    I read at as the missile is capable of containing a nuclear payload.

    Also more Russian posturing.

      And to add to this - you can’t really tell what kind of payload a missile carries and where it will go precisely. This one hit 40km from EU border so Poland doing nothing in response was just hoping for the best.

      The missile itself could have been intercepted if Ukraine had sufficient air defense - they shot down hypersonic missiles before but they’re no longer being supplied with Patriot systems / missiles.
