Just when the United States was worried that Iran was going to draw a knife against Israel, a "top-secret intercontinental missile" was launched on the other side of the Caspian Sea on Iran's side, which became another focus of attention at the tense moment.
The launch of the "top-secret ICBM" was carried out by the Russian Strategic Missile Forces at the Kapustin Yar range, which is located in Russia's Astrakhan region, which is on the shores of the Caspian Sea, and is not far from Iran compared to the range of ICBMs. Moreover, Russia also has a Caspian flotilla deployed in the Caspian Sea, which is capable of launching "Caliber" cruise missiles to accurately strike targets in the Middle East.
Of course, this time, the main attraction is Russia's "top-secret intercontinental missile", and the Russian land-based intercontinental missile that is now well-known to the outside world is mainly the "Yars" model. "Yars" actually means "atomic deterrence rocket", this kind of intercontinental missile can carry a divided warhead, strike a range of more than 10,000 kilometers, even if launched from the Caspian Sea, can also deter the United States.
If it is according to the past situation, Russia will generally mention what missiles it has tested, but this time, in addition to confirming the launch of intercontinental missiles, Russia has not even bothered to mention the model, which indicates that the newly launched missile may be an "unknown model", and it may even be unknown to the United States.
This is because although Russia has not made any great achievements in conventional weapons technology in recent years, it is not ambiguous in the development of nuclear weapons, and the "Yars" is precisely a strategic weapon that Russia has rebuilt. And the new missile that Russia is now testing is very likely to be an upgraded model of the subsequent version, or even a new missile.
As for why Russia chose to launch missiles on Iran's side at this time, the implications may also be very complicated. Maybe it's because the missile base happens to be nearby, but maybe Russia is sending some kind of signal about the "Iran-Israel conflict." Considering that the United States is the initiator of the Middle East crisis, it is likely that Russia is also sending the most direct and tough warning to the United States.
