The United Kingdom reveals the serious problem that Russia is hiding by launching atomic weapons without a nuclear head in Ukraine

The British government considers it "probable" that Russia is launching missiles against Ukraine designed to be used as atomic weapons, but devoid of nuclear warheads, which would show that it is running out of its reserve of long-range projectiles.

In its daily part about the war in Ukraine, the British Ministry of Defense warned this Saturday of the use of these missiles, which "although they will still cause damage due to their kinetic energy and the remaining fuel, it is unlikely that they will achieve reliable effects on the goals," he said.

The ministry has assured in its statement that images obtained in open source code show the remains of an AS-15 KENT cross missile, designed in the 1980s exclusively to be used as a nuclear weapon and whose head would have been replaced by a ballast.

In London's view, Moscow is almost certainly using this type of weaponry as a decoy to distract Ukrainian air defenses.
