LINK Britain says Russia likely removing nuclear warheads from missiles and firing at Ukraine
(Reuters) - Russia is likely removing nuclear warheads from ageing nuclear cruise missiles and firing unarmed munitions at Ukraine, Britain’s military intelligence said on Saturday.
The defense ministry said open source imagery shows wreckage of an air launched cruise missile fired at Ukraine which seem to have been designed in the 1980s as a nuclear delivery system, adding that ballast was probably being substituted for the warheads.
Such a system will still produce damage through the missile’s kinetic energy and unspent fuel. However, it is unlikely to achieve reliable effects against intended targets, the ministry added in its daily intelligence update posted on Twitter.
“Whatever Russia’s intent, this improvisation highlights the level of depletion in Russia’s stock of long range missiles”, the ministry said.

The Russians have used up more than half their reserves of weapons and humans. Their supply lines have been cut, their troops are deserting and surrendering, the country's economy is failing and their civilian population is catching on to the government lies.
For them, it's all downhill from here.

Wrong. Nazi Germany was first.
Actually, it was the Jesuits who 1st coined the word "propaganda" - "For the propagation of the faith". But I'm a Brit so don't believe me.
Y'all missing the point. A completely unverifiable story from America's closest ally that paints the Russian war effort in a bad light should be taken with a truckload of salt. Especially since this is one of the most propagandized wars in American history.
I didn't get any info from BBC or MI6.
Likely? More like definitely. Uh oh, looks like Russia's stock of long range missiles is getting rather low, lol. The desperation is setting in, but I rather doubt Putin will admit to such anytime soon though.
