This is literally what happens during missile development it applies to every single missile program, you haven't got a clue and never had.
Russia has multiple types of capable and proven ICBMs in silos / mobile launchers / submarines and a range of air launched cruise missiles and nuclear torpedoes and reportedly over 5K nuclear warheads.
NO ONE is going to start a nuclear war with the Russians unless you're really fucking dumb.
By the way American astronauts were catching rides on Soyuz rockets because too many space shuttles fell apart killing everyone ;)
Lol. Typical ruski propaganda.
Soyuz rockets are from the 60s. Lol. First flight
28 November 1966.
ISS crew transport
Between 1 February 2003 and 26 July 2005 with the grounding of the United States Space Shuttle fleet, Soyuz was the only means of transportation to and from the International Space Station. This included the transfer of supplies, via Progress spacecraft, and crew changeovers. After the retirement of the Space Shuttle fleet in 2011, the United States space program was without any means to take astronauts into orbit, and NASA was dependent on the Soyuz to send crew into space until 2020.[5] NASA resumed crewed flights from the United States in 2020 through the Commercial Crew Development program.

In other words, so what? This has nothing to do with putin being able to successfully launch an attack. Btw- more cosmonauts have died at the hand of ruski rockets, than Americans have died in space shuttles. What ever happened to russias Shuttle? Lol. Abadoned.
If tomahawks rain down on st Petersburg, will putin resort to attempting to launch nukes? That is the question.
