Why this matters

The 9M729 missile, also known as the SSC-8 or Novator 9M729, was central to the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty dispute, leading to the US withdrawal in 2019. Its confirmed use in Ukraine escalates concerns about Russia's adherence to arms control and the nature of weapons deployed in the conflict, potentially signaling a more aggressive stance or a disregard for international arms agreements.
