War breaks out (Aug 15 2023) Russia fire deadly thermobaric rockets attack Ukrainian army

Russia has deployed launching systems capable of sending deadly thermobaric rockets at Ukrainian targets, a senior U.S. defense official told reporters on Tuesday, a possible signal that the Kremlin is readying more terrifying weapons in order to strike fear into the population after logistical hurdles have hampered the early stages of the military campaign.

Russia has fired more than 400 missiles into Ukraine over the course of the six-day conflict, according to Pentagon estimates, most of them short-range ballistic missiles. But U.S. officials insist that Russian troops, not Ukrainians, are the ones with a morale problem right now.
