because the Ministry of Defense has not provided replacements.
Also see mobilization bill that was passed this spring that was supposed to call up 250,000 troops and 6 months later once again the Ministry of Defense is asking for 500,000 troops which they called for this time last year.
If Ukraine does not spend this winter doing literally everything possible and gets back in the mentality of everyone fights. No one quits or everyone dies. Then their country will be completely lost if they're hoping to maintain anything east of the Dnipro they need to get their head out of their ass. The Russians will be in Dnipro Oblast at current pace by March but if a fifth of the army has gone AWOL, they might see a complete front line collapse before that.
If Ukraine is hoping that the river will be a natural barrier, it won't this winter Ukraine needs to be building as many fortifications as possible and instead of creating new brigades that are at battalion level strength they need to be consolidating brigades to bring them back up to strength and they need to be sending every piece of construction equipment and engineer possible to the near rear to construct these defensive fortifications. Frontline units cannot continue to afford to split their forces in half one portion attempting to build fortifications with no equipment while the other half fights because we've seen all summer they get overrun suffer heavy casualties and then have to do the same thing all over.
The limited offensive which is Kursk has failed all objectives except for degradation of Russian Logistics though this has also failed to be exploited fully they should just withdraw and send these forces to Kupyansk and Pokrovsk where they are needed more.
I've stated many times Ukraine's need to target Russian Logistics along with @BruckenRuski in the near rear in order to shape the battlefield in Ukraine's favor. They continue to fail in this regard and as I stated multiple times, failure to do so particularly in the Southern theater by disrupting the Russian land bridge will make the situation in the Southern theater increasingly untenable with diminishing battlefield returns.
Also no doing deep strikes with limited numbers of surface-to-surface missiles will not change the situation on the ground which is severe lack of manpower as it has been for over a year and nor does it change Russia 's. Increasingly more streamlined Logistics supply chain to the front. x.com/Schizointel/st…
You want to know how Waffle House knows whether or not to keep their restaurants open welcome to the Waffle House Joint Intelligence Operations Coordination Center. Here we have a rare photo from inside the Waffle House Intelligence Fusion Center. What sticks out besides
Operational Meteorologists SME "Dan" is the wall of monitors bringing real time status of individual Waffle House franchise stores to the WH-JIOCC which helps the team make status reports to regional managers the decision makers on whether to keep a store open or closed this information is also sent to FEMA and other Emergency Management Agencies which is used to predict likely areas that will be impacted from natural disasters to better coordinate emergency resources.
The European mind cannot comprehend that a Breakfast Food Chain has its own devoted intelligence center that probably has more resources than half of NATO.
