These weapons are the kind of thing the Ukrainians have developed to “retaliate” against random civilian housing blocks whenever Russia craters a command center. They’re basically modern V1/V2 rockets “This will terrify the russian population into submission!!”
Ukraine is starting to topple, and the US has to ensure the right sort of people maintain control of whatever is left.
Who would win in a coup, the depleted conscript armed forces, or well armed, ideological paramilitaries with outside funding and direction?
